Default Gym listings in Europe?

Is there some sort of online directory listing locations of
gyms/health clubs in Europe that have daily memeberships available? I
have seen web listings of wifi hot spots and internet cafes, so why
not gyms?
Maybe some of the European travel guide books list locations of the
nearest gyms? Does anyone know?
I will be on an extended vacation of 5-6 weeks and would like to be
able to continue working out during the vacation. If it was just a 1
or 2 week trip, I would just skip it, but 6 weeks is a bit much to
skip.
Due to the length of the trip, we wil also be staying in budget hotels
and even a few hostels that will likely not have any kind of fitness
centers. To make finding gyms as small of a hardship and distraction
as possible I only plan to use a gym 2 days a week during the
vacation.
The trip will be primarily though England, France, Spain + Ibiza,
Italy, and Greek islands (Santorini\Mykonos).

Just look them up in the phonebook. Almost all gyms in Europe will
let you have a day pass, usually for 10-15 euros. Or many hotels will
let you use their fitness center for a price - also usually around
10-15 euros.

Here is one chain of clubs.
This is the club I work out at and it's nice at least in my town.
It doesn't cover all of Europe, mainly the UK and Spain it looks like.
I live in Sweden and there happens to be one close to me. I usually have to
pay about 15 euro when I bring a guest along.

And they don´t have a power rack?

LOL. You're absolutely right. Not at my place anyways. I don't know what it
looks like at the other gyms though. But let me tell you, they have a really
huge bubble pool and an awful lot of good looking babes.
I am starting a campaign to get them to install a powerrack. It's going to
be interesting to see what they do ;)

Hi TS!
Here's something you can consult for France:

Have a good day!
