Large recreational facility |
Podolská 74 Prague 12800 Czech Republic +420 2 4143 3952 http://www.pspodoli.cz/ |
A fitness cum recreational landmark for Prague, this space looks and feels like one of the few places about town which has not changed much over the past decade but manages to offer good facilites for keeping fit. The large complex was built in a mid-century functionalist style and features large indoor and outdoor swimming pools, attracting an all-ages crowd all year round. The outdoor pool is flanked by a good weights room, with a space for sunbeds and massage, fitness shops and a huge lawn for taking in the rays during the warmer months. Swimming competitions are held in the space during the warmer months. The inside space includes large changing rooms, an Olympic size pool and a restaurant. Prices are determined by the amount of time spent at the facility and are competitive with other fitness centers around town. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Classic fitness center |
Na Porící 12 Prague 11000 Czech Republic +420 2 2487 5811 / +420 2 2487 2128 (YMCA) http://www.praha.ymca.cz/ |
After sampling the thick gravies that Czech cuisine is famous for, it may be a good idea to head over to the centrally located YMCA fitness center. This well known organization offers many of the same services one can expect from any other YMCA around the world, including a weightlifting facility, swimming pool, sauna, massage and hair salon. For those who workout during regular business hours, child care is available. Normally, the facilities aren't crowded but it is best to avoid exercising in the evening. To cater to those who do not speak Czech, there usually is one English-speaking staff member on duty. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Squash fun! |
Kvetnového vítezství 79 Háje Prague 14900 Czech Republic +420 2 7294 0089 http://www.squashpoint.cz/ |
For those serious about their squash, the ride to the end of the metro line is worth the time for the six well-maintained courts found at this facility. The space caters to both expert-level players and beginners, offering the opportunity to borrow equipment for those not owning their own. Top-brand equipment from rackets to sportswear is also for sale in the shop and prospective racket buyers are welcome to test any model before purchasing. In addition to squash, courts are available for the fairly new, hardwood court game of ricochet which is a cross between raquetball and squash. The large facility also offers a fully equipped weights room, aerobics, massage, tanning beds, sauna and bar. Prices are lower during the middle of the day and permanent passes are also available.
