Gyms Near Asoke / Nana / Ploenchit

[cwldanny]

Hey guys,

Im still looking for a gym a long the BTS near Siam to Asok, tried the 3 large chains FF/California/True and didnt like how crowded it got.

Does anyonr know any smaller or better gyms nearby that has a good set of weights?

If there was a better gym in this area it would likely be more crowded. You might think about changing the time you go if possible.

There is a great gym attached t o Silom BTS - salt water pool and boxing area - It;'s in Thaniya Plaza

Thanks for the help Ritti, will check it out.

Not really into the classes the bigger gyms offer or yoga, just want weights, squat rack and other basic lift equipment.

There is a decent gym in Waterford Diamond condo, soi 30/1. Decent set of free weights, squat rack, usual machines and never used to be too busy when I used it.

That is actually a good idea ... This poster should check with other condos too in the area if this one is not suitable as a number of condos let you use their facilities if you pay a small fee per use as opposed to paying for membership.

Thaniya has a power rack too and 2 good smith machines (steam room/cafe/saltwater pool)

Clark Hatch is the gym - 9th floor - let me know what you think - I love it there

The Landmark has a great gym but expensive for day / week passes....

Try the Windsor Hotel on Suk 18/20. They have a Clark Hatch facility on the 14th floor with pretty decent free weights and some machine weights as well. Membership includes use of the swimming pool, which can be great during the hot Songkran season. You can sign up for 7500-8000 baht if you tell them you want the day membership, which allows you access if you enter before 5 pm. If that doesn't work for you, tell them you know Herb (old time member there) got his membership for that price. Just keep in mind that they are really looking for members there, so don't sign up unless you get a decent price.

I don't know if it's been finished yet but there was a new fitness center going in just behind Los Cabos Mexican off Soi 14. Met a guy at The Los Cabos bar who was putting it together.

Just worked out the Clark Hatch gym at Windsor Hotel almost a month ago.

The hotel facilities looked great but not the gym.

Mainly gays (their mannerism confirmed it ><) and students (University I think) in it.

Used towels, socks and shoes were all over the place in the locker room.

1st time will be the last.

Cheers!

Ouch, for a years membership you could buy a complete set of free weights, bars, bench and a setup for lats, rowing.
