For the most part, the Changchun Friends website is not very active and has been superseded by the Tencent "Wechat" app by the local expat community. This website is maintained sporadically, people may still join and membership is still open, but if you are a spammer, stay away. The archived information here is still useful, but some may be out of date. There are plans to make it more useful for static information in the future. If anyone needs information about Changchun or China, you may post a message and it probably will get a response but not immediately.

Changchun Friends

a great way to get involved

Fitness center and/or equipment

Hi all!

I've just moved here and I've been looking/asking around for a gym in my area (around Changchun Normal University) with no luck... Anyone know of anything? I've found quite a few in the center but I'd love to have one closer to work and home and avoid the long bus rides every day! 

Alternately, any pointers on where to buy basic fitness equipment? Dumbbells, resistance bands, yoga mats and the like..?

Thanks for any and all help! :)

There is a decent gym around the corner from me called "Fuao Sports Health Club" (Weixing Road, next to Fu'ao Linhewan community- #18088622373).....Reasonably priced.

Has a large indoor pool, large open area of free weights and nautilus/elliptical equipment. Plus, there is a spinning room with about 20-25 bikes and a "dance" room where I presume they do a variety of dances.

Good luck:)

Is that the big shopping centre right at Saide Square?
