Gdańsk Gym Market - Overview
Gdańsk is the largest city in the Tricity (Trójmiasto) - the uninterrupted Baltic-coast conurbation of Gdańsk, Gdynia and Sopot that together house roughly 750,000 residents. The SKM commuter rail makes it practical to live in one Tricity city and train in another on a single Multisport card.
Gdańsk's gym market is defined by the coast: waterfront running, open-water swimming in summer and outdoor calisthenics spots along the Motława and the beach boulevard complement the indoor club scene.
