Tijuana - Post Report Question and Answers
What kinds of gyms or other sports/workout facilities are available? Are they expensive?
Very small gym at the Consulate gets crowded in afternoons. Gyms in town are crowded and cost between $700-1500 USD per year, but they are available. There is a park near the Consulate with a good running track, open 6am-6pm, but otherwise this is not a good post for runners or cyclists due to traffic, hills, and rubble on sidewalks. On the weekends, people tend to cross into San Diego for hiking and bike riding. You cannot ride, walk, or run to work. - Oct 2024
My apartment building had a small gym at the top of the building which was adequate for our needs, and the consulate has a gym of course. I do not know of anyone who had a membership to an outside gym, but I think the prices are comparable to the US without being comparable in quality. - Apr 2023
Gyms like Total Fitness and World Gym are available but very expensive ($50+ per month). Smaller outfits have spin, barre, yoga, kickboxing, martial arts, etc. and are available for less and $10 per class or less if you buy a package of classes. - Nov 2017
