JackGats Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 Everything remains closed as long as no use to the Chinese. This has nothing more to do with Covid. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am I the only one that can't stand the wretched places? I'm not against exercise, but can't abide a gym environment. Ghastly, pretentious and thoroughly boring, sterile places. I hate them too, but I do go regularly and I hate not being able to go, more than I hate the boring repetitive nature of the exercise I do there. A necessary evil in my life. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackGats Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 Gyms in Pat useless. No air con. I recommend waiting for Decatlon on Pattaya North Road to open, and to buy a set of resistance bands. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just workout in the gym, do my own thing. Some gyms can be sterile and the people in them can be pretentious I agree. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JayBird Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 Fitness 7 has about 30% of the gym with air con. Also Jett and Coco have air con. However the last two are not aimed at those who require heavy weights. Fitness 7 is possibly the best choice around here. They at least have 85kg dumbbells and a Smith that can go to 300kg. No Golds, but alas.. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RemyDog Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 I understand from Universal Gym (Pattaya) that from May 1 only open air gyms (= ? non-air con) may resume at reduced operating levels plus Covid19 social distancing and wearing of a mask. Their current expectation is that as an air conditioned gym, it will be mid-June before they will be allowed to operate. Life is tough in small business as well as for the population at large. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The huge downstairs area is completely air-conditioned, while a small section of the upstairs part (for boxing) is not, or at least not really cool. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think an open-air gym would be be like some of Tony's gyms that have few if any walls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMEinBangkok Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 All of these measures demonstrate the level of disdain the Thai government has for its own people. To be so intentionally cruel to them for no good reason and to threaten mass punishments if the number of infections grows, show just what sort of tyranny this population is subject to. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mick501 Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 Facebook for Fitness 7 (dated 30 March) stated it would re-open on 1 May. No updates since. Checked it out this morning (1 May) and it's closed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny Appleseed Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 Depends what you require from Thai air-con use...I find doing serious cardio in gyms here difficult due to the 24-25 degrees in the gym...I either add to this by taking in a portable fan or run outside where at least there is a breeze and you can wring your shirt out without looking disgusting.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presumably that's indicative of whatever regional or government regulations have been mooted or implemented, and likely to be across the board for all gyms. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
