What kinds of gyms or other sports/workout facilities are available? Are they expensive?
There are a number of parks where people regularly go to run or bike. In our neighborhood, there is a drought of nearby gyms or workout studios, unfortunately. It's hard to run in the neighborhood due to bad roads/sidewalks. Note that the voltage here is 110 like the US, so bring your treadmill, etc if you have the weight available. - Jul 2023
The embassy has a small gym. There are also some other gyms close by, including a couple that do Cross-Fit. They had similar prices to what you would pay for in the US. - Jul 2023
The Embassy has a small gym for a very low annual fee. There are gyms, crossfit, yoga studios, personal trainers, etc. I don't really know how much those facilities tend to cost but it's much less expensive than in the US. Personal trainers, massage therapists, etc are very affordable and high quality. - Jul 2019
The embassy has a gym, volleyball courts and a soccer field. Some embassy staff run at parks on the weekend. Running races are plentiful here (but don't expect to match you times at sea level). Climbing wall gyms for kids and adults. Hiking is everywhere! For kids there are all lots of parks with good playground equipment, athletics through the school, swimming, soccer, gymnastics classes, etc. - Jul 2018
The embassy has an OK gym and people run boot camps every once in awhile. - Mar 2017
There are plenty and all varieties but not sure of the cost. With so many amazingly beautiful volcanoes to hike I am not sure why anyone would use the gyms. - Sep 2016
Gyms are everywhere, with prices ranging from $25 to $200 a month. Most decent gyms will cost about $80 a month, pretty pricey. - Aug 2015
Yes, at the Embassy and out on town. Relatively cheap... But walking up a flight of stairs is more than enough to stay in shape in the first month. - Aug 2014
They're are a few, but they're expensive. - Jul 2012
Yes, but they are expensive. I go to a pool at the public high school near me, but even that is $5 a visit. There's a Curves, which is about $35 a month (if you pay for a year in advance, I think). Then there is a nicer American-style gym for $50 a month (they struck a deal with several Americans). - Jan 2011
