Jakarta - Post Report Question and Answers
What kinds of gyms or other sports/workout facilities are available? Are they expensive?
The four main apartment buildings in Jakarta all have gyms, not sure about stand-alone homes down in South Jakarta. The Embassy gym is quite small, but they also just built an outdoor gym facility if you can stand the heat (and pollution) out there. - Dec 2023
It depends on the housing assignment; most apartments and complexes have gyms and pools. - May 2023
The Embassy has a small gym. Two housing compounds also have gyms and swimming pools. One apartment building has a gym, too. I'm not sure about the other apartment buildings. - Oct 2021
There are workout facilities all over, same quality or better than USA, for the same prices as East Coast in the USA. - Sep 2020
Most apartment complexes have free gyms on-site. Lots of local gyms are available at about $50 USD per month per person. - Feb 2018
Yes- reasonably priced I found. And very nice. - Jan 2015
All over the place. - Jan 2013
The apartment we live in has a gym, a pool, and tennis courts. Most of the apartments do. I don't think the housing compounds do, though (though I haven't seen all of the housing). This is not really a city where one can run outside. - Jun 2012
most apartments have nice pools and gyms, gold's gym is here too. - Jan 2012
Most apartment buildings have gyms. There are also several chains (Golds, and I think, Fitness First) in Jakarta. The American Club has a gym, tennis courts, and a pool, which people in South Jakarta tend to enjoy. For runners, there is the Jakarta Free Spirit group and several Hash House Harriers kennels. - Jul 2011
Yes, there are fantastic gym and pool facilities. Most of the communities and apartments have their own facilities. The American Club is open to non-embassy members and to members from other countries. - Jul 2011
Gyms are readily available in fancy apartments, hotels, and malls. Some are ridiculously expensive, though others offer discounts to diplomats. - Dec 2010
Yes, there is one in every shopping mall but they are generally more expensive than in Europe and very loud! - Nov 2010
Yes. There are three world-class gym chains that have spread throughout Jakarta:Gold's Gym, Fitness First, and Celebrity Fitness. It only costs approximately $50/month and is a great deal. Gyms are social places too, with social advantages to joining. - Jul 2010
