theophila Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 Hi! I'm only in town visiting friends and some family for 2 weeks, so I am not looking to purchase for delivery. I was wondering if anyone has some GS (competition steel) or RKC (cast iron) kettlebells that I can share use of (or rent!) while I'm in town! 12kg and 16kg would be perfect! I arrive on the 13th and leave the 27th. Please no suggestions of kettlestacks, as they do not work for my training - I am working to eventually (hopefully) build up to 24kg snatches or long cycles for 10 minutes, as it standard for my sex/age class for GS. Not holding my breath for this, but I would be ecstatic if I can continue my training! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theophila Posted November 11, 2013 Author Share Posted November 11, 2013 Alternatively, I would also be grateful if anyone could tell me of a gym or fitness centre with open gym hours where I can either have access to kettlebells, a climbing rope, or any kind of aerial arts/silks/trapeze centre.

CobraSnakeNecktie Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 If that is your pict then I want go on the record to say your smoking hot!!! I'm not aware of kettlebells for sale in CM but a few places in BKK and Phuket sell and ship them. Not exactly cheap though.

CMSteve Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 They sell them at Central in KSK. No idea of gyms or anyone renting them out though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonathan Fairfield Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 There is a Crossfit in Chiang Mai, they'll have kettlebells, you won't be able to rent them but you could attend a class Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMKiwi Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 Very hard to find in CM. As mentioned Central in KSK do sell them and they are RKC type (Cast Iron). Ive been to a few fitness/gym places and none of them had kettlebells. As TheScarf mentioned above, Crossfit may be your best bet unless someone has their own personal kettles Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillageIdiot Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 At first I thought kettlebells had something to do with Thai classical music. Finding out that they were similar to dumbells explained the interest aroused and the knowledgeable answers elicited from TV members. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theophila Posted November 13, 2013 Author Share Posted November 13, 2013 (edited) Thanks for the info. Once again, since I'm leaving on the 27th, I don't seem much point in buying some. I doubt there would be silks either, but any place with a climbing rope (that's not Crossfit)? Edited November 13, 2013 by theophila Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CobraSnakeNecktie Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 I love club bells and kettlebells but when traveling I think people forget they can just use anything that is heavy to get a good workout. Rocks of different sizes. containers filled with water, sandbags, furniture or really anything. The novelty of a different shape, movement or grip is really stimulating. These bar starz guys have a lot of interesting ideas. http://www.barstarzz.com/category/howto/ Or just work on core with something like Foundation training. Even some of the best athletes have deficient cores. http://foundationtraining.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theophila Posted November 13, 2013 Author Share Posted November 13, 2013 (edited) Believe me when I say I understand this. Most of my aerial work is core-based. I just don't know of a way to stay stable and graceful suspended or inverting in mid-air on two strips of fabric otherwise. I also just finished the last 2013 Tough Mudder (Temecula, California) before flying out here. And sitting on a plane for 19 hours after that is fun! Kettlebells are just a small part of my training, but the point is not just to "get a good workout." They are just such a different skillset, and I am training for an upcoming GS competition. I can do barbell snatches, but it's different too. If you can find me 16kg rocks I can do double swings and long cycles with, that would be fantastic!

theophila Posted November 13, 2013 Author Share Posted November 13, 2013 At home I climb, bear crawl, hike, trail run, boulder, trapeze, silks, dance...much of which is a little less accessible in a city, unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm, yeah, but unlike your reply, his post at least contained some information related to the poster's question, which can not be said for your own post. Not seen kettlebells in any gym here myself unfortunately, so can not offer any information. Would assume the OP is aware her/his requirements are quite unusual, and not something one would expect to find in any random city. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
