Fitness First Club Iconsiam — Local services in Khlong Ton Sai Subdistrict

Not a serious gym—many gimmicks, trying to be like an “Equinox” gym in the USA but lacking the foundation. The side benefits are cool, but they forgot to make the core product good—the gym itself. It’s advertised as 4,000 square meters, but in reality, the weights area is at most 500 square meters.

PROS:

Free flavored water, free coffee, and a nice sitting area.

Pool with a very nice view. (But honestly, most buildings in BKK have a pool, so it’s not that special.)

Nice cardio area.

Dyson hair dryer in the bathrooms (very worn, but still cool).

CONS:

The weights area is a joke. Only 1 Smith machine and only 1 hip abduction machine for thousands of members. Not even a single machine for hip thrusts. This setup is acceptable for a condo/hotel gym, not a 3,500 baht/month gym.

The price is insane. Even with a 24-month subscription, it’s 3,000+ baht/month—almost $100. A one-day pass is 1,070 baht (about $30). Even in the USA, gyms rarely charge that much.

They have only one piece of each essential machine. Some people sit on a machine for 30 minutes, doing 5 reps and then taking a 10-minute phone break in between. You end up waiting and waiting… This might be acceptable at a 1,000-baht gym, but not at this price.

The staff lies about the lack of a free trial (there is one) and tries to lock you into a minimum 5-month contract.

Overcrowded even early in the morning and at noon. You still end up waiting for machines for long periods—even if you come at 1 p.m. on a weekday.

Summary: This place has the potential to be the best gym in Thailand, but they need to completely rethink the weights area. Just copy the setups at gyms like Elite Gym Pattaya or Sun Fitness Pattaya—places that charge 70% less but still have multiple Smith machines, hip abduction machines, hip thrust machines, and leg...

Yeah, I visit here since the Day1. Located on 7th floor. simply take an escalator nearby Momo Paradise from 6th floor. You can witness the state of art of exercising facilities. A number of exercising classes from Yoga,Cross functional training to Bodypump are available here.

However, the quantity of machine is somehow questionable. Is it still sufficient during the rush hour. (after the pre-sale member session - July 2019 onward). The open cardio area isn't huge as much as I expected, even it's obviously larger than Sathorn Square branch.

A number of classes is explicitly not yet available by month and some of construction sites is still ongoing. you can notice some noise in Bathroom even they're try to minimize those sound pollution.

This can offset with and gorgeous salt water temp-controlled swimming pool (25x12m. and 1.25m. depth) with the panoramic view of Bangkok high-rise Skyscepter. They provide workout kits( Jersey and Shorts) Towels and bathrobe without additional charges. Brings swimming suit/outfit, they are not allow those who wearing FitnessFirst's workout kits to swim.

I'd suggest to both Thai and expats here. Some trainers have well spoken English. if you guys are living or working in this neighbourhood. This is the place where you deserve for. (3,000 bath/month, but there has a lucrative discount up to 50% to those AIA Vitality insurer. Thus 1,500 bath/momth is a...

While Fitness First Icon Siam positions itself as a top-tier club with premium pricing, my experience as a long-term member suggests that the services provided do not always reflect the cost.

Recently, as COVID-19 restrictions eased, I noticed that the club removed alcohol gel stations and reduced the availability of cleaning agents and cloths for sanitizing equipment. This decision seems concerning, especially given the ongoing public health concerns such as monkeypox, which the World Health Organization and Thailand's Department of Disease Control have identified as an epidemic, with potential transmission through contact.

Despite contacting the company via email and discussing this twice with the team—once with the front office and once with the manager—there has been no apparent response or action taken to provide alcohol-based hand rubs or similar health precautions.

As a member, I find the lack of proactive measures to ensure the health and safety of the members at a club of this supposed caliber...
