Bucharest - Post Report Question and Answers
What kinds of gyms or other sports/workout facilities are available? Are they expensive?
Several private gym options but way overpriced for value. One of the nicest gyms (World Class Fitness) costs 150 Euros/month which includes classes. Many of their clubs have pools, too. The embassy has a small gym and a large shallow pool. I recall seeing a boxing gym downtown but didn't go inside. Two of the more popular places are worldclass.ro and stejariicountryclub.ro. - Jun 2023
There are many gyms and yoga studios. I don't know about CrossFit or climbing. One of the nicest gyms (World Class Fitness) costs about 1,000 euros for the year, which comes with all classes included, from yoga to Spinning. Many of their clubs have pools, too. The embassy has a small gym and a large pool that's better for playing than swimming laps because it's extremely shallow. - Mar 2019

Yes, they are private and very expensive but have anything you could possibly want: yoga, pilates, weights, cross fit, swimming pools, and the higher end ones will likely have English speaking staff. I couldn't tell you more than that, but check out the more popular places: worldclass.ro, verticalspirit.ro, atlantisfitness.ro, stejariicountryclub.ro, and pescariusports.ro. - Feb 2014
