Where can you go in Doha
to keep fit in a friendly and
sociable atmosphere?
Qatar Sport has the answers…
THERE IS growing demand from people
living in Doha, nationals as well as
expatriates, for spaces where they can
work out, keep fit and relax.
While most residential compounds and
apartments blocks in the capital have their
own basic gym facilities on site, for a more
sociable and inspiring experience - with
access to state-of-the-art equipment and
professional instruction - Doha offers a
wealth of opportunities.
But knowing where to go in Doha’s
fast-changing cityscape requires a little
local knowledge, which is where Qatar
Sport can help.
From the government funded ‘Aspire
Active’ which offers membership against
symbolic monthly fees to the city’s elegant
5-Star hotels, there are numerous places to
practice sport or work out in style.
Internationally known gyms, such as
Fitness First located in the City Centre
Mall, have opened branches in the city,
while Doha has many private clubs of
varying styles and sizes, catering for men
and women alike.
At the top end of the scale is the
luxurious Al Dana Club situated inside the
Khalifa International Complex for Tennis
and Squash. With its family orientated
facilities, Al Dana is one of the most
sought-after fitness and relaxation centres
in Qatar and is especially popular with
women. Similarly, the Al Thuraya Ladies
Club caters for Doha’s women residents
who want to keep healthy and active.
Qatar Sport has chosen four unique
activity centres that together offer
something for everyone with an interest
in keeping fit: Boot Camp Qatar, the
Sheraton Health & Recreation Club, Al
Dana Club and Aspire Active.
