Any leads on retailers of fitness equipment in Pattaya?

So far I have found these sources:

Big C (really crappy cheap stuff!)

A small retailer on the south side of Pattaya Tai just east of Sukhumvit. Fairly decent stuff available, better than Big C, but no top shelf items. They are able to special order imported items for big money.

Are there any other outlets? Is there a Champ Fitness in Pattaya, and if so, where?

i think there's a few gyms/shops in pattaya

...trying to remember where now

there's one nr either big c or tesco on sukumvit

it's near the traffic lights-there's a slip road that skips the lights and leads back into pattaya, there's a row of shops on the slip road i think a barbers and a few others

there's another simmilar style outlet near naklua, dolphin circle round-about, if you were to exit kiss? restaurant, turn right and head in the direction of sukumvit

these places seem to sell equipment and train peeps, i'm not sure how it works??

if u have the option to buy secondhand, refurbished or new equipment?

maybe they could help you source some equipment???

outa interest why do u wanna buy the equipment?

gym fees are as cheap as chips in los compared to europe

there's some well equiped gyms in pattaya as i'm sure you know

anywayz hope it helps

Thanks for that.

I think I found the first one on South Pattaya Rd near Sukhumvit.

I am just looking for either a good quality treadmill or elliptical machine so that I can be sure to do my aerobic everyday without schlepping to a gym.

The best treadmill they had was only marginal and the best elliptical was below acceptable. Still better than Big C.

They could order an high end elliptical macine from Europe for something like 200,000 baht; way more than I want to pay.

Of course, if anyone has a used good quality machine (also might consider a high quality exercise bike), let me know.

Pattaya Mail / Baht & Sold both advertise such things from time to time. Don't know personally what standard the secondhand stuff is, but I assume it comes from farangs who have worn themselves out, rather than the machines.

Gym down on Beach Road, around Tipp Plaza, has gear in the window.
