Shanghai - Post Report Question and Answers
What kinds of gyms or other sports/workout facilities are available? Are they expensive?
Gyms are expensive but available. Orange theory is popular. I just used the gym at the apartment which was, by all intents, amazing. Plus there was an indoor-outdoor pool available. - Nov 2020
Expect western prices and not always western service/cleanliness. - Oct 2016
Yes. Expensive. Only western wannabes or spoiled rich people use those kinds of facilities. Real estate is very expensive. - Dec 2014
Lots and lots of gyms, though they can be a bit pricey. I just do yoga and pilates on my own and go jogging. There are running clubs you can join for free (mostly expats), and the ubiquitous dancing grannies in the parks around the city are quite enthusiastic if you join in their line dancing. - Aug 2014
Yes, but they are quite expensive. - Aug 2011
Everywhere, with many international chains present in Shanghai too. In addition, there are multiple local options available in every neighborhood. - Dec 2010

Yes. Decent ones free at the housing compounds, and private ones too if you want to go with a big gym. - Feb 2009
