Long layovers don’t have to mean sitting still. At Hamad International Airport (DOH) in Doha, travelers can stretch, swim, or lift weights between flights — all without leaving the terminal. The Vitality Wellbeing & Fitness Centre makes staying active during transit surprisingly easy.

Vitality Wellbeing & Fitness Centre at Oryx Airport Hotel

Conveniently located on the fourth floor of the Oryx Airport Hotel, the Vitality Centre is open daily from 06:00 AM to 02:00 AM. It’s accessible to all passengers, not just hotel guests, and offers a complete range of wellness facilities designed for travelers who like to keep moving.

  • Fully equipped gym with cardio and strength machines
  • 25-metre indoor pool with panoramic terminal views
  • Hydrotherapy tubs and showers
  • Lockers and changing rooms
  • Optional spa treatments and massages

Hotel guests enjoy complimentary access to all facilities, while transit passengers can buy a short-term entry pass at reception.

Entry Prices

  • Adults: 190 QAR (~55 USD) per person
  • Children (6–13 yrs): 115 QAR (~33 USD)
  • Showers only: 105 QAR (~30 USD)

Children under 5 are not allowed to use the pool or gym. Children aged 5 and above must be accompanied by an adult.

How to Access the Gym

The entrance to the Vitality Wellbeing & Fitness Centre is clearly signposted inside the airside area of the terminal. You can access it from the main concourse — just follow the signs toward the Oryx Airport Hotel and take the elevator to Level 4. No visa or re-check-in required, as the entire facility is within the secure zone.

Lounges with Fitness Options

If you’re flying Qatar Airways Business or First Class, you might also have access to the Al Mourjan Business Lounge – The Garden. While it doesn’t have a full gym, it offers quiet wellness rooms, showers, nap pods, and spa treatments — perfect for stretching, hydrating, or recharging before your next flight.

Other premium lounges (like the Al Safwa First Lounge) also include showers, jacuzzis, and relaxation zones, making them good alternatives if you prefer comfort over a workout.

Final Thoughts

Whether you’re looking to fit in a workout, unwind in the pool, or just take a hot shower before your next flight, Hamad International Airport sets a high bar for traveler wellness. The Vitality Wellbeing & Fitness Centre is one of the few full-service gyms inside an international airport — a great option for staying refreshed and ready for your journey.
