I live in KCA as well and need to join a gym for summer. I just phoned Al Forsan about gym membership and was told it is Dhs5,000 for 3 months! That is crazy expensive considering it just includes gym membership and pool use. I think I might join Aloft or Park Rotana who are a lot cheaper and only 10-15 mins drive from KCA. very expensive, just as i thought it would be. go and look at the yas hotels they will do a much better deal and from kca you can go through the new tunnel so not that far away.

There will be a gym opening soon within Al Raha Gardens, not sure of price. Loads of deals coming up over on Yas: 50% off, free use of the pool during the week (various hotels). but i suspect gym at raha gardens is solely for residents.

To use the AD golf club gym you have to get the country club membership which gives you access to the pool etc., it is an annual fee but they will pro rata it from the date you join. There was a special rate for 'gym' only membership for April so you can check with them if it is still valid? I was a member there but did not renew when my membership expired as it is quite expensive and it was cool enough outside to run. Now it is too hot so have joined the Crowne Plaza Yas 1,500AED for 3 months for just me and then I pay a guest fee to take my husband and kids when they want to use the pool at the weekend.
