Hi All,

We've been living in the year for 6 months or so, and the Mrs (thai) is finding it hard to motivate herself to exercise etc. and would like to join a fitness club.

Living in the Prawet area, the city centre is a bit too much of a commute - so she'd prefer something that is within say half an hours drive..... e.g. as far Seacon Sq. would be ok......

She wants to do it equally for a bit of weight loss and general fitness.

Any pointers would be much appreciated.

Hi,

I live in the same area. There is a place called Narathorn http://www.narathorn.com/nrtsport/index.php its quite quiet and lots of women and family go there, have swimming pool, tennis court and a reasonable gym. Its very close to Seacon.

There are plenty of ladies beauty clinics that sell rubbish treatments etc in the area but no 'ladies' fitness centres to my knowledge. They are mixed gender gyms so I would think if attending during the non rush periods, prior to Midday, she should be fine - but stay away from mainstream like California and Wow as they charge and get a little too social if you get my drift! It may pay to get some equipment at home. She may also find it more comfortable to not show off the extra pounds/kilo's in mixed company, but don't go overboard as costs can be high and the interest wanes!
