All I've seen is one near SPY club. How is it? How much is it?

Where are there other nearby gyms and what are the prices?

The one I use is just around the Corner of Noksapyeong, near the english book store and the Lexus Dealership.

Its 60 000 a month and this includes access to the pool. You can even get a lesson for free, which is not worth much except you get exclusive use of the lanes and dont have to share it with 60 koreans, only about 20 ( even less as they drop off during the month)

Thanks! That sounds like a good option for me.

ANy other gyms out there, everyone?

2 other choices, the basement of the hamilton hotel very tiny but you can pay by the visit (6,000 won or so).

the other one is Samwon Fitness. you head towards namsan tunnel and where the kimchi pots are for hbc instead of following them you go right and stay right, you'll walk past a rok army base a church and a grocery store, as you head up the hill on the right you will see it, its in the bottom of the building but not a basement, if pay for 6 months it'll run you 60k/month, decent facillities

What are the hours of the Samwon gym?
And the one with the pool?
Is that the one in front of the elementary school?

The One with the Pool is just north of Noksapyong Station. Keep walking through Itaewon towards the Seoul Tower, The road naturally curves to the right, then Yes it is near an elementary school, and has a number of flags on it.

Its open 6 to 10 Monday to Saturday

Closed every other Sunday, and open 10 - 6 on every other Sunday

I checked out the one by Noksapyeong. The pool did look really nice, especially for the price, and they had a ton of treadmills. Unfortunately, the weightroom is tiny and super-crowded, unless there is another section of it I couldn't see.
