Paramaribo - Post Report Question and Answers
What kinds of gyms or other sports/workout facilities are available? Are they expensive?
There are lots of affordable gyms throughout the city, however the moisture seems to rust most of the equipment. The embassy, hotels, and social clubs tend to have better quality fitness equipment. The local gyms are cheap but much of the equipment is deteriorating. There are a few public parks that have workout facilities but they are not up to US standards. - Apr 2022
The Embassy has a very nice gym and pool. There are tons of local gyms that offer classes like CrossFit or yoga at very cheap rates. They'll usually teach in English if they know you don't speak Dutch. - Feb 2020
There are traditional gyms and CrossFit gyms. There are a few sports clubs which have tennis and swimming. The Embassy has a nice gym and pool. There is a golf course here as well. I've heard the sports clubs are expensive. We tried one gym and it was no more expensive than the US. The Embassy facilities are free - and new. - Jun 2017

2 main ones, The Dolphin and Oase. I think you need a referral and they might be around US$50-75/month. I may be way off on that estimate. - Dec 2014
There are a couple different facilities with gyms and pools, but they weren't cheap so we didn't do it. Many others did and while not the same as American gyms, they still seemed nice. - Jul 2014
