Gym In Thong Lo / Phra Khanong / Ekkamai / P.pong

[TenDreams]

recommendations required for gyms in the above areas in that order of preference, would be hugely appreciated!

looking for something small, and preferably pay as u go rather than membership based.

Also looking for a Muay Thai gym. Anybody know if the one on Sukhumvit 49 is any good?

Thanks

[Tingnongnoi]

whats the name of it?

[TenDreams]

I don't have a name but know it's on 49/6 then down a little soi. Sorry I don't have more info on that.

There is a gym that is hardly ever used as all the guys just go there to use the steam room and the dark rooms at a Gay Sauna at Phrakanong Soi 42. Entrance fee including lockers and towels is only 90 baht !

That could be just the piece of info that might save me 31K! (1 year membership for ChiroGym on Thong Lo)

Thanks heaps! I will check it out.

Soi Klang Racquet Club on Sukhumvit Soi 49 is excellent value. They have two lap pools, a decent weight room, tennis courts, badminton courts, racquet ball courts, etc, etc, and are just about to open a rock climbing area. The yearly fee is 15 thousand, but it has to be paid in full.

I find it to be a comfortable place to work out, and comparatively speaking, a good price.

Thanks for the tip,I will take a look there also.

The Muay Thai gym I referred to in earlier is called Taniguchi Gym and also has a branch called Sakura gym on Soi 33. It seems they only do 'real' Muay Thai training at these gyms on the weekend though with aerobic boxing during the week. I have a bit more info on them if anyone is interested. Will post after I have tried it out.

Couldn't find it, does it exist or was that just a ploy to get a laugh at the expense of a straight farang wondering round bangkok looking for a gay sauna? LOL

Do you have a name or directions? I found the Bangkok Sports Club on 42, but no gym there.

Did you ever find this gym?

Is there any action at the sauna / steam room in the Raquet Club?

I am not sure why all the hate for California Wow. It has decent facilites and equipment. However, in this case, and have to agree with the OP's caveat. I went to the new Ekkamai branch to try it out while on my way to the airport. It was small, had mimimal equipment, and didn't even have towel service.
