Very expensive. I found the best value is a boot camp that meets daily at a local park. It includes child care. Otherwise a gym membership without child care is US$100 or more per month. Child care is usually not available or costs extra. - May 2016


There is a gym at the embassy but it's pretty small. Given that we're building a new embassy, I don't see them putting too much into this one.
