I figure it’s been a while since I reviewed a place, this week’s honor goes to the Racquet Club. A leisure center style gym based in the heart of Bangkok. For other gyms in Thailand check out my gyms in Bangkok<\/a> \u0441\u0442\u0430\u0442\u044c\u044f.<\/p>\n

What is the Racquet Club?<\/h2>\n

The Racquet Club is a gym for affluent Thais and expats living in Bangkok<\/a> (such as Paleo Robbie<\/a>). I say this because their pricing is pretty expensive and from my time there the clientele seems to be rich kids who make money online<\/a> and older working professionals.<\/p>\n

\"\u0420\u0430\u043a\u0435\u0442\u043d\u044b\u0439<\/p>\n

Their center is pretty sick, they have 4 rooftop tennis courts, basketball court, 12 badminton courts, 4 squash courts, two swimming pools, a gym that has everything you want, spin classes, yoga and much more. Once you become a member you do not need to pay for any of the classes, they all come in with your membership. You get one personal trainer trainingand the rest cost 200-400 baht I think.<\/p>\n

You can also get racket coaching from 300-400 baht an hour.<\/p>\n

they offer towels, have changing rooms, showers and saunas. Racquet Club even has a shuttle bus that drops you off at Phrom Phong BTS every 45 minutes.<\/p>\n

A full list of what they have can be found on their website \u0437\u0434\u0435\u0441\u044c<\/a>. If the manager is reading this and you feel like giving me a wicket discount for this review, feel free to \u0441\u0432\u044f\u0436\u0438\u0442\u0435\u0441\u044c \u0441\u043e \u043c\u043d\u043e\u0439 \u0437\u0434\u0435\u0441\u044c<\/a>.<\/p>\n

What I like about the RQ CLUB<\/h2>\n

What I enjoy most about being a member of the RQ Club is that the gym is usually always empty.<\/p>\n

Except for Mondays, the gym is pretty much quiet most of the week meaning I can do whatever I want. There is usually always a free court available (tennis can get busy), the bench is always free and classes are never that full that you can’t get a space. The towels and shower rooms are very clean, the staff speak good English and provide a pretty good customer service standard overall.<\/p>\n
