Exercising and going to the gym are among the things that must be persevered to have good health and a long life.
But have you ever wondered what is the most expensive gym membership in Egypt, and what is the secret of its high prices and what’s in it?
“LA7” is Egypt’s most expensive gym, with a £23,000 annual membership fee, or £5,500 a month, plus a waiting list of around 700 people wanting to join, according to a video posted by the YouTuber Karim El-Sayed on his YouTube page, during which he reviewed the place, among his videos he posts in Egypt, since he settled there after his return from England.
The “master” begins his tour with the lift, going through the various rooms of the place and all its parts as follows:
– Elevator: The elevator leaves from the garage and takes you inside the gym itself.
Reception: The “reception” is characterized by a large area and a characteristic hotel design, as well as the diffusion of natural good smells.
