Bridgetown - Post Report Question and Answers

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

Gyms are expensive and smaller/more basic than what you’ll find in US (memberships several hundred dollars per month). The Embassy does have an adequate gym that’s free for staff and eligible family members to use. - Aug 2019


There is an adequate gym at the embassy. Surfside gym is right across the street from the embassy. It is very nice and costs about 1000 USD for a yearly membership. The membership includes a variety of classes. A boxing club just opened under Surfside. Other folks at the embassy belong to a CrossFit club, dance studio, gymnastics studio, and Pilates studio. There are lots of options, you just have to be willing to explore. - May 2018
