Describe a typical gym in Busan, South Korea. What type of equipment, cardio and weights, will I find there?
March 5th, 2010 | by admin |Does the equipment resemble what I’d find in the US? Please include as much description as possible so I’ll know what I’ll find when I move to Busan.
The equipment is similar to what you’d find in the US. When I was living in the US I went to 24 Hour Fitness most often and the gyms here are like that only smaller, not open 24 hours and more expensive.
You’ll find machines to work all parts of your body, treadmills and free weights. The gym next to my apartment has a sauna and a swimming pool too, but they don’t all have that. You will get a membership card, a key for your locker, a towel and shorts and a T-Shirt to work out in each day if you want (or you can bring your own). It costs 85,000won per month, but I’m in an expensive area of Busan. It’s open from 7am to 11pm. I haven’t seen one yet that’s open 24 hours, although there could be somewhere. I’ve seen gyms for as low as 40,000won per month, but I’d say the average rate is about 60,000won.
