Work Off that Qingdao Beer Belly with our Best Gyms in Qingdao Guide

Work Off that Qingdao Beer Belly with our Best Gyms in Qingdao Guide

With all the rivers of beer and scores of seafood, it can be pretty easy to put on a few extra pounds whilst living in Qingdao. Despite being a pretty hilly city and having a sea to swim in, most of the locals prefer to shed that extra bit of weight working up a sweat in the comfort of one of the local gyms. If you’re worried that your beer belly or fish-fuelled flab is getting a bit out of hand, then why not join the locals and head down to a nearby gym. As with any city in China however, Qingdao has got more than its fair share of amenities to suit the needs of the health conscious, so if you’re looking to get it in shape or build up some muscle, take a look at our guide to the best gyms in Qingdao.      

1) Quanmin Fitness CenterView In Map
Quanmin Fitness Center (全民健身中心) has got it all: There’s an eight lane swimming pool, outdoor tennis courts, ping pong courts, and of course a well-equipped gym to work up a sweat in. With its large selection of modern facilities, Quanmin can possibly claim to be the most comprehensive fitness center in Qingdao, but we’ll leave that out to the jury. If you feel that all of the above activities are a bit strenuous, you can even enjoy the more relaxing pursuit of swimming – you can subscribe and get a year card, a six month card, or get a card with a limited amount of visits.

Also like Quanmin, 52 Fitness Club (52健身俱乐部) is a well known name across the city with four branches currently in Qingdao. This particular branch is located on the fourth floor of the Liqun Shopping Center (利群购物广场). Although it may not be as big as the others, 52 still offers ample machines and rooms for you to indulge in all kinds of weight-shedding activities. The interior of the club has a reputation for being clean and modern, and thus attracts a lot of people on a daily basis. If you’re interested, the fitness club also offers yoga sessions, Latin dance classes, belly dancing, and boxing among a whole programme of events to get involved in. What are you waiting for!
