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

Out here in the suburbs there are gyms in the clubhouses in our compounds. That being said, they have silly hours (like 9-5), then they change their hours, but you don't know about it, then it is closed for some reason. Ah China.

Maybe it's why we chose this career path in the first place. - Nov 2013
