Did the new gym open in Sosua, or is Golden Park the only one? Also, is the Golden Park east or west of the Trade Winds? - Thanks - D

Golden Park is the only Gym in Sosua. It is located just East of Sosua on the South side of the street. There is a big sign, so you cannot miss it. The price is $700 RD per month.
Phone 571-1185.

Danny, it is west of Tradewinds. It is on the edge of Sosua as you go toward the Tradewinds. Big sign on the corner where you turn to go to gym. You can't miss it. You can also see the gym from the road and it, too, has a big sign on it.

The asking price is RD$700/month if you want to use the treadmills and bikes downstairs plus the machines upstairs. If just the machines, RD$500. First time you go, you pay double as an initiation fee, but just the price quoted above after that.

I'm there most days around 11am.

Is there a daily or weekly rate for those of us who will not be there to take advantage of an entire month?

Danny, if you are coming from Tradewinds, it is a very easy walk. Yesterday I walked from the gym to CeduComp in the plaza between Tradewinds and the Carwash, passing Tradewinds enroute. Short walk from Tradewinds.

Those rate are pretty expensive compared to the monthly rate. 200 pesos a day or 600 pesos a week.

Gym Situation

As an almost daily user of Golden Park Gym, I would like to clear up a few issues about the gym. A new price structure is going into effect. The price is no longer 500 pesos for the weight room upstairs and no longer 700 pesos for both floors (bottom floor containing cardio equipment). The new price is 700 pesos for the weight room upstairs and 1200 pesos for both floors. There is also a 600 peso membership fee for new users. Also guests of the Paraiso De Colon are no longer allowed to use the gym for free. I know for us this is a big increase . Especially since we dont see any new equipment or any other changes to make up for these new charges. If any one out there knows of another gym in the area, please let us all know as we are a little concerned about the new pricing structure.

Judy told me the gym would be open tomorrow, Friday, and that she would know tomorrow if it will be open on Monday. But tomorrow for sure.

Wow, I'm an almost daily user, too, but wasn't aware until I saw your post about the increase. I have to pay tomorrow so it looks like I'll get hit with the increase immediately.

When do you go to the gym. I'm usually there in the 11-12 time period. I wonder if we have met and don't know we aer both on dr1.

I would be very hesitant to pay for the next month as I was in the Gym this morning and there was talk of it being for sale and closing soon. Also, very few people will pay this price, so the place is doomed anyway. They are just plain greedy, as they pay the help next to nothing when they get around to paying, which is rare. If you think this is not true ask the people that work there and find out. BE CAREFUL.

SKY, the gym has been for sale for a very long time.

There is a rumor that a new gym might be opening at Kite Beach on the Sosua side of Cabarete.

Prices raised last year about this time. Upstairs went from RD$300 to RD$500. Los of doom and gloom talk then, too. More foreigners now than ever before, but less Dominicans.

That jump downstairs to RD$1200 is a killer. I look for a decrease there, especially now there are some exercise bikes upstairs plus the rowing machines to warm up on and for cardio.
