IV Member # 16101	posted Hi, Does anyone know of a good (preferably Cheap) Gym in Zamalek? Somewhere near the AUC facilities?..
GM44 Member # 13971	posted AUC is not on Zamalek
IV Member # 16101	posted Well.. There is an AUC Bookstore, clinic etc.. in Zamalek.. That's all. But either way, Any Gyms in Zamalek?.. I think there might be one of AUCs gyms in Zamalek.. Is there?
Dzosser Member # 9572	posted Yeah there's one in Yamama centre, and that's close to AUC hostel.
IV Member # 16101	posted Thanks?.. Do you know how much it costs?
IV Member # 16101	posted Oh.. the FDA Fitness center is in Yamama.. Sounds expensive.. Also, doesn't the AUC have a gym in Zamalek?
IV Member # 16101	posted I mean, 'does' it have a gym in Zamalek.
Dzosser Member # 9572	posted Sorry I've no clue ?

IV Member # 16101	posted @Tigerlily.. Yeah,.. That's the FDA Fitness Center.. Their site doesn't have any pricing/membership info. .and nobody is responding when I try phone/email.. .. An email sent to them comes back as undeliverable

An email sent to them comes back as undeliverable Look, I just called them up all the way from Germany!! You need to add a 2 before you dial the other seven digits 7377500. I got through!! Good luck and happy work out if this gym is appealing to you. ~ TL
IV Member # 16101	posted sigh .. Being too lazy... as usual. I only emailed them and lied (or stated incorrectly) that I phoned them as well. I think I'll call them sooner or later.. with a pen and a pad. Called from Germany?. If it was free (cheap) what did you use? Also, Thanks.. Hope they aren't too expensive.. for a month Membership.
JinJin Member # 14821	posted Ok, I need a gym in Zamalek also. I just called FDA gym in Yamama Center (2737 7500). Membership: 6 months - 3,200 12 months - 4,200 The membership price includes initial fitness and fat tests and you have full use of the gym and all aerobic classes. (open 8am - 12 midnight). The Marriott Gym (2735 8888) open 24 hours **Discount for embassy staff Membership: 3 months - 2,860 6 months - 4,180 12 months - 6,050 Includes use of gym, sauna, pool, tennis courts. No aerobics.
IV Member # 16101	posted Hey.. Thanks JinJin.. Did they say anything about a month membership? Also, the FDA gym has so many different kinds of memberships.. Do you know what is the least costly (read as: I am cheap) membership type they have? Man. The Marriot is really expensive.. Probably won't go in there... Are there walk-ins possible?

These prices are astronomical. That's more than I pay here!
IV Member # 16101	posted Man.. both the FDA and the Marriot Hotel are really expensive.. Anyone know how much a 1 month membership will cost? Also, I know that the AUC has a gym in Zamalek. Does anyone know how much it would cost to use it? If it's open to non-students?
mkhasen Member # 15388	posted I live in Zamalek too. The gym in Yamama center is piece of **** and they charge almost $100 per month unless you subscribe for entire year. Stupid policy. Mariot Hotel's gym is small and they also charge over $100 per month. I would say there are no other gyms in Zamalek.
IV Member # 16101	posted Then..mkhasen.. Is there one that you go to?.. Off Zamalek, but at least close to it, so that taking the taxi there a few time a week and the membership cost less than whatever it is at Yamama or Marriot.
IV Member # 16101	posted Also, have you tried to see if AUC (if it has a gym in Zamalek) allows non-students access to its gym?
IV Member # 16101	posted Man, The prices for FDA are really expensive.. like JinJin said.. I found a monthly rate for it and it was 800 LE. Absurd. I wonder what the daily entrance prices are for the Marriot Hotel Gym.. or if the Gezira Sporting club has a Gym...Anyone know? Also, JinJin and Mkhasen, What gyms do you guys go to? Or which ones have you found out are NOT worth going to? I just need a place with a dumbbells,barbells and pull up bars.. maybe a few machines. I don't need a full gym and I don't want to buy the stuff as I'll be working out in Zamalek for only a month....
Shanta Qadeama Member # 9889	posted Gyms and sports clubs in Cairo are generally absolutely extortionately expensive - more expensive than the UK in many cases. I doubt very much you would be able to use Gezira Sporting club - the membership there is something like 150000LE to keep the riffraff out! (and no, I'm not exaggeratingly adding 000 to the end of that number!) I often see signs high up on blocks of flats for gyms so start scanning the walls - you're more likely to find affordable gyms that way I think.
IV Member # 16101	posted Hey,.. Thanks.. I guess I'll try that.. Or maybe a small local gym.. On the other hand, I could do a lot more running now.....
IV Member # 16101	posted No luck... yet... Need to know where to look to find 'gym' in arabic.. How do you say 'gymnasium' or 'exercise' etc.. in Arabic?
