On the road - gym recommendations

    In the near future I'll have to start travelling for work quite a bit, so I thought a thread with gym recommendations in other locations could be an idea, where anyone in a similar boat could share tips.

    Obviously one can do bodyweight exercises, and make do with the standard hotel gym offering of a treadmill and a few dumbbells, but it would be nice to have the same options as at home, particularly when you're travelling a lot, and not exactly for your own pleasure.

    Requirements for me would be:
    • Relatively central location without being a dangerous area for non-locals
    • Olympic barbells and decent amounts of weight available. Reasonably heavy dumbbells.
    • Several squat racks / power cages and benches
    • Day pass or short term memberships available at reasonable cost
    • Secure, sanitary changing facilities and showers
    I'm told the members of gentleman's clubs have the right to use other clubs when they are away from home. It would be an idea for gyms to come up with a similar 'roaming' arrangement.

    Afraid I can't kick this off with many recommendations (yet), but I will update with info as I accumulate it. If anyone can recommend options in Mumbai, Bangalore, or Manila, they'd be greatly appreciated.
