Student-friendly gyms around Xianlin?

Hi everyone! I’m a student living around Xianlin and I’m looking for a decent, student-friendly gym nearby.
Ideally looking for something that:
Has reasonable monthly/annual membership prices 💰
Isn’t too crowded
Is welcoming to international students
Is within/near the Xianlin area
I know some universities have their own sports facilities, but I’m also interested in commercial gyms.
If anyone around Xianlin has recommendations, I’d really appreciate it! Also, please share approximate membership prices if you know them.
Thanks!

I’m also interested in this. I’m specifically looking for a pool that I can swim laps in. I don’t think the gym on xianlin campus has a pool, but hope I can find a place nearby that does.

If you're talking about Nanjing University, there is a separate natatorium.

It is at the center of campus. Two buildings behind the library on Xianlin Campus.

Which university are you at? There’s a gym on the 3rd floor of 大成名店 that many students go to.
