Gym recommendation in Chiang Mai

[patricia carter]

I will be staying in Chiang Mai for the month of December and want to join a health club while we are there; we will be in the Nimman area; any suggestions?

Better to ask in the Chiang Mai forum.

There is a gym right in the Nimman area...about soi 8.  A few hundred meters west of the main road.  Also is one at KSK Mall....both would have a one month option.  Gyms come and go...and are all prone to the usual gym problems.  Just wait till you arrive, it is highly likely you will be able to find something decent at a fair price.  You can always hike to the waterfall...

 

Power House Fitness Center...Nimman soi 6, about 200 m behind Tesco Express.

Here is a good summary...

Powerhouse is OK- not a load of equipment, but enough to do a decent workout- there's a good selection of cardio equipment and a few different fitness classes, if that's your thing.  They're currently offering some good membership deals, and they'll negotiate a rate.

 

I highly recommend visiting any gym you're considering joining at the time of day you'll actually be working out, as some become very crowded during prime time.

There is couple of gyms around.
Too many factors to consider, for example what time you will usually go to do your workout.
If this is morning or midday, then probably you can choose any gym that is closest to you and have a good equipment.
If you plan to go in the peak time, for example 6 or 7 or 8pm, then probably Harris Fitness would be the best.
Also, depends what kind of workouts you like to do - mostly cardio, or weight lifting, maybe crossfit etc. Another thing is do you need A/C ?
Try to precise  your question more, and we will be more able to recommend something.
You can consider Powerhouse, Harris Fitness, Go gym, Fitness Thailand as your best options.

Harris gym is very good for aerobic classes, many women attend, instructors are female. Equipment is decent, lot's of bikes and treadmills.
