Sure, I'm currently a member at Gold's Gym.  They have an excellent section for females that is very well equipped.  To be honest, I find it to be equivalent, if not superior when compared with any of the health clubs in Los Angeles.

They're located in the Zahra district on Batterjee Street, right next door to the German hospital.
You can contact them at: (2) 691-2077

Good luck!

Miss Saudi Arabia

Thanks Raha_LA! :-) saved the number :-)

Yep, Gold's Gym is said to be the best. I've never been there, and I'd like to check it out sometime. There's another one too (where my membership is soon to expire :( ) for women called Olympia in Dr. Soliman Fakieh Hospital, Palestine Street, Tel: (02) 66 55 000 x 4201.

I don't know where it stands in comparison to Gold's Gym, but Olympia seems to be generally excellent as well. Their swimming pool isn't that great though (pretty small). They've got a pretty good annual offer of SR 4,500 which covers the usage of all equipment/facilities.

Miss Saudi Arabia

Mortal10 << Thanks for the info re: Olympia.  Saved the number in my mobile.  By any chance do they have tennis courts in Olympia? Used to play tennis in JIS but I wanna play somewhere else this time... too bad Al Bilad's only for men. :)

They do have tennis courts (indoor ones). I'm not sure if women play (or are allowed to). I've mostly seen men going in with racquets. Oh wait, I recall seeing a woman going in once with a racquet too! (Clearly, I haven't tried out this area.)

I'll ask for you next time I go to the gym.

Miss Saudi Arabia

Mortal10 << Thanks! :-) Let's try that area one time, lol! I'll bring an extra raquet for you :D Gosh, I'm just so excited to go back to Jeddah hahaha! :D

Hello All,
It would be good to have a massive family/group outing for everyone to come and meet each other.
If you're interested - I could arrange that we occupy the family section within the Cafe Aroma on the Corniche - do let me know.

pop me a direct e-mail to this expat-blog if you're interested and I will make the arrangements.  Let's schedule it for Thursday coming???
Stay in touch!
Jalal.
