Best Khmer style health club for weightlifting with daily rates in Phnom Penh?

Post by jamham »

I am looking for those kind of hotbox gyms where you pay a dollar a visit. Looking for the best equipment and maybe a fan or two turning inside. Not exactly Cool Hand Luke style, but $2 or less a visit. I am willing to travel from riverside. No pain, no gain, right?

There's an open air gym off street 154 near Riverside. It down a side alleyway. I haven't been there for a long time so maybe it is still there. There are plenty of weights and a few machines, cables etc. The place is normally a right mess with weight scattered everywhere. The bars have a nice little coating of rust on them so wear gloves.

It was $1 a visit or $2 if you want to use the treadmill. If you can't find it I will be walking up that street tomorrow and get an exact location

I saw that place yesterday. It is a mess. Garbage on the floor, cobwebs on the machines. Horrible.

Do these sorts of places typically have anything in the way of showers?

I did warn you...

Join the Cambodiana Hotel Physique club. They have a deal on at the moment. You'll pay about $65 for a one month les 10% promotion, cheaper for 3 months and with a 15% discount.

Big fully equipped air con gym, hardly anyone ever there, plus a nice outdoor pool you can use. Good clean changing room, lockers, steam room, sauna and showers with soaps. Free chilled drinking water. Towels. It's great...

I joined for 6 month for $250 all in. That's $1.40 a day. Go on... live a little... treat yourself...
