I'll be arriving in Bundang next week and want to buy some cheap weights to use at home (nothing too big, but I don't want to haul them from the U.S.). Can anyone recommend a sports store or something like that? In Japan they had those kinds of things at 100 yen stores- what about Korea?
If you know of a place, please let me know how to get there. Thanks! |

Regardless of where you will live in Bundang, you should expect to pay 70,000-120,000/month for a gym membership. The gym in my officetel was charging $1,100 for a 1 year membership (was because they're now out of business) |

I pay $33 a month for my gym in Sunae. It's small but it has about everything you need.
For home stuff you should be able to find anything you need at an Emart. |

Check to see if there's a gym in your school before you rush out and spend a load of cash. |

Thanks for the tips so far. I will only be in Bundang for a month, and not joining a gym. I'll be about 15 minutes outside of the city, in Seongnam. But an Emart could be a good bet. As far as I know, the only facility the place I'm staying has is a racketball court. |

I pay $40.00 a month for a membership at one of the We've buildings. (Yeah, yeah, there's probably dozens of We've buildings.) It's between Migum Station and Jeongja. The gym is huge and new.
I still don't understand. I paid $60.00 for a crappy little gym in Cheongju. The gym I go to now could easily charge $80.00
To the OP: Bundang and a few of the surrounding areas are expensive. I live in Yong-In and have a really small place. I know that dumbbells don't take up too much space. But if you want a bench press, uh, bench then that will obviously take up a bit of room. |
