The gym I go to has different days and timings for men and women...say Monday it is for men in the evening and women in day time and Tuesday it is for women in evening and men in day time... Fridays and saturdays are kept open for all, all through the day. Guess that provides equal access to women with full gym. However this debate would be good if said women themselves have their opinion here rather than us, may be they are just OK with the schedules and facilities and we expats are poking our nose, as usual, unnecessarily....:)
