I will be moving to Colombo for good and hope to join a gym where i can use the treadmill, spin, join an aerobic class etc. When i was in Colombo some weeks back, i observed that the gyms (including hotel ones) seem to be male-dominated. Wondering if there are any gyms around with more female members to exercise and stretch without feeling too self-conscious. Many thanks!

btw, found a very affordable gym in Colombo 07. the rates are at least 2.5 times lower than in other gyms and the facilities are nice and modern. it's Technogym at the Olympic House, on Independence Avenue, 100/F. friendly personnel, recommended!
