What kinds of gyms or other sports/workout facilities are available? Are they expensive?
There are an increasing number of gyms and sports in Lomé. There is a sports club in the La Caisse neighborhood and many smaller fitness gyms dotted around. It's easy to find personal trainers who can come to the house. And there are tons of sports and coaches for things including tennis, swimming, boxing, padel, squash, horse riding, acrobatic gymnastics, zumba, Karate, capoeira, roller blading, skateboarding, soccer, basketball etc. On average it costs between 3.000-10.000 CFA depending on the sport, session, and coach. - Aug 2025
There are a few gyms available (no air conditioning) and it is not expensive. You can get a personal trainer pretty cheap here. You can get any coach here very cheap. It is a good place to improve your golf game. - Mar 2019
