Padel Academy Options in Spain ( option feedback)

819 commentsu/PsychologicalTap24591w ago

Hi Padel community, I’m looking for feedback from anyone who has personal experience with Vest Padel in Valencia, or has heard solid recommendations about it. I’ve heard good things, but I’m trying to figure out whether it’s actually worth the price. I reached out because I’m planning to stay in Valencia for a few weeks, and they quoted me €1,050 for 10 private classes (1.5hrs each) I’m not sure if that is a normal market rate for Valencia or if that sounds expensive compared to other academies in other parts of Spain . I’d really appreciate any honest feedback from people who know the market or have trained there before. Thanks in advance.

€70 an hour seems very steep. Our coach charges €30 an hour. (Portugal)

It is expensive for spain

u/bachaterol1w ago

Looks like they gave you the tourist price. I pay around the same price for 90 minutes in Germany. Friends I talked to mentioned 40-50 euros per hour max in Spain.

u/PsychologicalTap2459OP1w ago

Which one would they recommend for that price range?

u/spikefly1w ago

It might be normal for their club, because possibly their brand recognition allows them to charge more. Also, some clubs tend to cater towards padel tourists and they charge more. The question is whether you want to pay for brand recognition. I have no idea if they are better then the standard coaches in Valencia, but that is much higher than what I’ve heard. I live in Portugal, but I’ve also been checking out Spain training options for the summer.

Yea I was thinking the same thing. I was wondering what they charge the locals or if they charge them the same thing because I speak Spanish natively so I wonder going in person would be a different outcome, but that would be expensive to find out. lol

I payed 45€ for 90 minutes in spain in the region of figueres with a very good local coach. 70€ seems quite expensive.

I live in Valencia. My coach charges 25€ per hour and is one of the best in Valencia (still competes). 1050€ is laughably expensive for the region. You can do a 5 day all inclusive and all day padel for 1050€.

u/Rackelhahn891w ago

u/Jaded_Ad62041w ago

Costa Calvià Padel Club. the training was also very good and intensive. but i have checked my mail. the first training was 30euros. after that it was 40 euros

u/pkthis1w ago

I payed 50 euros, as an external (no membership) for an hour personal coaching in Spain (Fuengirola). Persons with membership could buy a private session for 40 euros. So it seems a lot as many already mentioned.
