Wife reported back that Holiday Inn only has about ten machines but pool is good. 1200 per month, 10000 per year for anyone who is interested, also have a sauna.

Today she is going to check out The Shangrila, will report back her "findings"

Wife checked out Shangrila and seemed to think it wasn't worth the extra money so is going to have a one month trial at Holiday Inn

I've had membership to both Shangri La (25k) and Holiday Inn (10K) gyms and there's no comparison, Shangri La is streets ahead in terms of equipment and facilities plus their pool is one of the best in the province. Holiday Inn has old and limited kit and a crap pool.

she doesn't use the pool but did comment Shangrila only has one sauna. i told her to go for the shangrila as not much more money for a year compared to what you pay outside Thailand, but she thinks its not worth the money! looks like I picked a winner there lol !
