The Health and Fitness industry here is completely and utterly undeveloped. There are major differences in health between the different groups which live in Qatar. Smoking is the norm, food choices/education is very poor, diet is very poor, and the general population has no access to proper fitness facilities. There is a large pool facility at the Aspire complex, yet the common person in Qatar, and who needs these services/facilities the most, are completely unable to afford the cost. I am afraid, that its all about money, and anyone who tells you anything different is pulling your leg.
