Kuala Lumpur - Post Report Question and Answers

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

Lots of gyms. - May 2022


Lots. Comparable to the U.S. - Aug 2018


There are gyms near to the embassy where some folks sign up for monthly memberships. These have all of the facilities you'd expect back home and host classes throughout the week (step, spin, kickboxing, pilates, etc). Most apartment buildings have on-site gyms with basic cardio and weight equipment, and there are a few fitness classes taught at the embassy. - May 2018


Most apartment buildings have gyms and pools. - Apr 2017


Most apartment buildings have a gym and a pool. There are running trails through KLCC park too. They can be busy, but it's a pretty place to run/walk. Sometimes there are fitness classes in the park, and there are multiple places to go for yoga or fitness classes in gyms. We sometimes have people offer yoga classes or personal training in our apartment gym. - Apr 2017
