Gym price in Kathmandu: published fees from 10 gyms (October 2026)

A gym in Kathmandu costs about NPR 3,500 a month: that is the median of 9 gyms that publish a monthly price, checked on 28 October 2026. Most charge between NPR 2,800 and NPR 5,000 a month. Paying for a year usually cuts the monthly cost by a quarter to a half, but admission fees, lockers, sauna and VAT can add to the price you see.

Below is every published price we found, with the source link and the date, so you can check it yourself.

How we collected these prices

On 28 October 2026 we opened each gym’s own website and copied the prices it publishes. We only used prices on the gym’s own pages, not Facebook posts, forums or what someone was quoted at the desk.

Limits to keep in mind:

• Gyms change prices, run festival offers and quote differently in person. Treat this as a starting point and confirm at the desk.
• “Gym” means weights and machines. Some gyms charge more to add the cardio floor or classes; we note that where it applies.
• A low price doesn’t tell you about crowding, equipment or coaching. Visit before you pay.

ROC Fitness Club appears twice because its two branches list different multi-month prices. We counted it once in the median.

Not a gym, but an option: KlumFit sells a multi-gym pass at NPR 2,499 a month for 30 visits across 70+ partner gyms, NPR 6,999 for 3 months and NPR 11,999 for 6 months. It is non-refundable.

Median and range

Measure (1-month gym plan, 9 gyms)	NPR
Lowest	1,500
Median	3,500
Highest	18,000
Gyms between 2,800 and 5,000	7 of 9

The top of the range is a premium club with a spa; leave it out and the other 8 gyms run from NPR 1,500 to NPR 5,000.

Is the annual plan worth it?

At most gyms, yes, if you will keep going. Here is how many months of the monthly price one year costs:

Gym	12 months	Same as this many monthly payments
Wellness Organic Club	85,000	4.7
The Physique Workshop	20,000	6.1
Gymtaar	23,000	6.6
ROC Fitness Club, Narephat	27,000	7.7
Ultimate Lifting Club	39,000	7.8
ROC Fitness Club, Tinkune	28,000	8.0
Milestone Gym	38,000	8.4
Beauty & The Beast Fitness Station	27,000	9.0
Shakti X Gym & Fitness	25,600	9.1
Standard Fitness Club	18,000	12.0

The catch: where a gym states a refund policy (Kumari Fitness, KlumFit), the plan is non-refundable. If you are new to training, try a month or a 3-month plan first.

What drives the price

• What’s included. Gym only, gym and cardio, classes (Zumba, boxing), or sauna and steam. ROC’s full membership with boxing and sauna is NPR 7,000 a month against NPR 3,500 for gym only.
• Hours. The Physique Workshop’s day-time plan (10 AM to 4 PM) is NPR 2,500 a month against NPR 3,300 for regular hours. Regular hours cover the evenings, which is when most people with office jobs can train.
• Coaching. Some plans include an assessment, a diet consultation or trainer-guided sessions; others are floor access only.
• Space and extras. Showers, air conditioning, parking and a spa push a gym towards the top of the range.

Hidden costs to ask about

Cost	What we found	Ask
Admission or registration fee	NPR 1,000 one-time at ROC Fitness Club; “no admission fee” at Shakti X; most gyms don’t say	Is there a joining fee, and is it refundable?
Locker	NPR 400 a month at The Physique Workshop, NPR 500 at Gymtaar; included at Standard Fitness Club and Beauty & The Beast	Is a locker included, or extra?
Sauna and steam	Included at Gymtaar; NPR 1,000 a day at Ultimate Lifting Club; NPR 3,500 a month add-on on ROC’s sauna page	Is it included, and on which days?
VAT	Nepal’s VAT rate is 13%. None of the 10 gyms says whether its prices include it	Is the price including VAT? Will I get a bill?
Personal training	NPR 2,000 a session or NPR 20,000 a month (3 times a week) at ROC; NPR 11,000 a month at The Physique Workshop	How many sessions, and how long is each?
Freeze	Not stated on most price pages	Can I pause my plan if I travel or get sick?

One clue on VAT: The Physique Workshop’s calculator shows NPR 13,274.33 for one 6-month plan, which is exactly NPR 15,000 divided by 1.13. That suggests some figures on that page may be shown before VAT. Ask any gym to confirm the final amount.

Prices we checked but left out

• Aaryan’s Fitness Club (Pepsicola): prices appear only in the page’s hidden data, and the 3-month price (NPR 14,000) is more than three monthly payments (NPR 9,000). We couldn’t confirm them.
• ROC Fitness Club service pages: some list different figures from the homepage (boxing NPR 6,000 a month against NPR 4,500 in the plan builder). We used the plan builder and suggest you confirm at the desk.

Lalitpur prices, for comparison

If you work in Patan or live across the Bagmati, these Lalitpur gyms publish prices too (checked 28 October 2026):

Gym	Area	Plan	1 month	Other plans	Source

Fitness Durbar	Hattiban	Gym and cardio	4,000 (shown reduced from 4,500)	4 months 14,000	site
Club Joy Fitness	Lalitpur	Gym, starting price	4,000	not published	site
Gymbahal	Sanepa	Weights, cardio, group training	6,000	3 months 15,000; 12 months 43,000 (free sauna)	site
AFit Studios	One Sky Building	Normal membership	10,000	Premium with sauna and steam 14,000	site

How to compare gyms in Kathmandu

1. Work out the real monthly cost. Add the admission fee and locker, and divide a long plan by its months. Ask if VAT is included.
2. Visit at your training time. Busy hours differ by gym; see it at the hour you will actually go.
3. Check the equipment you need. If you want to squat or deadlift, count the racks and platforms.
4. Ask who is on the floor. Is there a trainer to show you the machines, and is that included?
5. Read the terms. Refunds, freezes and transfers. Most price pages don’t state them, so ask.
6. Try before you buy a year. A free trial or a single month tells you more than any price list.

Our own prices

We haven’t put ourselves in the index, because a gym ranking its own prices among others isn’t neutral. You can see our membership fees on their own page, with what’s included. If a gym on the list above suits your timing, location and budget better, join that one.
