Please be very aware of ripoffs...most of the gyms (mine atleast in shanghai ) didn't have much in writing explaining the different memberships costs etc, so had a tough time negotiating with them. Also, if you do intend to use the facilities of a gym within the residential complex you live in, please ensure that they have the machines you want to use. In most cases, the landlord should include clubhouse membership as part of the rental agreement. Part of the reason I rented where I did was because they seemed to have a good gym ..it was undergoing an 'upgrade' at the time we saw it, and I can tell you now, its a shame they even call it a gym after the so called upgrade finished...hence, here I am, paying through my own pocket for a facility that the landlord has provided!! don't know if you wil be negotiating with the landlord direct or not, but there are tons of hidden things out here!! Best of luck!
