After my workout this morning I just had to do a follow up to my last blog about fitness in BKK and share my Pattaya experience. I won’t ramble on about how awesome I think the Hilton is because I’ll save that for another time but I’m warning you I’m about to rave on and wax lyrical about this gym.
Upon arrival we were warmly greeted by the gym attendant. The space is very small but they pack a lot in. There were 3 each of treadmills and bikes plus a couple of ellipticals and the usual suite of weights. I don’t think I’d like to workout in there when its full.
There was a towel on every state of the art treadmill along with a million dollar view of Pattaya Bay. The machine had a video system and the ability to plug your iPhone in. No sooner had I hopped on did the attendant provide me with a bottle of water and unrolled my towel for me. Wow!
This treadmill didn’t groan when I pushed it to 12kph and handled my 5km run like a pro. I, on the other hand, struggled. Despite the air conditioning the humidity makes it hard. Judging by the guy punishing the elliptical near me I think the people that use this gym are serious about their fitness.
As I started my cool down I thought it was time to have a drink. I fumbled trying to open the bottle and then magically the attendant appeared to open my water. Double wow!
Workout complete it was time to go. Just when I thought our gym experience couldn’t get any better, it did. Our amazing gym attendant offered us ice cold refreshing towels to cool our sweaty brows. I was awestruck, amazed and oh so grateful. I need this guy at my gym.
I love fitness Pattaya Hilton style and judging by how hard I’ve hit the sumptuous breakfast buffet I’ll be needing to hit the gym extra hard!
Sorry, nothing found.
