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

The compound has a gym and also a basketball court, tennis courts and pool. I don't know of anyone who used a gym outside of the compound. - Nov 2020


Compound gym is in a basement and has poor airflow and smells bad but it’s free! Some people treat the equipment with disrespect: for example they work out barefoot (eww!) or don’t clean their machines after use. - Mar 2019

There are gyms. I get the impression that costs are similar to the US. You may need to cover tattoos in order to work out. - Mar 2018


Decent gym on compound. - Mar 2017
