Guayaquil - Post Report Question and Answers

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

On the compound we have a great gym, tennis and pickleball courts, basketball court (free). In our housing communities we have amenities as well (free). Running, kayaking and the local long bike path are quite popular (free). Other gyms/yoga studios/karate are available too for a cost. I am told they are not cheap but affordable. - Aug 2022


There's a nice gym at the Consulate. - Jun 2022


There's a small but decent Consulate gym. Aside from that there aren't many options. A couple mediocre Crossfit gyms and yoga studios, but you'll have to drive to them in other parts of town. Some people use home gyms. - Oct 2020
