My Notes on Fitness in Bangkok
I confess to be a gym freak. I am one of those that will check out the gym first, before anything else, right after I check-in to my hotel. And to begin with, if the hotel does not have a gym, I am not even there.
So for those out there like me who wants to keep fit while on the road, these are ...
Bangkok hotels with Fitness Centers:
Banyan Tree
Banyan Tree’s deluxe fitness center makes this modern hotel a great choice for those looking to keep fit. And later wind down at the renowned Bayan Tree spa?
Pathuwan Princess
The gym sounds impressive already. It’s called “The Olympic Club” and features a huge number of free weights, two group exercise rooms, tennis courts, basketball gym, etc etc etc ...
JW Marriott
This hotel also features one of the best fitness centers, with just about every ‘Cybex’ weight machine you would want. Also located on the same floor is the JW’s spa. Voted the best men’s spa in Bangkok!
Other Fitness Centers:
These international chain of fitness centers are great because some membership package includes use of the gym in different countries. Be sure to bring your membership card along when on the road…
