They are available, and so are personal trainers who will come to your residence; I don't use them. Gated communities often have their own gyms and swimming pools for exercise as well, often included with residency. Some require additional membership fees, though. The gym in my community has huge sliding glass doors and excellent air circulation. - Oct 2022
Lots of gyms, but yes, they're a bit pricy. And driving and parking is such a hassle here that I don't think it's worth going to one if you can't walk to it. - Oct 2022
There is Orange Theory here which is a bit pricey compared to U.S. prices. However, if you are already a member in the U.S. you can continue using it here. There is one in Zone 15 and Zone 10 both very nice and well equipped. There is also franchise called Fitness One they provide a full gym, with saunas/pool/tanning beds/ and massage services for $80 a month. Also, a bit pricey compared to what you can find in the U.S. but we still use them. - Jul 2021

Most people who live in apartments have access to gyms in their buildings. There are also public gyms - I think Futeca is the nicest - and a surprisingly active running culture that organizes group training runs, weekly races all over the country, etc. You can also take tennis classes from internationally competitive players for US$10-15/lesson. - Jun 2015

Futeca Sport in Zone 14. Scandinavian Gyms are pretty good, too. Since there is not a lot going on in the city, going to the gym is one of the more interesting things to do. - May 2010
