Best gym in Manila?
What’s the best gym in Manila/BGC aside from Kerry Sports Manila?
Kerry Sports is around ₱9k/month, and I’m willing to pay that if it’s genuinely the only “nice” gym in Manila. However, I’d prefer not to have to pay for an expensive condo near Kerry plus a ₱9k/month gym membership if there are good alternatives elsewhere.
For reference, this is what I mean by a “nice” gym. I’m used to the gyms in Thailand, and I’m finding the typical Manila gyms a bit frustrating:
- Good air conditioning. This is probably my biggest issue. I’m tired of having to ask Anytime Fitness staff to turn on the AC every time I work out. I’ve even been told that if I move to another section of the gym, I need to go to the office and ask them to turn on the AC in that section. I’d really prefer a gym where the AC is simply on throughout the gym.
- Well maintained - clean, equipment in good condition, etc.
- Good selection of equipment - large dumbbell area, lots of machines, multiple squat racks, etc.
- Not too crowded. I work out during off-peak hours, so I mainly care about how busy the gym is between roughly 9 AM and 4 PM.
I’m primarily interested in weight training, so things like a pool, basketball court, etc. aren't particularly important to me.
Thanks in advance!
