A gym with a view

[roger101]

What I want is a gym with a walking/running machine (not that I will do any running) that either has a TV nearby to watch or a street view that gives me something to look at at while I'm walking, I would prefer a low priced gym say a 120 baht a day. I don't need any comments about just walk the streets. I'm getting old and my sense of balance is crap. I need the bars on a walking machine to help me keep my balance. I look forward to all your helpful reply's.

I understand your problem. The first thing I wish to say, is kudos for your will to move and stay healthy. After that, you can choose any gym. Just bring your phone and listen to music or buy a tablet to put in front looking movies while you walk and excersie.

It won't help you, but generally, many nice condo buildings in the first line have gyms overlooking the sea/street.

It sounds like you think your sense of balance will somehow improve walking on a movable machine, 555.  By your own admission it sounds like a stationary platform is what you need. There's plenty of parks with jogging/walking paths if you know how to find them.

Sounds like what he needs is handrails to compensate for balance issues really. It is why one might see older folks pushing a shopping cart around with one or two small items in it at the Mall.

Coco gym in Mike Shopping centre has a nice view of Pattaya beach. It's bit more than 120 baht though.

Used that one a few times myself for just that reason, although I settled for Fairtex near the Dolphin Roundabout - seem to recall there's a lot of green outside in front of the running machines (and/or tennis courts?).

 

I used to stay at the Palm Gardens round the corner but that seems to have disappeared along with the Kiss Food place when Terminal 21 muscled in. All a sad loss for Pattaya. ????

 

P.S.

Just noticed OP budget of 120. Don't think that'll stretch to Fairtex, can't remember about above Mike's. But otherwise my post stands.

The PRS Hotel gym on Soi 17/Soi Regional Land looks out on the street with a lot of traffic passing. It's air-conditioned but only in the evenings. I haven't been there for years but it used to charge 3,000 Baht a month for membership. There's also a small swimming pool. Sounds like it ticks all your boxes.

Your smart phone isn't able to watch youtube videos? Assuming you're not Amish, get a pair of wireless earphones, a smart phone with internet access, then watch Youtube, Netflix, or any one of the hundred of streaming sites for free.

Then you're free to pick & choose any gym that fits your needs.
