Ibtisam Posted January 16, 2007 Central london is wee bit expensive hun. But you can go SANCTUARY (Ladies Health Spa & Gym) in Covent Garden or YMCA extensive fitness facilities which has a pool in Tottenham Court Road. Good luck. In my area there is one for muslim women only but i've never been- but it might be for women from the area only :confused: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
UK_ROSE Posted January 16, 2007 are these women only? as in like no men & no cameras? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NGONGE Posted January 16, 2007 There is a Muslim one in East London (I hear). Anyway, with most sports clubs, they call it women's only day but the instructors are still male. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
