   Corniche is about 900KD for an entire year. I think health clubs in Kuwait are way over priced… that’s probably why we have so many fat, unhealthy citizens! LOWER THE PRICES.

   Great but I dont see the Corniche health club. I’ve been there recently and the price for a couple is 900kd a year. I dont know the prices of the singles

3. 3. AMQ | July 15th, 2008 at 1:54 pm

   prices are wack…i payed about a $250 initiation fee and i pay about 30 bucks a month for my gym. which is better than any gym in kuwait. . . or fitness club or whatever and guess what.. ..i can go to any club nationwide for no extra cost. ..
   the way business is run in kuwait is irritating. . .its all expensive for nothing. . ..

   What about “thanks Desert Girl ”

   Huh :p

5. 5. ilsul6ana | July 15th, 2008 at 2:03 pm

   its true they are overpriced!~ The idea of CURVES gym for women was smart! It was 100 kd for 3 months, and ur workout is 20 minutes , 3 times a week. It was effective too! They say that there is a new mens health club called CORE FITNESS with the same concept in Bneid il Gar, also 20 minute sessions and its 2 times a week, Or i think it depends on what you need. If its 2 times a week its 70 Kd. Theres also a waiting list for Core fitness!

   Sea club is on the list, it is 104KD an individual and it is the cheapest but they do not have a gym. Corniche is the most expensive, I checked with them a couple of months ago and it was KD900 a couple per year.

7. 7. meshoooo | July 15th, 2008 at 2:21 pm

12. 12. Sushi | July 15th, 2008 at 5:21 pm

    700 for corniche club (single females) but I heard their prices are up unless you initially started with that price, you get to pay that everytime you renew regardless of raising prices or so I’ve heard.

13. 13. Shepo | July 15th, 2008 at 7:10 pm

    Al Corniche - get 13 months for the price of 12…for a couples price of 900KD. Single male 750. Kids 75. But the ‘premier’ part is 1300 KD per couple per year. Got the best facilities though

14. 14. Khaled | July 15th, 2008 at 7:15 pm

    Ras Asalmiya is 150KD for 15 months, what I liked about it is that they open 24 hours.

15. 15. Zeeez | July 15th, 2008 at 7:58 pm

    Mark, the list is missing a lot a lot of men gyms.

16. 16. fan | July 15th, 2008 at 8:34 pm

    Yes, health clubs in Kuwait like the Corniche are expensive, but I’m happy about that. It keeps the riff-raff out. The last thing you want is for the place you go to unwind, work out, and relax by the pool to be full of the types of scuzzy people you see in Marina Mall and the Avenues, which is what would happen if their memberships were priced lower. Spend a day at the Corniche and then a day at the Shaab Sea Club next door and you’ll understand exactly what I mean.

    Aahh…how I wish we could return to the days of Nadi Al-Ghazal!

17. 17. skyline | July 15th, 2008 at 9:03 pm

    any one could feed us about the mode of payments !

18. 18. jarrah al-failkawy | July 15th, 2008 at 11:00 pm

    and what did they do they kicked me out and the didnt even give me a reason why and the members are also rif raff

19. 19. A&B | July 16th, 2008 at 7:16 am

    A major list wouldn’t be without Platinum and Oxygen. The list has “Done by a woman” written all over it.

20. 20. Zeeez | July 16th, 2008 at 7:56 am

    A&B you are absolutely right.

23. 23. Zack | July 16th, 2008 at 9:21 am

    I hate men only gyms…They have the feel of a prison with everyone on steroids trying to out-do each other. Far from where I want to be if I want to relax! Give me hotel gyms / mixed gyms any day…

24. 24. Zack | July 16th, 2008 at 9:30 am

    Platinum Salmiya and the ppl that go there gives me the creaps…Pity, coz its in a prime city location and the nearest one to me.

25. 25. Mark | July 16th, 2008 at 9:31 am

    when i remember nadi al ghazal i remember 2 things. the trampoline and how this little kid once fell of the water slide and hit his head on the floor. i think he ended up dying.

26. 26. okra | July 16th, 2008 at 10:27 am

    What is the best gym in Kuwait?

27. 27. Desert Girl | July 16th, 2008 at 12:11 pm

    I wrote the list for work and provided it as a courtesy to our employees. It was researched by my male assistant for your information. If anyone has any other information on gyms - specifically on mens gyms - please forward them to me at amerab@gmail.com.

    I used to go to a small place called “Shape” close to my home - until my friend/fellow member got herpes on her STOMACH from laying on the bench in the sauna room. It closed years ago and they have demolished the building.

    One thing that hasn’t been mentioned anywhere is that anyone considering a gym here should check out their cleaning schedules/policies.

28. 28. Desert Girl | July 16th, 2008 at 12:17 pm

    Oh, THANKS MARK for posting these on your site. I’m sure it even helped the naysayers. :)

29. 29. Musa'ad Haider | July 16th, 2008 at 2:39 pm

    Its such a shame. Nautilus was 225/year a year ago and 275/year three months ago. Gym prices are rising like crazy here for no obvious reason. And BTW Nautilus throw in free four months for new members so its 325/16 months.

    Thanks desert girl. I was looking for such info like crazy a year ago. If someone has pricing info about Oxygen, pls send to the address given above.

30. 30. Ds | July 16th, 2008 at 4:49 pm

    You should try the Shark gym which is located next to Ramada in Riggae..they got an offer of 45kd for 3 n a half months..it pretty neat..go check it out ..

31. 31. fan | July 16th, 2008 at 6:44 pm

    zed, of course I know Nadi Al-Ghazal! :) That was Kuwait back in its glory years. But despite my longing for the Ghazal days, I actually don’t think it should ever reopen because, seeing what Kuwait has turned into, it could NEVER go back to how it used to be and FEEL, and it would just be too depressing.

    *sigh*

32. 32. Haykal | July 17th, 2008 at 12:45 am

    You reminded me of the old days in Nadi Al Ghazal, I miss the parrot at the entrance and miss skiing and jumping of the jetty. I also miss the cinema :) that was the best :) every Friday afternoon when we are done swimming and jumping around and need a break. Those day will never come back.

33. 33. A&B | July 17th, 2008 at 7:10 am

    Tell your assistant he’s gay.

34. 34. HG | July 17th, 2008 at 7:17 pm

    I agree, gym’s in Kuwait are on the rise! Prices are soaring too! I’ve always had a problem with gyms like Oxygen and Platinum, za7ma, hailag, no captains there for help! Plus, Platinum’s getting kinda dirty and Oxygen is breaking down! I’ve recently joined Core Fitness, thought at first it was a rip-off. 20 minutes twice a week? Pretty skeptical to say the least! Well, I joined, package included 7-weeks of fat-loss training twice a week, a specified diet, body fat measurements and percentages, was assigned a trainer and off I went.

    Long story short, 5 weeks in and I’ve lost 9kg!

35. 35. okra | July 21st, 2008 at 8:38 am

    HG pardon my ignorance,, where is Core Fitness?

36. 36. Kapeesh | July 21st, 2008 at 11:06 am

    Corniche is about 900KD for an entire year. I think health clubs in Kuwait are way over priced… that’s probably why we have so many fat, unhealthy citizens! LOWER THE PRICES.

    hey IRISE

    DUDE!!!!! u have no idea how lazy ppl r in kuwait. its not the MONEYYY

41. 41. mo | July 28th, 2008 at 8:22 am

    P.s
    food is the kuwaiti drug of choice.

42. 42. Z | July 29th, 2008 at 4:38 am

    I’m not sure about the yearly membership prices but Oxygen is 40KD/month and Platinum (Kaifan) is 50KD/month. Biggest problems with Oxygen is that it’s packed since the training areas are smaller than Platinum’s and the parking is annoying, and most of all; you feel like you’re a test subject with all the staring. On the other hand, it does offer better classes and the trainers are just great.

43. 43. KLD | August 8th, 2008 at 2:59 pm

    i think expinsive clubs got nice benifits like the calm and peace atmosphere , parking and nice treatment that you won’t find in clubs like Oxygen and Platinum even if they are better in some equipment !

44. 44. rocky | September 13th, 2008 at 2:31 pm
