- Right here,
table tennis in the house.
Table tennis in the gym.
Never seen that before.
And right through here,
we have a Muay Thai ring just here.
If you wanna practise some Muay Thai,
some kickboxing, you can.
Everybody,
20th of February twenty-eighteen.
I'm on my way to Fitness Thailand,
one of the gyms here,
to do a back training session.
I'm walking there at the moment.
I'm on the side of the road as you can tell.
And I'm gonna film that back session.
I'll do a quick review on the gym.
So if you ever come here,
you know what to do.
You know to come and check it out.
Just quickly I want to point out;
check out this wall.
That old dodgy wall,
you can see there.
Now, that is the wall that was essentially built
around the entire old city of Chiang Mai.
And then over time,
it's just eroded away as you can see on my left.
As you can see it runs all the way along.
So that divides the old city from the rest of Chiang Mai.
Anyway, let's go to the gym.
It is almost impossible to cross this road.
It's impossible without dying.
So I'm filming this just in case I die,
this is the last video.
I really don't know how to cross the road in Asia.
I've been here so many times and still haven't learnt.
Here we go!
Yes!
I was there for ten minutes!
Just gonna grab a pre-workout.
This is not my usual pre-workout,
just thought I'd point that out.
So, quickly, before we step in to the gym,
if you're trying to get here,
it's actually hard to find.
When I came here 3 years ago,
I really struggled to find this place.
Even with Google Maps,
and I'll throw that up on your screen,
that's where it is on Google Maps.
But in real life this is what it looks like.
Pizza Hut.
Big computer joint.
Down this street.
You keep walking down this street.
If you have a look left,
big computer plaza runs all the way
down the length of this road.
You'll see 'Icon,
a reddish kind of building,
that's where it is.
Right, and it took me forever to find it years ago.
Um, but yeah.
This will help you.
So yeah, that's it.
Walk straight down there,
and you'll find it.
So, just on the street now.
Just come from there,
computers, computers,
the sign 'COR Café',
turn left.
You walk in here,
then you get to a set of lifts.
Fitness Thailand seventh and eighth floors.
That's it.
Fitness Thailand.
I have no idea.
200, yeah?
Thank you.
(upbeat RnB music)
Alright, folks.
Just finished a training session here.
I did back and bice here today.
I did about 40 - 45 minutes here at Fitness Thailand.
This is the gym,
this is the main floor.
Now, what I don't like about it just real quick,
one or two minutes,
is the floors are tiled.
I don't like that.
I don't think it's good for a gym to have tiled floors.
However, the weightlifting area,
which is straight through there where I was before,
the floors are covered,
not tiled.
Now real quick,
this is actually a really big gym,
it has all the equipment that you need.
There's a cardio section
with all the treadmills on one side near the window.
This room here looks like a group class.
Group training class room,
where they do maybe Pilates and yoga and that kind of thing.
On the other side of this room they've got bikes,
where they do spin and RPM,
and things like that.
And, that's it.
So, costs 200 Baht to get in here for a drop-in session.
So 100 Baht buys four Australian Dollars,
so eight Australian dollars to have access
to this gym here in Chiang Mai.
I'll throw it up on the map exactly where it is
so you can see for yourself where you can find this place.
And, otherwise,
freeweights, cable machines,
everything you would normally expect in a gym is here.
Lots of benches,
lots of dumbbells, and barbells.
Good variety.
The weights don't always match,
so you'll have to work hard finding matching weights.
Um, some dumbbells don't have numbers on them,
so you just have to guess how much they weigh.
Let's go for a walk.
So, this is the front area,
this is the main entrance to the gym.
Upstairs, the upstairs area.
I guess you can buy supplements from this corner right here.
Weight protein, yada yada yada.
If you want a weight protein shake
70 Baht.
70 Baht, about three Australian Dollars.
Right here, table tennis in the house.
Table tennis in the gym.
Never seen that before.
And right through here,
we have a Muay Thai ring just there.
If you wanna practise some Muay Thai,
or some kickboxing, you can.
Check that out.
We've got some rings.
We've got some tyres and some bags.
And some music behind me.
And we've got Chiang Mai out the window.
Alright, just leaving the gym now.
As I mentioned before, back and biceps.
Started with doing deadlifting first.
Heavy sets.
Hadn't done deadlifting in about four months
due to my shoulder injury from my motorbike accident.
So, didn't go as heavy as what I would like to,
but straight from deadlifting into bicep curls,
and from bicep curls without pretty much any rest,
so going from back to bice,
one into the other,
and then going back into deadlifting,
back into biceps curls,
back into deadlifting,
back into bicep curls.
Doing four sets of each.
And then going from, after I finished deadlifitng,
then I went to bent-over dumbbell row.
And I did, I think, four sets of bent-over dumbbell row.
And then-- but I did first set of dumbbell,
bent-over dumbbell row.
Then I went to hammer curl,
bent-over dumbbell row, hammer curl,
bent-over dumbbell row, to hammer curl.
So, from back to bicep.
Back to bicep, back to bicep.
And then I-- what else did I do?
That's pretty much it.
I usually do three exercises
or four exercises per muscle group.
I didn't have time today
'cause I have to a Muay Thai training class
in about thirty minutes from now.
But hopefully you enjoyed the footage.
If you have any questions let me know.
This is the gym, come check it out if you're in Chiang Mai.
It is pretty awesome.
That's it.
See you guys, ciao.
