I am living off of Yan-Ping Rd. and have been looking for a gym in a housing complex. All the good gyms are a taxi ride away so I am looking for something I can walk to. Does anyone know of any gyms near Yan-Ping besides One Park and Da An Garden? Thanks in advance |

You can walk to Fitness First on Changshou Lu near Jiaozhou Lu. A short ten minute walk...not a taxi ride |

Thanks ShanghaiThunder. I knew there was something nearby but just couldn't get specific info. That is even better than gym in housing complex. I am thrilled to know it is 5 min. walk from me. |

I think you guys forgot about MOB, it's great!!! the place is really modern and clean. They offer lots of classes (sometimes special classes such as stripping).
oh, last time I was there, there were some hot frenchies there as well 
it's on Beijing xi lu by that service apartment Lippo or whatever it's called. |

Hey Everyone!!
I have just recently arrived in Shanghai from Australia. I am only here for 2 months for work but I am wanting to sign up to a gym. I haven't had a chance to orientate myself or have a good look around yet, but I am in Lu Wan and looking for a gym that is walking distance or a short cab ride from here. I need a gym that offers a monthly membership and is reasonably priced. If anyone could help me out that would be great =D
Thanks Heaps!! |

One Wellness is on Yan Ping Lu and so there will be no taxi ride (time is money ?)this place is the cleanest and most modern i have seen in Shanghai. They are changing machines that look brand new for even newer more advanced models, you can not say that in Shanghai. It may be more pricy but they have a deal 2500 for 4 months summer memebrship with rivera events. They have a garden for sunbathing and drinking smoothies from their cafe. COOL |

Oh, you created a topic already, isn't it enough, don't think you have to spam all of the gym related topics. |

The only one near where we live that we have found is 500 rmb a month. Does anyone know of a cheaper one near Chongqing Nan Lu and Xujiahui Lu? |

Just visited One Wellness and I have to say that I did not understand the hype about it. Yes it's clean. Yes they have great machines. But it's tiny so they try to put as many machines as they can into the small space. You can literally shake hands with the guy running next to you.
I like Fitness First though again it's a small space and no swimming pool.
Will's Gym are ok. They offer a 6 month membership for 1300rmb. The one on Luban road has a swimmimg pool.
Shanghai Boot Camp. Been willing to join for ages - as it's walking distance from home - but can never get myself out of bed early enough. |

WILL's is terrible! At least based on my experience at the Tianshan branch on Fuquan Rd.
First of all, the sales guy told me a bunch of outright lies when we signed up. Like how I could use the swimming pool all year round. That there was a full-time Indian teacher doing the yoga classes (nope, only local Chinese). Later on I couldn't find him, hopefully he was fired...
Yeah, the swim cap rule was annoying, especially because most locals ignored it but the staff still tried to randomly enforce.
The outdoor pool was open for an absurdly short portion of the year. I think it only opened at the end of June after closing in mid-September the previous year.
The desk staff were either rude or non-responsive like the xiaojie in low-class restaurants.
We were told we would receive complimentary towels, which we never did, for a bunch of BS reasons.
If you wanted to reserve a space in the evening yoga or other class, you had to call them within an exact timeframe, like from 6-7 PM, which is inconvenient and stressful because everyone has to call them then. |

Hey,
I've been considering joining Physical in XuJiaHui as I'm really only interested in somewhere with free weights, a few basic machines, and some cardio equipment. Couldn't care less about classes/pools/staff and all that, just want to be in and out and do my thing.
I stopped by the gym the other day just to check it out and found that none of the staff were able to speak English. As my Chinese is conversational at best, I was reluctant to sign anything. I was quoted 1900rmb for one year though, which sounds pretty good to me. I'm wondering if anyone out there could give me some info on this gym because I just couldn't get much info out of these people due to the language barrier. More specifically, what does the membership include? Are there any surprises that I should be aware of? Is the gym typically overcrowded?
Any information you may be able to provide is much appreciated. |
