How we picked
We chose the gyms with the most complete and verified information in our directory. Two of them have been confirmed by the gym owners themselves. No gym paid to be here, and we don't use review scores.
1. Bophut Fitness: the quiet, premium gym
A gym built to avoid the crowds: air-con, lockers, showers, parking and a functional training area, open 7.30 am to 9.30 pm. ฿350 for a day pass. The owner keeps this listing current, so the prices here are confirmed.
2. Koh Fit, Lamai: the fitness resort
Pool, sauna, ice bath, air-conditioned gym and classes, open from 6.30 am. ฿900 for a day pass; monthly training is priced as part of a programme. The place to go if you want a structured week of training rather than a gym membership.
3. Maraleina Sports Resort, Hua Thanon: everything on one site
