Valletta - Post Report Question and Answers

What kinds of gyms or other sports/workout facilities are available? Are they expensive?

I used a personal training gym that was on the high end for cost, at approximately $350/month. Gyms are generally less than that and widely available, but I wanted one-on-one personal trainers. There is also a small gym and a crossfit area in a warehouse on the embassy compound; both of these are free to the embassy community. The Marines have their own separate gym that is not open to the embassy staff, but at times the gunny or one/some of the marines may open up the gym and host fitness classes for the community. Beyond gyms, there are many athletic activities available to people living in Malta. From martial arts and dance studios to diving and swimming and running clubs, you can find a wide range of activities to pursue. - May 2023
