I've just had my visa approved and am looking forward to joining in late June. Firstly, thanks to all of those who take the time to monitor this board and help the newbies. It's really appreciated and most of my packing lists have come from lurking on here.
I wondered if someone could answer a couple of questions I had and which I couldn't find mentioned in previous threads. These are
1. Are there any massage therapists (for women) on or near main camp?
2. Are there any osteopaths or chiropractors also?
3. How are classes like yoga taught on camp (are they Aramco professionals / trained volunteers, etc.)? I'm a PA but I was thinking of certifying to teach Yin Yoga in the next year or so (for my own amusement, not as a job). I thought it would be interesting to know if that type of class was something already catered for.
4.Are there any type of water fitness classes, like Aquafit, etc.?
5. How thoroughly do they search devices like kindles etc. when you arrive? Whilst there's nothing truly dodgy on there (as if I would!) and I'll be cautious with photographs, etc., I'm just wondering how careful I need to be with kindle books as I would be most upset to have that taken off me! Thanks all. Look forward to meeting many of you in the near future. Jo

I'd be keen to know the answers to these questions too!
I wondered if there are any reformer pilates classes or ashtanga yogis too

There are massage therapists, certainly in the main camp salon.
Osteopath etc, yes but off camp. Not far.
There is a yoga group and lots of classes. These are taught by people who are trained and through recreation, you’d easily get contacts.
No aqua fit as far as I know. Check the pool at the women’s gym.
Never had my kindle or any other device even looked at. But, I have also seen multiple copies of 50 shades of grey sold here so I’d say you’ll be fine.
