I'm moving there next week, and the prices at sports nine are high. It's 1,200,000 for 1 year, and the free weight section is seriously lacking for that price. I heard there is another place close to Samsung Plaza. Does anyone know the name or prices? THanks

Not sure about Seouhyon, but there are other ones around Sunae and Jeongja. Check out some other threads on Bundang. A few of them have been mentioned

SpoLife is in Sunae/Jeongja, a little down the street from the Burger King.

There's a popular gym in Ori, too, but I don't know the name.

There's a gym in Sunae, in the basement of an apartment complex. I forget the name of the complex---TresBelle, or the one next to it. Others on this board have talked about it, and talked about joining it even though they don't live in the building.

Unfortunately, decent gyms are quite expensive, so get used to paying a lot per month. The 1,200,000 per year isn't that unusual.

I found this page from the Olympic Sports Center in Seohyun, about 400 meters from Seohyun station:

Looks like it's between 66-77,000/month, depending on the hours which your membership allows you to go.
