[svaldezi]

What are some of the best gyms in Bangkok? I mean as far as money and quality go? Thank you for any help.

Better to ask in the Bangkok Forum for local knowledge.

I've only tried True Fitness a couple of times. While the Asok location is great, I wasn't impressed by the state and maintenance of their machines.

A high percentage of them of them appear to be broken at any given time.

Seems expensive for what you get. But then again there are even more expensive gyms in BKK.

Just to name two of the non brand gyms that have a 5 star rating, both of which are free if you are a guest at the associated hotel.

Globalist,

DITTO! I agree with you 120%, as soon as my membership expires, I'm going to join WE Fitness! In fact, I might join WE Fitness before my True Fitness membership expires because I'm so fed up with the condition of the equipments and extremely loud music!

I was a member at Fitness First, Landmark Plaza. The location was very convenient for me and the place itself was very good. The only thing they didn't have was a swimming pool, but since we had one at the condominium I didn't mind. Quality was great. Money-wise I guess FF isn't exactly cheap... but I loved the place and spent 6 days per week there which justified the fee.

Fitness First has nice gyms but they sell too many memberships. I gave up on them - Mega Bangna was my local one but there was too much queuing for the equipment. The sales people are awful too - hard selling at its absolute worst.

The best gyms are the small ones, run by enthusiasts. Unfortunately, just like most other small businesses, the big franchises are killing them off.
