There is also a gym in DXB directly below the Emirates lounges in Concourse A. A full summary of all the gyms in major airports would make a great OMAAT article - especially as Ben already makes a point of explaining gym facilities in his hotel reviews.

Turkish Airlines domestic lounges have a standalone entrance with direct bus to the plane in several airports. (IST, SAW, ADB, ESB) which is a huge timesaver. Kind of unique process and worth mentioning.
