Chisinau - Post Report Question and Answers

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

Embassy has a small gym. Cheapest local gym costs about $40/month. The nice gyms are over $100/month. The parks all have well used public workout structures. - Sep 2023


Lots, as there's a well developed workout culture here. Both price and quality vary a lot, from little local weightlifting places to large western-style fitness centers with Nautilus machines and treadmills. There are a couple of large parks just outside the center (Valea Morilor and Valea Rosilor) that are good for running and biking. Bicycle culture is catching on in Chisinau but not all drivers are comfortable with cyclists yet, so wear a helmet and stay alert. - Apr 2019
