Found a Gym in Luanda

Today I decided to find a place to cycle a bit and I went Gym shopping.  First stop was Hotel Tropico's gym, which apparently is the best in town, but as such, they were taking the piss with the price, charging $50USD per session!  They are out of their mind!

I got back in my car and I headed to Fitness Luanda, which I had attended about 7 years go! They had nice facilities and were affordable ad $15 per session, but most importantly, they had 2 spinning bikes in the gym area for clients to use! GREAT!  They also have 3 spinning classes every day so my lack of cycling here in Luanda has now been resolved! All I need now is to find a pool!

  2. Hahahaha... if only I had the time Kurt! My life here in Angola is pretty hectic with 4/5 meetings per day so I really only have the evenings to train. Maybe on Saturday I will do a three-a-day! Take care man, and keep those miles coming.

  5. Hi Miguel, any luck on the pools. I will be there next year on lots of business trips and I am looking for the best option to swim. 25M pool is ideal. I checked most of the hotels have short pools.

  6. Hi Tswitala, you need to check out Alvalade Pools (Piscinas do Alvalade). You can ask anyone where it is and they will be ablt to tell you, its a nice aquatics center with a 50m pool with about 8 lanes, and it is almost always empty. You need to pay for a membership OR you can negotiate to pay as you go, but you must pay a number of sessions in advance. Good luck. What line of business are you in?
