Podium Jim is a fairly popular gym on Phangane, which is located on the outskirts of Tong Sala, at the beginning of the district Ban Tai Beach. Popular not in the sense that there are crowds of people and have to stand in line for weight or simulator. He is known and in demand among people who not only want to do, but also ready to pull the price tag for subscriptions there. Price above average for the hospital, but even an extra 50-100 baht for someone can be crucial. Catch my review, walked all the time, until was on Phangan.

Podium Gym
Podium Jim is located in a corner two-story building, opposite First Western Hospital. The room is new, bright, air-conditioned. On the second floor there is a cardio-zone, a dressing room and a sauna with jacuzzi. The lower floor is occupied by Matrix simulators and a large number rubberized weights. I liked it there, first of all, because Hall is new and modern. It is important to me and I am ready a little more expensive pay for it. Plus there was always a little people (and I was at the peak season), is conveniently located and there is a sufficient choice of simulators, and not just a weight bar.
Thanks to the air conditioning, you can even come here at the peak of heat the street that frees you the evening hours for other things. Whereas I personally visited cheaper trainers not earlier than sunset – impossible to engage in pleasure. There are a lot of people who don’t consider comfort during training a priority indicator and prefer to train in open halls, where there is a ceiling, machine tools and fans. It turns out that during the day you have to look for yourself shelter from the heat, anywhere in a hotel or in a restaurant. And in the evening, instead of the cultural program you run off calories and lead organism into feeling.

Just in case, I’ll write more about other rooms. Not far from Podium Gym, in the direction of Tong Sala, there is the Body Fitness Center, he too modern, but the reviews are not very good, there’s some kind of muddy host. Prices are the same. But in the Tong Sale itself near the big Tesco (drive past Tesco to the north), there will be a pure Thai gym with a price tag of 180-200 baht per day. And there is Muay Thai there. Battered but budget.
