There are gyms for women in Saudi Arabia, but the options are less compared to men. All the Hotel sports clubs in Saudi Arabia are open exclusive to men. Members are offered different time periods ranging from a period of 1 month to 1 year. As the registration charges keep fluctuating, it’s wise to check with the respective hotel regarding the current rate and special offers before making a decision.
