Let's be honest, Kampala has amazing weather all year round and we would love to go for a jog or run outside every morning or evening. However, the terrain in some parts of the city make it impossible to jog/run and also thanks to the poorly constructed roads that are pedestrian non-friendly...(Hello KCCA, help?)
So if you don't wanna risk getting run over by cars and boda bodas, sign up at a local gym in Kampala. Even though the city has alot of them, these are our favourite and affordable "go-to" gyms that will help with your fitness goals and won't cost you an arm and a leg.
