If overcrowded weight rooms full of sweaty, shirtless men aren’t your idea of a fun gym experience, then this list is for you. There are so many better options in Ho Chi Minh City — gyms with aerobic fitness classes, boxing, squat racks and machines designed to strain every little fiber of muscle in your body.

1. Body Shape - Gym Thao Dien

The variety of equipment at Body Shape is enough to make any cross-fit enthusiast delirious with excitement. No matter how strange your workout preferences, they’ve got what you need — even TRX.

2. Star Fitness

3. UFC Gym Vietnam

Gym

Even if you don’t plan on fighting in the octagon, it’s pretty damn cool that this gym has one. They bill themselves as a gym for elite fighters, but they also welcome people looking for a more casual workout. UFC Gym is an international brand that provides a world-class training experience. You can focus on your own martial arts discipline, or you can mix it up and try others to round out your skills. They also have classes throughout the day, so you don’t have to change your schedule to fit in your workout.

5. Saigon River Club

If you prefer to exercise in luxury, Saigon River Club is the gym for you. They have a pool, juice bar, spa and as modern a weight room as you’ll ever find. They’re more of a fitness club than just a gym — a fancy place to enjoy yourself and escape the madness of the city.

6. Fit24

The Fit24 brand has several locations throughout the city. They have spacious weight rooms with modern equipment, plus rooms for all the different kinds of classes they offer. Since Fit24 is a large brand, you can count on them for consistency.

9. Maxfit

Gym

If you live in District 3 and enjoy fitness classes, Maxfit has an impressive lineup: Zumba, Jamfit, Fight Fit, Yoga, Bum and Tum, Core Fit and others.

Hundreds of glowing reviews, a boxing ring, an octagon, giant tires and all the strength and conditioning equipment you’d expect of a top tier gym. You really cannot go wrong with Saigon Sports Club. If you live in District 7, or if you’re training to be an elite fighter, this is the gym for you.
