Excellent info. I anticipate moving from Pattaya to UT in October to a place out near the airport. I had two pretty bad heart attacks in April. Now that the stent is installed, I've been fairly serious about delaying heart attack number three as long as possible.

A few weight machines are nice, but most of what I'm looking for is a treadmill and recumbent bike without needing to buy my own. I suspect if I had them at home, they would end up not getting used. So far, making the effort to get to the gym here in Pattaya, I'm getting to the gym M-F. I need that to continue when I'm in UT.

There's also a gym at the driving range behind the airport.

Pompui, with the help of your friend could you be more specific as to the exact location of UD Fitness. Is that the new one that Parrot told us about a few weeks back that was to open the first week of November?

I understand there is no aircon there if that is your requirement just fans and the equipment is on each of the 3 or 4 floors.There are other pricing structures for monthly or yearly. 8)
I think it is next door to that sandwich shoppy that a certain individual tried to have a go at :-"

A/C...WTF :D

If that's a requirement, than Fitness First would be more suitable. I'm guessing that Fitness First will be frequented by Udon's elite/HISO's in their Versaci warm-up's, Gucci trainers and Starbucks to go cups...looking like they just stepped out of the beauty salon next door.

I emailed BigGymCity the other day. He's selling off all the equipment and is done with the gym.

I have heard about that big city gym, but that website you posted says it is closing down before I even arrive. But I will definitely be checking out some of these places you mentioned--
Damn, that's news to me. You think someone at gym would have mentioned it.

The new fitness facility at the Sports Stadium looks to be nearly completed and much of the [new] equipment is in place. I stopped by this AM for a quick peek. I tried get general information from the security guard posted out front, but being that he was heavily intoxicated it was difficult to understand anything he said. He did let me take a self tour of the facility and I snapped a few pics.

The gym takes up the entire 2nd floor of the building and has 3 individual rooms; aerobics/yoga, cardio machines, and a weight room. On the outside are cardio machines and plenty of them and all new equipment. The weight room is limited on free weights (dumb bells), mostly weight lifting machines. There are lockers (maybe 12"x12") in the cardio room and appear to be for small personal items (keys, wallet/purse) and only for daily use. I didn't see a locker/shower room on the 2nd floor and the ground floor appears to be all office spaces.

According to the guard it's due to open at the end of this month (?), and from another source I'm told it's 30bt a day.

Thanks Papa! I have a real interest in using this facility once it's up and running, so I hope you'll keep us posted on the progress. I suppose like so many of these types of places, it will be jam packed in the very beginning; however, once the newness wears off, the lazy and undisciplined ones will wean themselves out and the dedicated ones will have plenty of space to work out. By the end of February it should be a good place to work out!

Does anyone know where I can purchase a simple weight lifters bench without weights. I have seen Big C has crunching benches but they do not adapt back into a basic bench. Any suggestions where to purchase one will be much appreciated.
