If there’s one thing you won’t have trouble finding, it’s a gym in Amman. There are gyms in basically every neighborhood, so whether you’re looking for a gym near work or your house, you’ll have no issue.
For me, the most important thing about joining a gym is making sure it’s easy to get to, because if I have to sit through Amman traffic to go work out, then I will always choose the more convenient option – staying at home.
Below is a list of the gyms I have tried/ will try in and around the Dabouq and Abdoun areas, their location, description, price, and my personal rating of their facilities.
