Is there a decent gym in Qatar ?

I am an International level Powerlifter / Strength Athlete. I will be in Qatar a lot in the years to come and I need a good gym to workout in. I am trying to find somewhere decent to workout in. I know Hotel Ramada has a gym out the back, but would love somewhere near Al Sadd.....? So does anyone know a decent gym where I can deadlift, squat and benchpress on an Olympic bar set up ? (a Smith Machine is not too good for me !)Just imagine what it would be like to have a two time World Benchpress Champion / World Record holder in your gym ! Thanks

If I were you I would contact Aspire. That is the Qatari sports institute. They have a range of gyms and proper olympic bar set ups in all of them.

It is closed to the general public (I am not talking about Aspire Active) but they normally welcome elite level athletes to train there.

If you ask someone senior and show them your achievements they may well grant you access.

You can try Al Massa Gym at Al-Saad. They have a separate gym for ladies and gents which is fully equipped with all the latest workout machines :)
