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

There are lots of gyms. Not sure about the prices. - Sep 2019


Gyms are available at a variety of price points. Some of them keep odd hours by American standards (e.g. your membership allows you to work out from 0700-1300 only). Other gyms are open 24/7. Plenty of parks for running, walking, and outdoor fitness classes. - Jun 2019


There is a variety. We belong to a fairly expensive one, but they have a "morning" or "evening" option which makes it more affordable - but it is a SUPER nice gym - one of the nicest we have been members of - with top quality employees, fantastic classes, a pool, spa, etc. - Mar 2017


The embassy doesn't have any workout facilities. There are local gyms but they are pretty expensive. - Apr 2012


Yes. - Nov 2011


Yes, but a bit expensive. There is one close to the Embassy Reebok which is good but very expensive (http://www.reebokclub.com/FitnessActividadesMadrid.aspx) but you can take yoga classes some very innovative such as aerial yoga, wall yoga and pilates, etc. However, you will need to have at least a moderate level of spanish. - Oct 2011
