The gym I can recommend does not have a pool, but I think it is big and friendly, with some cool classes and even though it is not full of foreigners, they welcomed me and sponsored me for my parkour. They are called Mission Fitness Or Mishang Fitness, located in The Wanda Plaza right across the road from Renmin North Metro station on Line 1. If you go there and tell them that you know Gary, the Parkour Foreigner you should easily get a good price on a year or two’s membership. I am estimating about 2000-2500 yuan. The main manager I know is called Yi

Wahoo – I managed to find a much cheaper gym to sponsor me for my freerunning/Parkour. I bagged myself and a friend FREE membership plus extras. The cost is 2600 for a year (apparently) but I have been told I can get anyone a year membership for 2300 yuan.
I also get clothing goodies too, now THAT is a real sponsor. The gym is called Mission fitness, the location is

You will find it on the 5th floor, in the Wanda next to Renmin North Road Subway. Just mention Gary the Parkour guy to get your discounted entry or speak to me on Wechat – surrealparkour.
I am also selling tickets, you can get them from me as well. Just message me on wechat surrealparkour
I have been watching this post with interest, as I prefer to train outside.
I do Parkour/Freerunning and just moved to Chengdu to teach English, I have just become affiliated with a high end gym. It is called Physical Gym, there is only one in Chengdu, but many across China. When I say high end I mean it. 7500 Yuan for a year’s membership but then you get a year so it becomes 2 years membership. Personal trainers are there to help too. Membership is one to brag about, But its the look and the vibe that does it, not overly pretentious. it is a gym. For people that can afford that price.
Th gym is located in one of the malls in Chunxi Road. Pretty sure it is the IFS. Anyway, they have said to me that I can join for 6500 Yuan and anyone else can simply by saying that they know me. So 1000 yuan off is not too bad after an hours worth of haggling and negotiation.
If anyone wants in, message me on Wechat surrealparkour or Call Aimee the sales manager on 13408025170 and mention me. She is Chinese, so be patient. or just go through me.
Or train outside, cheaper…. But I like the look so hence why I may go for it.
I shall be teaching English, Oh goody.
I did not select it, I was chosen… The company I hope to be working with does teaching in Chengdu, so that is why I will be doing it.
I just need a mad dash to save up money, I have zilch and need to be there by Mid/Late August. Here is to begging all the friends I know to lend me some money or help me via kickstarter by doing parkour/acrobatics in my free time and making a blog.
One of you… One of you….
