Hi everybody, I haven't been on the forum for a while now, but have decided to give this another go. I'll be traveling to Odessa this summer and was wondering if anybody knows of a health-fitness club/gym in Odessa near the city center.
i just bring my jogging gear! last time i got up early each morning and it was nice to see some of the place this way and people walking to and fro from work! plenty of time for gym when you back home
Colin....not the brightest of ideas...talk about looking like some tourist??? I sacrifice some of my hometown pleasures to adjust to vacation mode. I have seen 0 persons out jogging entire time I have been in FSU, I would rather try to fit in to environment....NO tennis shoes worn!!!! I was told one time a guy out running early one morning was attacked and beaten and apt key was taken and apt ransacked. Since he was out jogging each morning, he was easily followed to find his apt.Foreigners are pegged to have $$$$.
Early in morning or late at night, if not with a girl, I am very cautious, not saying out after 11pm or speaking english in public. We don't want to become a statistic!!
Yeah, running is a good idea too, although I've never seen anyone jogging in Ukraine or Russia--except for this one real old guy who looked like he was ex-military or something.
i dont know about that beemer where i jogged i never had any problem and numerous Ukranians jogging as well and received nods etc,,when im on holidays I always blend in
joggers can be attacked in any country I would feel as safe in the ukraine as anywhere
googling it i dont see any in the Ukraine ,,but america etc its high lighted I know of numerous such attacks in my own country but its normally women that are targeted.People just use their common sense when away for me I stick to main roads etc avoid parks and the like.
It has a gym (c.v and wieghts, both free and machine) and a swimming pool.
It also runs classes.
The price structure is for a combination of all three types (gym, swim and classes) and also is reduced on type of membership...eg..daily, 2-weekly, monthly or yearly!!!
hope that helps
P.S changing rooms has sauna....good clean facilities
