What kinds of gyms or other sports/workout facilities are available? Are they expensive?
The large hotels in town have nice gyms people join. The embassy has a small gym. I never joined any but they seem affordable. Lots of people go running outdoors when weather is good along the river (running path) or at the "central park" of Skopje. - Jun 2023
We used home gym equipment which we purchased locally. - Nov 2022
There were lots of gyms! Not so many classes available especially not in English but I joined a very modern gym that had great equipment and a sauna/steam room I could use. Also the Marriot had just opened when I left but honestly I wasn't impressed with their gym and the price was very expensive. The Embassy gym was small but decent and rarely crowded. - Aug 2019

In addition to the Embassy gym, there are embassy employees and EFMs who run their own fitness classes (crossfit and a new yoga class come to mind). There are a few other gyms where people go, but I have not been to them so I can't speak to cost or facility. - Oct 2013
