The GHMC Multipurpose Sports Complex is in Vijaya Nagar Colony, Hyderabad, run by the city corporation. It holds a 4.1 rating from 48 Google reviews. It's a multi-sport complex rather than a gym, and the record stopped in December 2019.
Four reviewers discuss the swimming pool. They contradict each other completely, and I think the contradiction resolves.
Is There A Pool Or Isn't There?
A visitor in July 2019, five stars: "Very good complex. The staff is supportive and many sports including swimming, badminton, table tennis."
A visitor in April 2019, four stars: "Here I came for yoga practice, there was an excellent well trained master. And even there was a huge big swimming pool, 4 to 8 feet."
A visitor in September 2019, two stars: "There is no swimming pool at all here, and these people don't care to update too. Wasted time searching it. They live in olden days misguiding others about the games that they have, don't have."
A visitor in December 2019, two stars: "The equipment must needed to be repaired. The swimming pool should be fill with water."
Two say there's a pool. One says there's no pool at all. One says the pool needs filling.
Read those last two together and the puzzle solves itself. "The swimming pool should be filled with water" and "there is no swimming pool at all" are the same observation from two different people. An empty pool is no pool, if you came to swim.
So my best reading: the pool exists as a structure, and at least in late 2019 it wasn't usable. The April 2019 reviewer who measured it, 4 to 8 feet, presumably saw it full or was describing the hole.
That's a guess and I'll label it as one. But the useful advice doesn't depend on it: if you're going for the pool, phone ahead. One person wasted a trip already, and she's angry about it.
The Courts Are Slippery
A visitor in October 2019, three stars: "Badminton courts could be better if replaced with mats, wooden courts are slippery."
Wooden badminton courts, described as slippery, with a specific fix suggested.
That's a safety point rather than a preference. If you play, a slippery surface is how ankles go. It's one person's assessment, but it's a physical property of the floor, not an opinion about the vibe.
What's Actually Here
Across the reviews: badminton, table tennis, yoga with what one visitor calls well-trained masters, and swimming if the pool is full.
A visitor in December 2019 also says "the equipment must needed to be repaired," which is the only mention of gym equipment on the whole record and isn't encouraging.
Nobody describes a gym floor, weights or machines. If you came looking for somewhere to train in Hyderabad, this record has almost nothing for you.
Why I'm Not Writing More
Forty-eight ratings, five reviews, all from 2019, and two of the five are two stars. There are no opening hours on the listing, no phone number, and no prices.
The GHMC sports page is at ghmc.gov.in/sports. For a municipal facility that's where anything current would live, and nothing on this page has been confirmed in over six years.
Who It's Not For
Anyone wanting a gym.
Anyone travelling specifically to swim, until they've called.
Vijaya Nagar Colony, SBH Colony, Hyderabad, Telangana 500057.
