On my last trip to Isfahan (Dec 2008) I went to a Zurkhoneh in the Sabzeh Medan District of Isfahan. Zurkhanehs are basically traditional Persian sports clubs that date back some 700 years.
I must say it was a privilege to be allowed permission to go there since as far as i know women aren't allowed in.
There are many 'exercises' in a zurkhaneh, this one is the spinning one.
