If you are looking for recovery alongside training, we compared the prices of sports massage in our article on massage prices, and the prices of other services are in our price guide.
What we did not measure
We did not include EthnoGym's prices for women, or the Podgorica fitness centres Eurosport, DIF, Ariston and Kolos that Google suggests, because we did not find their price lists published. We did not check promotions, discounts for couples and families, or how busy the gyms are at different times. The prices are from a single day.
