Get sweaty and juiced up on adrenaline as you visit one of these gyms in Chiang Mai. Whether you are looking for some cardio, endurance or just to lift something heavy, we’ve got you covered.
Moo Baa Strongman Gym
Welcome to the world of dead weights, farmer walks, hammer hits and yoke lifts. This is Chiang Mai’s first gym dedicated to strongman style workouts — focusing on lifting, pulling and bench pressing the heaviest thing you physically manage. The owner can help you train when you visit, but apart from that you are left to chalk your palms and lift. They have all kinds of equipment, such as log weights, yoke, bench presses, giant tyres, and weights of all shapes and sizes. 80 baht a day or 1,100 baht a month. If you want to sign up for a year, taking ‘the test’ will give you half off! All you need to do is lift your bodyweight overhead, deadlift twice your body weight and farmer walk ¾ of your body weight on each hand — piece of cake!
Open 6am – midnight
144/1 Moo 14 Suthep Road, Soi 7 (Next to Uniloft Apartments)
