There's a sort of funky one on Istiklal near ET. Only machines and weights. last I checked it was 60Tl/mo for 3 times/wk
There is also Sports International in Sisli, which is very nice, but spendy. At least $1200.yr. It has a pool and all the other facilities you might want.
A friend goes to one in Fatih, only 30TL/mo.
Pools are hard to find if you are a swimmer.
Maybe you should set up an informal class for teachers  An opportunity to throw off stress. |

| Only 50 quid a month which is nothing in the real world but in the TEFL good life it is considered too spendy. |

He has been working out for 15 years now and is ready to ''go out into the world and make a difference.''

What about Jims in Instanbul? There must be quite a few. I suppose if they all got together, they could be called a Jimnasium.
Of course, if they were athletically minded, they would wear Jim shoes.
And, of course, they would be very handy around the house. Kitchen equipment broken? Never mind, Jim�ll fix it. |

there is a gymlike place very close to where I live and it is free, also they pay you. It is called "Demir Insaat" ... you do the same stuff in a gym and you are paid.
why pay 100 quids to pick up heavy things and carry them or run without purpose?  |
