Why not? I know of a gym in the Hadaba area of Sharm,its in El Khazan St,you could always pay them a visit to see what the ins and outs of setting up are.

I think most hotels have gyms there, what is the new thing you gonna offer??or shall you open it in a hotel or a village. If you gonna open it for the locals , is there enough population out of which a percentage will be interested??

Yes Sam our idea is to open this for locals, so not in a hotel or village but search for a place where we can arrange n provide for some aerobic,step n other courses.We really don't know if locals used to go to gym, that's why we ask here about yr comment.
If u have any suggestion, please don't hesitate to let us know.
Thank u

I know someone in Hurghada who does body building and goes to the gym here everyday. I am sure he might be able to advise you. His name is Hammada. Give him a call on 0124501694

Hi,
He doesn't have an e-mail address, but maybe you could text him. He is living here in Hurghada married to an English friend of mine - he is a very helpful guy and you can trust him!

Ann-Lill, we can take yr offer into good consideration but we need time to arrange everything. Anyway we'll keep u informed.
Also some of our friends r specialized in massage n asked for this opportunity.

Thank u again.

Gyms dont last very long, a couple of years and they are gone. Locals do not as a rule have the money for such luxuries, and tourists are not interested in attending gyms used by locals. They prefer to use the ones in the hotels, despite the possible higher cost. But good luck anyway even if you do only end up as a statistic. [Eek!]
