JaiLai Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 Have been a member of Tony's for many year but membership has expired and leaving Pattaya soon ( not soon enough! ) so just checking out some other gyms on a daily basis for something to do. Was at Castra today, very very good equipment and facilities, spotless clean, all sorts of cardio equipment and weight machines - all look pretty new, all in working order. It was a little hot inside but hey ho. Also very nice pool and sauna available. All in all a great place to train, 250 baht for a daily pass, can use everything for that price. No doubt Tropo will have something to moan about but IMHO - worth every penny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lemoncake Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Little cardio and old machines there, no interest at all. When was the last time you visited? Because according to OP who was there less than 24 hours ago they had many cardio machines and new weight machines Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raro Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 I'm a regular there. The place is indeed in good shape, but never knew about sauna and pool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barefoot Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Checked the website b/c planning to try it out tomorrow. No mention of a pool, and the daily rate is 100 baht (gym only). Extra 150/day for fitness classes. http://www.thecastra.com/contact_the_castra_gym_pattaya/price_list.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JaiLai Posted March 18, 2013 Author Share Posted March 18, 2013 Sounds like he was at PRS gym Yes, could have been PRS, it's on that road that cuts from 3rd road ( close to fly over at Bali hai ) through to Theppasit road, about 300 meters up on the left with a car park out the back.

kuteguy Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 anyone know how to get to Castra on the cheap. I live near Diana inn (near the avenue shopping centre) and don't have private transport. I don't wan to pay for private moto taxi (how much would that cost) can I use a combination of baht buses to get close to the gym and then walk?

Just go to one of the several Tony's gyms in your area...you're miles away from Castra and no easy way to get their on public transport from central Pattaya. And why would you...Castra is nothing special...just a small neighborhood gym and figuring in round trip transportation, you'll end up spending twice Tony's prices Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kuteguy Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 because Castra has a reasonably priced personal trainer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OMGImInPattaya Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 (edited) because Castra has a reasonably priced personal trainerWhich will be completely negated by your transportation costs and aggravation of getting there and back. If you must use Castra, I suggest renting yourself a moto, which you can get for 100-150 per day as that will be half the cost of taking the moto-dop boys.Castra is at the top of khao Noi/talo. I think khao Talo may have songtaow service so I guess you could take the following songtaow route: Bua khow to South Pattaya...then up to Sukkie...then a white one on sukkie south to the foot of Kao Talo...and then tramsfer again and go all the way up To the 7-11at the top of the hill. Each segment would be 10 baht so that's 80 baht return. I would guesstimate that a moto-dop would be at least 100-150 baht each way or 2-300 return. Its about 7 km each way I would estimate.
