French Phrase
C'est quoi les horaires de la salle de sport ?
Meaning
You are asking someone to tell you the opening and closing times of the gym. It’s a practical question you might ask at a reception desk, on the phone, or to a friend who already knows the schedule.
When to use
Use this informal phrasing when you are speaking with a receptionist, a fellow gym‑goer, or a friend. In a very formal setting (e.g., writing an email to a sports centre) you would switch to the more formal "Quels sont les horaires…".

Cultural Tip
In France, gyms usually display a clear "horaires d'ouverture" sign at the entrance. When you ask "C'est quoi les horaires…?" you’re using a casual, spoken register; for written requests or when speaking to a manager, prefer the more formal "Quels sont les horaires d'ouverture…?" Also, note that many French gyms close for a long lunch break in smaller towns, so double‑check the midday schedule.
