Gym Equipment

[blue05]

anyone any advice on where to buy gym equipment for the home in Hua Hin

Better go to a Fitnesscenter, where you get professional advice and where you can train on professional equipment

But if you prefer to do it by your self, you maybe find something on this site: http://www.ultimatefitnessthailand.com/

I read on a different forum (ahem!) that there is a place in Pranburi opposite Tesco which sells gym equipment. Haven't checked it out but will next week.

I can confirm there is a shop opposite the Tesco complex in Pranburi, and from the road it looks as though they have a good range of equipment.

If you buy Equipment that lasts longer then a half year of seriuos training, you will spend at least 200`000 Bath on it. For that you can train many years in a fitness facility

Are you talking about a single piece of equipment?

venice beach is right.Most of the domestic gym equipment available is poorly made and will fall apart.Trying to find someone to service it here is a big problem.
If you want treadmills or stationary bikes,buy a commercial model,it will set you back 70 to 80000bht a piece,but it will be solid and last a long time.
Those universal style all in one bench press lat pull down machines,are badly designed for lifting,and can actually cause damage,plus the machines are cheaply made.
Either spend a good amount of money in a shop in bangkok that has professional equipment or join a good fitness centre where the gym owner will help you with new training ideas,and take in account your age,health and what your goals are.

A quality Treadmill will be around 70-100k (this is just for cardio training)

For a complete training you will also need at least a Barbell, a PowerRack and some Weights.

Cheap All-in-one equipment is only designed for People to buy and not use it. Cause if you use it frequnetly it will fall apart in no time.

and if you need a gym closer to town, the newly opened gym on 102 has 3 floors of training,cardio equipment first floor,plus an outdoor bootcamp style area,and a weights room 2nd floor which i think next week has some more equipment coming from bkk,lat pulldown machine and a few more.
The third floor has been expanded into a larger yoga/aerobics room.
Dean the owner has 25years experience in training,so a wealth of knowledge..

I have been there. Its a nice little place and Deen the Owner seems to have a lot of solid knowledge. But the Standart and amount of equipment is not exactly, what I am looking for.

I understand what you are saying but powerfit102 has only been open 6 weeks and from what i understand theres over 1milllion bht of equpment coming in a few weeks,plus they are expanding next door so now 3 floors high and 3 across,should be ample equipment in town.
I joined powerfit 102 when they were in sam roi yod,its nice to see a business grow into something special,and i think cate and dean the owners really go out of their way to help and meld into the local community.
Its good to see we have a variety of options whether it be up in the hills like vb is spruiking or closer to town.

The only one "spruiking" around is you my friend. I just wanted to let people know, that something is coming up. You dont have to defend your friends Gym at all
