I am flying to Korea in just over a week and want to know if anyone knows a good gym near my apartment, which is 5mins walk from Sunae station Bundang?

What times are gyms typically opened and what prices would I be looking at? Also I hate gyms with just body builders and young groups of guys running a muck pretending to be tough all huddled together. So what is the mix of people you usually find at a gym in Korea as I would like this to be the place where I first make some friends.

I also love playing soccer/football and I am quite good having played my whole life and I know here (Australia) Koreans make teams and groups to play for fun on Sundays. Does anyone know a good place to play on a Sunday which would be easily accessible from Sunae Station and which is for fun but quite good players?

Thanks!

No idea on the gym, as I'm only at the researching stage of deciding whether to apply but my research has thrown up a Sunday Football League that a lot of foreigners seem to play in. If you google 'SSFL', it should be one of the top results.

There is a gym in nearly every aparment building and there's also a Bally Fitness. That one is $130 a month. Others are similar in price but if you like taking classes, it has the most variety.

$130 a month? That is way overpriced! I wouldn�t even pay that here in Australia and I am on just over 60k a year. I think I will just run in the mountains and buy some free weights! LOL $130 a month pffffff! Am I moving to Paris or Korea? No I don't need classes as I am fit and just want to maintain muscle and keep up my stamina for soccer.

Please tell me playing soccer on Sunday isn't $130 a month!

It's highway robbery, but you don't have to give into the bandits. The Tancheon river is nearby and there's parkland alongside it with a bike path that goes all the way into Seoul.

look up Bundang Social Club (BSC) on facebook, there are some people wanting to play soccer...
