aroydee Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 I will be living in the Sathorn area for three months this summer, and most urgently am looking for a gym reasonably close to the area. I once did a month at the California Fitness on Silom, and found the facilities quite acceptable even if the sales tactics there are a bit... unpleasant.... Should I stick with California, or could someone make an alternative recommendation? The only things that I require are a/c, hot showers and decent equipment and environment for someone like me: an advanced novice type. Thanks!

Plaza, on the 9th floor I believe. Not brand new, but air conditioned and pleasant enough and far better pricing than California. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flightcrew1 Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 The gym at Thaniya Plaza is now called Body Torque and is being revamped and renovated. It used to be part of Clark Hatch Fitness. Prices now are about 20,000 for the year or temporary membership is 500 a day or 4000 a month. Same prices for every body with no underhand sales tactics like California Wow across the street. On Satorn (same building as Aldo's) is the Cascade Club. Very high end and very expensive costing about 40000 per year with 1000 baht daily fee and no monthly rates. There is also True Fitness on Satorn located at Rama 4. About the same prices as California Wow with the same sales tactics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flightcrew1 Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 Also being a member of Cascade club gets you 20pct off at Aldo's, with invites to special events at the restaurant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't remember the name of the gym now; sorry .work out first there and go get drunk in Aldo then. I believe the building being talked about is called the Ascott, high-end serviced apartments near Chong Nonsi BTS. Also has the excellent Hu'u Bar on the ground floor. Many of the hotels in that area will have gyms also which, depending on your budget and exactly where on Sathorn you will be based, could give you some options.
