Spaniel Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 I dont know what they charge but there is a place on the corner of Sukumvit soi 23 called The California Fitness Center (or something like that) that might fit your needs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camerata Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 I dont know what they charge but there is a place on the corner of Sukumvit soi 23called The California Fitness Center (or something like that) that might fit your needs. I heard that one is about 18,000 per year. There's also a popular one at the Landmark Hotel near Nana BTS station. Last time I asked, they allowed 3-month memberships and seemed to have a fairly young clientele. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farangene Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 Westin Hotel at Soi 19 and Sukhumvit (next to the BTS Asok Station and MRT Sukhumvit Station) has a nice fitness center with 1 yr old equipment, pool and friendly staff. Not sure of the costs (they have various plans) but worth checking out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leftcross Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 The Landmark at Sukhumvit is around 2,100 baht a month. You sign for three months and they need a credit card for payment. You can join California for around 1,200 a month. Aside from the one on the corner of 23 there is one down Silom Road, two minutes walk from Sala Daeng BTS. It's much bigger and better than Fitness First. I used to be a member of FF but changed to California and have been very pleased with them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah7617 Posted September 26, 2005 Author Share Posted September 26, 2005 Hey, thank you guys for your help! Think I will go to California, sounds good if it costs only 1200 B/M and if you're quite pleased with it. ...really have to do sports as food is just so good here;-)... Does Fitness First costs everywhere the same (in each location here in BKK)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tej Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 Membership at Fitness First Landmark (Bt2,140/month incl VAT) is more expensive than other locations (I think Bt1,800 or less) since it is what they call "Gold Passport" which can be use at any other Fitness First locations. In addition, you get towels at the Landmark whereas for other locations you need to bring your own towels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gentleman Scamp Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 What if you're only in the area a week or so and want to use a gymnasium two or three times without paying an introduction fee? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neeranam Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 Watch your credit card invoice when you go to fitness first! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leftcross Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 Good call Neeranam. The reason I left Fitness First was because they stiffed me on my credit card (Landmark). California let you pay cash and don't require CC number ..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conan Posted December 26, 2005 Share Posted December 26, 2005 Just a reminder - this is Thailand - everything is negotiable. How good a negotiator are you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stub Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 I was looking at the Ambassador's fitness centre today. About 14k per year. Monthly rates available but they are a lot higher. They run Aikido, Tai Chi and Aerobics classes, which membership covers. Currently, there is a two-for-one offer on the yearly membership - the pamphlets say this ends 31st Dec, but they were telling me today that it was still available.

stats Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 (edited) If you do a search there is lots of discussion on fitness center in Thailand... Ive also given out some pointers on how to negotiate with this clubs... The lowest you can get in California fitness is 1200THB per month depends on how you hustle the sales people You need to know how to talk to this people in the clubs ... They will try and give you the higest rate ... If you fall for the deal then you end up paying huge $$$ but if ur good enough to play the other way round you might be paying just like the locals pay... Maybe you need me to represent you as your negotiator lol heheheh Edited January 5, 2006 by tytus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frenchFARANGbkk Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 Now the minimum is arount 2000 a month. I have a 1 year membership to sell for 10000 baht, available now ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vegas Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 There's a new one on the corner of Asoke in the newly finishing building that sat empty for 5 years. I have seen it many times, but have never been in. I think it is a Hong Kong/Singapore company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And they plan to have only 1 fitness in Thailand, when CALIFORNIA already planed near 30 ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
