Here now..using coco fitness..4th fl Mike's mall. 2 week membership I think was 1500...decent selection of free weights, plate loaded machines, and cable stations.  Cardio equipment is generally good, but treadmills could be disappointing if used to working out on some of the units in big or high end gyms back home.. Not overly busy any of my visits so far and typically go between 11a and 3p..no ac 7a to 1030 or 8p to 10p..Fans but no ac..

I live here and have used the following:

Cocos, has what ya need, ocean view but not enough options for equipment. Always someone using what you need it seems. Treadmills were good, but now I guess not so much.

Muscle factory in Pratumnak, best gym for weights, can always find what you need. However, only 6 or 7 treadmills and half don't work. So I stopped going since I want my cardio after weights.

Sun Fitness- This is where I settled. Has what ya need, plenty of working treadmills. It does get crowded at times, but ya just push through it lol.

Depends on your requirements, there are loads of gyms in Pattaya these days. 

what is it you are looking for?

remember when it was just Tony’s? Dark times

They've upped the price to 2500 per month, I know it's got a swimming pool & the gym is decent but it's ridiculously expensive now.

CoCo's is excellent.

The gym is large, not crowded, excellent location, and the equipment is in good shape.

Coco has great views of Pattaya beach while on the treadmills, has everything you need.

Fitness 7 in avenue is also decent, fairly close to coco fitness. Most of the gym is not air conditioned though.

Fitness 7 had the laziest staff on planet earth when I was a member there. Never went round to clear the weights up and barely left reception. 
 

The members gym etiquette was awful too, nobody put weights away. 
 

Most of the fitness girls have left there now. Too 

Human strength gym on Pratamnak 4.

Open walls. Plenty of space . No AC but fans do the job well. Friendly staff. No need to bring your own water here it's cheap.

That was my impression as well. 

Most of the equipment people will want to use is in the non-aircon area. It wasn't bad in Dec-Jan with just a fan blowing, but when the humidity went up in Feb it got too uncomfortable for me.  I ended up going back to CoCo. I also missed their protein shakes.  Only good thing about Fitness 7 is that it's not as busy, but there is a reason for that.

Great potential when it opened. Good location and 24/7 access is great. But like everything in the Avenue is dying a slow, sad death 

Just wanted to update gym info for anyone interested.

I used Muscle Factory for a month. Its not air conditioned but its the best for weights, has multiple options, you never have to wait. But treadmills mostly dont work and its far from Central.

Sun Fitness, I used this most the year. About 1000 a month has everything you need but... its become to crowded at any hour now, to cramped lots of guys and girls playing on phones sitting at stations. Many people wont let you share when their sitting.

So I said enough is enough, starting to get gym rage.

I found the best gym, its called the Brick. Its close to soi 6. Its 1800 a month, super nice, like working out at home. They have everything and its never crowded. 

It seems like a place the Thais use, I dont see many farangs just Thais but its kinda high so lol. So if your tired of the riff raff and crowds, pay a little more and be willing to go about 8 minutes down the road from central. Its better than LA Fitness in Dallas in my opinion. Just wanted to let gym people know you dont have to settle for central gyms if your unhappy.

In general what is the daily drop in price you see at the gyms in the area?

If your looking to just pay daily as you go, its 200 - 250 a day. Painful enough to just do the month unless your only staying a week.

thanks, is the Brick  air conditioned? and hours of operation?

Yes its air conditioned. Its probably the best gym in town in my opinion. I been using it for a week now. Always just a few people, and mainly just Thai people.

Mon - Fri 8am to 10pm

Sat and Sun, closes 9pm

Im surprised no one ever talked about it before. I stay next to Central Mall. On motor bike, I timed just under 5 minutes, going average speed.

You could take baht bus, get out around soi 6/1, across street there is a street. Id say walking, 5 minutes or less. Its not inconvenient at all once you start going.

I dont like the central gym crowds or the riff raff. This place looks hi so, employees look happy, good ac, quality equipment and plenty of it. Members all appear to be people with good manners and personality.

Alot of treadmills in the upstairs gym, they all work. Its a breath of fresh air to me.

If you go, they will make you fill out a sheet with your email, info etc... before they give you a tour.

They will try and upsell body fat screening, trainers, but just say you only want membership (I took the 3 month plan all paid up front) 1800 a month.

I know that might be a turn off for many but to me I love it. Keeps the riff raff out and I know Im dead serious about the gym. Im not afraid of wasting money. I know Ill be there at least 5 days a week. Going to the gym is my job in retired life lol.

Yeah I'm only staying in Thailand for 10 days this next trip, with time split between Pattaya and Bangkok. Appreciate the info.

Do any of the gyms mentioned in this thread have any assault bikes ? (Example photo attached)

I would assume they'd have them but maybe not.

Appreciate the fact that you are using different gyms.  Just wanted to pick your brain if you don't mind.  Seems like the best 2 in the central area are Coco and The Brick (I'll be staying at the Areca Lodge). 

Which is the better for free-weights and adjustable benches? What are the monthly rates for each, if you have the info?

How is the aircon at each?

Any info you can give me to help decide would be much appreciated.

I wouldnt consider Brick Central. Its on a Soi directly across from soi 6/1.

Their both 1800 a month and both have what you described regarding free weights. Brick has more and its better quality equipment (modern).

Coco will be crowded and cramped. If I was coming for vacation I would pick Brick if working out is a must. 

Ive been here a year and the central gyms have become annoying due to crowds and people on vacation. Brick doesnt have vacation people hardly. 

You might do fine in Cocos. Both are air conditioned.

Ill take better pics and post again to show all the weights. 

From Areca you could walk to cocos. You would need a baht bus on second road or motor bike to get to Brick but its a quick drive to soi 6.
