There's an athletic club in the hotel attached to MBK. Really nice. Then there's Fitness First at Paragon, but I found em to be crooks. True Fitness is at Central World, also crooks. Now Fitness under Phayathai BTS is ok, but kinda run down, and crowded. And there's a small, prison style gym on the east side of Phayathai Rd., between MBK and Ratchathewi BTS. I bet Chulalongkorn University has a nice fitness center too that you can use on a daily rate. Regarding trainers, Now, True, FF, and the athletic club should all have English speaking staff available.

Yeah, the athletic club is Olympic Club. You'll need to phone them for fees.

I believe it's between 2 and 3K per month, depending on the length of contract. It's a really nice facility and the staff are very polite. No hard sales like you get at FF or True.

thanks for your advices , 2k 3 k seems reasonable if they are polite

If you wanted to travel to Din Daeng they have the the thai-Japanese Youth Centre, which has an annual fee believe it or not of 40baht/year for an adult, yes 40 baht.

You can find the website by googling the name, as it outlines the rates etc. I have pasted in italics an article that was written describing some of the things they have there.

"The gym is a tad old school, but its big and has everything you need. They have a full size boxing/MMA ring. Lots of bags, lots of space to skip, run, jump and whatever else you like doing.

They have two floors of equipment; the first proper 80s bodybuilder style; solid plate weights and machines for every part of the body, and then an upstairs which is more leisure-centre like. Theres a nice ab section upstairs too.

It doesnt stop there, either. They have

A full size running track (stadium)

A full size football pitch with beautiful grass

An Olympic -sized swimming pool (you need a health certificate from the doctor to use this. Very clean.)

Squash courts

Outdoor park-style gym
