Are there any gyms near Itaewon that allow you to sign up without an ARC? I'm just going to be on a tourist visa for a month or so. Thanks.

Why wouldn't a gym allow you to sign up without an ARC? Don't they like money?

I have no idea. Why does Korea do half the stuff they do against their own financial interest? The last two I was a member of did.

Samwon Fitness in Kyungnidan has a daily entrance of 10,000 won. They do not ask to see ARC for a day pass. They do require the ID number for a membership, so maybe you can take it day by day?

No I'm a whitey. I don't know why they did, maybe it's the same reason that movie theatres ask as well (they need a number put in for their registration software?). I'll check out the body gym thanks.

Negative thanks to Hightop BTW.
