There are some gym chains, which are not that cheap. A PT will be about 40 tnd for an hour. Lots of pools although not that many big lap pools; the US embassy has one and a gym. Aqua-jogging is popular, there are thriving running and triathlon clubs, and lots of football and tennis clubs. Yoga studios. Horse riding is very reasonable. Lots of people get paddle boards or kayaks. Tunisians love hiking and camping and there are numerous societies and clubs. There is also a bouldering centre that have roped climbing routes just outside Tunis. - Jun 2022
