gym in dubai Mar 27, 2006
I went to gym last weekend. the one in city center ( sofitel hotel). It was not bad. they got gym, open swimming poor (warm water on the top of building), small sauna, shower place...
so I am planing to go there at least once a week. also heard one in crown plaza, it's much cheap than sofitel hotel one. but i don't how is it. have you been there? or do you know any good gym in dubai?

Wouldn't it be cheaper to join a place on an annual basis? Cheaper options would be Dubai Country Club and say Al Nasir Leisureland- sorry no idea of what their facilities are like, but if you are serious about a workout flashy surroundings won't be a top priority I would imagine.

for membership must be cheaper, i think. but I might go only like once a week. coz feels tired after work. :). I don't wanna get membership.
you are right, If I am serious about a workout. i can make it anywhere. but gym and swimming is much better for me. coz i love swimming.

thanks

I'm a memver of Sofitel, I like it plus 6 months membership is just half the annual, they don't charge more than half for that if you get what I mean.

It's 1,200 for 6 months, I do that and then just renew for another 6.

That's when I can be bothered to actually get off my bum and go, which is why it's going flat!

For the membership: AED3,000 for annual, and AED1,500 for half of annual, they told that last time. it's just on my way from office to home. it sounds good for me.

I didn't really talk about the fairness in gender. but It always happen in dubai.
I don't know why for gym girls is cheaper than guys. they do the same things and use the same facilities.

The girls probably get paid less for doing the same job as a guy!! So in a roundabout way it's fair!! :P

I don't think girls get paid less than us. maybe girls need more $$ to buy nice clothes... :twisted:

True- a good tweed skirt, tights and birkenstocks can set you back quite a bit! :lol:

"dhs250 for one time?"
It is the monthly fee, but they have very good set of machines.

"for membership must be cheaper, i think. but I might go only like once a week. coz feels tired after work. . I don't wanna get membership.

You can try Gold's Gym, which will cost you 150 per month. I don't prefer Gold's gym and it doesn't have swimming.

If you want a true weights gym the one on the corner of defence round about is the best but mainly men go there cheap and good set up

My fashion sense is unique, Sniper. Truly, tho' women ARE underpaid here when they are a spouse. You'd think because there are no perks involved ie medical, accomodation etc the pay would be better but that is not the case. I think companies, in general, take advantage.
