Gym Hoàn Kiếm- Whey Gym 2 - Gym in Hanoi

There are no windows at this gym , it is like working out in the basement all the time , no sun lights at all. But they have nice Air Con which they will not switch it on until 9am or 10:00 am. Staffs speak 0 English ! Be prepare to use Goggle translate ! At VND 480.000 monthly fee or VND 70.000 daily pass, you are getting a bargain comparing to other local gyms at this scale in terms of equipments and setup. Restrooms are clean enough. The only downside is they do not accept Visa/Master credit cards from overseas. Their bottle waters are pretty reasonably priced.

Yeah this is a wonderful gym, location can be a little tricky to find as it’s located in a building on the left of what looks like an officials car park with a security booth. The gym itself is huge and relatively clean. There’s an excessive amount of equipment, more benches than I’ve ever seen in a single gym and some unique back and chest machines too. If you’re a gym enthusiast this place is definitely worth checking out. I was staying in a hotel in old Quarter and it was less than a 15 minute walk. The walk itself is also interesting as you have to cross quite a main road, and depending on when you decide to go, if like me, you’re trained in the morning, then you’re pretty much playing Crossy Road with all of the am traffic. That will either excite you or frighten you, haha. 75k a day, literally like $3 AUD is insane. I saw some Gym‘s local to me that were charging 200k a day and did not look this well equipped. For whatever reason like other gyms, it’s incredibly hot. However, personally, I enjoy use as it gets to me in the zone for my workout. Be prepared to bring cold water and a towel especially if you sweat a lot normally, it’ll be like a sauna here for you. Could not recommend this place more highly, will definitely return for the remainder of my trip and future trips. Look for ‘The One’ building then you’ll be set.

This gym left me conflicted. It's on the second floor of The One tower as "Fit24" Pros: - Very well equipped, good redundancy, even some esoteric machines I haven't seen anywhere else. - Relatively cheap (70k day pass) - Air conditioned locker room and showers. - Water to buy - Cool down area to sit at Cons: - No lockers! You leave your bag in front of the reception on the floor. There are lockers, but all rented out and none free. - No towel service, most people don't seem to use even their own towels (but most people also don't seem to sweat) - Very weak AC. I have never sweated so much. - People don't put weights and stuff back - No protein shakes to buy, while they literally have a tub of protein standing at the reception desk.

One of the best gym I have been!!! Only for 70k for a day, they will give you a coupon so that you can come back anytime within that day. The 1.5L water is just 15k so you do not have to buy outside (no water refilling station inside). The gym is amazingly spacious with lots of equipments for legs. Dumbells are measured by kg and only up to 50kg, most of the plates are in kg. This gym has a lot of things its crazy such as: Cables, leg curls, leg extensions, smith machines etc, it also has a fighting ring in the middle and few punching bags. There is also a lounge where you can just sit and relax with dim lights, it is very cozy. Washroom and chaning room is big as well with showers.

I purchased a day pass and was assigned a locker by a staff member. I locked the locker and left my wallet inside while I was working out. When I returned to my locker during my workout, I saw the staff member with my wallet, counting the cash inside. I immediately confronted him in the changing room and noticed that 1,512,500 Vietnamese dong (approximately €50) was missing from my wallet. He denied taking any money and refused to admit any wrongdoing. Since the discussion was clearly going nowhere, I decided not to continue arguing. This was an extremely disturbing experience. My locker had been locked, yet my wallet had clearly been accessed. I no longer felt that my belongings were safe. Based on what I personally witnessed, I cannot recommend this gym. Be very careful with your valuables if you decide to train here.
