University and Youth Center facilities aside, there are a lot of budget gyms in Thailand which costs around 700 baht to 2,000 baht a month.
Let’s take a look at how to find them.
The cheapest workout facilities tend to be the small scale indoor and outdoor gyms scattered throughout the city. Good for doing free weight workouts or using some cardio machines, these are a decent upgrade over your own building’s or hotel’s facilities.
There will be plenty of treadmills, elliptical machines, barbells, dumbbells, squat racks and similar equipment.
Indoor gyms come with showers and lockers and are often in townhouses near residential areas. The cheaper choices will be without air condition or even outdoors jungle gyms, so be prepared to get a good sweat going.
Depending on location, prices tend to vary between 100 baht and 400 baht for one day. These kind of gyms also make up the majority of places that offer day passes. Monthly prices tend to be between 700 baht and 2,000 baht.
The easiest way to find a gym in this category is to ask the local motorcycle taxis on your street for fitned, or fitness. Also, you can check the day pass gym listing below. Most of them fall under this category.

If you are looking to join classes or travel a lot, you can also check out Classpass. It’s a month-by-month subscription that allows you to join the classes of any of their partners.
There are a lot of smaller, independent and higher end gyms in Bangkok that are part of it. Offered programs range from AquaBiking and Crossfit to Yoga and Zumba. Downside is that you are not able to go to the same class more than three times per month.
Gyms use it as a marketing tool and will try hard to upsell you when you come in on a Classpass.
