8 Centers with the Best Personal Trainers in Bangkok

Services Offered

We chose centers with personal trainers who offer different coaching programs that can target each client’s specific needs. Also, additional services such as rehabilitation and nutrition coaching are plus points in our book.

Credentials

We based these on the achievements, certifications, background, and experience of each fitness center and its trainers.

Professionalism

Of course, working with a personal trainer requires close contact. We only chose those who are encouraging, motivational, and who are able to make specialized programs fit for each client.

Facilities

Since most personal training sessions are conducted in the studio or center, we only chose those with clean facilities, well-maintained equipment, and an accessible location.

Client Satisfaction

Finally, we based this on our experiences in the studio and also the feedback we received from our surveys.

  • Has a wide range of services
  • Strong focus on nutrition
  • Individualized programs
  • Has a diverse range of personal trainers

Cons

  • No walk-ins

  • On the pricey side

Aspire is a state-of-the-art boutique gym and a private personal training studio in the heart of Bangkok. If you need a program that targets your holistic needs, Aspire is the best place to go because of its modern and scientific approach.

We were impressed to see their medical advisory of endocrinologists, genetic specialists, physiotherapists, nutritionists, and exercise psychologists. It looks like this impressive team of professionals can help people in need of a lifestyle transformation.

Furthermore, the programs at Aspire aim to help clients through science-based individualized programs, which consist of strategic nutrition, mindset, movement, private performance coaching, and guidance on lifestyle habits.

From our experience at Aspire, we noticed that they are unlike mainstream commercial gyms in the city. Notably, it is smaller but features good-looking facilities and the latest equipment.

Also, unlike other gyms, Aspire is focused on personal trainer sessions. We like that they offer a free strategy session to formulate an individualized approach for each client.

Another thing that we like is its Clean & Lean Transformation Program which is perfect for people who want to lose weight. We found the package tempting because of its science-based workout programs, nutritional coaching, and a dedicated personal trainer, among others.

Additionally, this Clean & Lean Transformation Program has produced successful results in over a thousand clients since Aspire was established in 2002. We think that this program is outstanding in helping people transform their entire lifestyle and not just their bodies.

Pros

  • Offers personal training using EMS, a fast-growing fitness concept
  • Only 25 minutes per session
  • Inexpensive rates

Cons

  • Only offers EMS
  • Only established in 2017

FiTin25 is a fitness studio in the heart of the Silom business district, and it specializes in using Electric Muscular Stimulation (EMS) technology.

Interestingly, EMS works through impulse currents from a machine for a total body workout. If you are interested in trying out new fitness concepts, definitely stop by FiTin25.

It was this fast-growing fitness trend that led us to check out Fitin25. Moreover, we were curious to see how the training works since it is touted to be up to 15 times more efficient than standard workouts since EMS activates over 90 percent of the muscle fibers during each contraction.

First, each session starts with a personal trainer to fit you in the EMS gear and lead you through a series of exercises, each designed to stimulate a specific muscle group. 

Since each session only lasts 25 minutes, we found this a perfect fit for people who have less time. Moreover, people barely sweat during an EMS training session, making it a suitable choice for those who do not like exercise and sweating. 

While it may feel initially nerve-wracking when trying out this fitness concept, we appreciate how the personal trainers at FiTin25 showed their expertise in handling the gear. Additionally, they are very encouraging and motivational during the sessions, making the routine easy to follow.

Another thing that we like about FiTin25 is that its rates are relatively cheap compared to regular personal training sessions. Notably, each session only costs 1,300 Baht, while a trial will only set you back 800 Baht.

3. BASE

Pros

  • Has three locations in Bangkok: Sathorn, Chidlom, and Thonglor
  • Offers a variety of classes
  • Has a wide range of packages
  • Award-winning studio
  • Offers online personal training

Cons

  • Facilities are for members only

BASE is an award-winning personal training and group class studio. It is impressive that it has been awarded as “Bangkok’s Best Studio” by ClassPass and Asia’s “Gym of the Year.”

A reason why BASE stands out amongst the plethora of gyms in Bangkok is due to its signature approach to strength and cardio training. With their proprietary Baseline Technology, training at this studio is data-driven and strategic.

We also like the thorough process of starting a personal training session with one of the trainers at BASE. The detailed six-step process ensures an individualized training session for each client.

Notably, a personal training session at BASE begins with an interview, basic movement assessments, body composition scans, fitness assessments, programming and accountability, and nutrition.

We were impressed by the latest equipment found at BASE, which is a combination of weights and cardio equipment, including rowing machines, air bikes, and treadmills. The clean lockers and showers, and the complimentary towels and toiletries are a plus in our books.

The FuelBar is also a convenient addition to the studio, where clients can purchase protein shakes and snacks before or after working out.

Also, we appreciate the sincerity and helpfulness of their staff. We were glad to see that the other coaches go out of their way to help clients even during group sessions with a different coach.

Finally, we like that BASE is accessible in three locations at Sathorn, Thonglor, and Chidlom. Their variety of classes can cater to all fitness levels and can go on from 40 to 60 minutes.

Pros

  • Offers varied training programs
  • Has an online personal training program
  • Offers a free trial session

Cons

  • Shorter operating hours on weekends
  • A bit on the pricier side

Training Ground is known as one of the best Crossfit gyms in Bangkok. Notably, this place has a team of five certified personal trainers who are experts at developing individual Crossfit and nutritional programs for their clients.

We were amazed to see the massive space at Training Ground. It is also notable that they have plenty of well-maintained equipment and clean shower rooms.

Something that we appreciated seeing here is the friendly and warm community and staff. Based on the people we talked with, the welcoming atmosphere initially drew them to Training Ground.

We like how straightforward things are at Training Ground, especially the transparent rates and pricing for Crossfit classes and personal training. Their rates for personalized coaching are as follows:

  • 1 PT Session, 2,500 Baht
  • 10 PT Sessions, 22,000 Baht
  • 20 PT Sessions, 40,000 Baht
  • 50 PT Sessions, 90,000 Baht

Personal training classes are geared toward performance programming for athletes, physio and rehab programming, and specialized coaching for weight loss and flexibility. A CISSN Certified Sports Nutritionist is even on board to address diet concerns.

Furthermore, their unlimited Crossfit classes are priced reasonably at $4,500 Baht per month. We think it’s even better to subscribe to their 12-Month packages, which can give clients over 22 percent in discounts.

While some locals expressed that they felt that the rates are expensive at first, they concluded that they get every cent they pay for given the training from the experienced coaches, facilities, and high-quality classes.

Pros

  • Has plenty of options in their packages and programs
  • Packages and programs can be conveniently purchased via their website
  • Online workout sessions are available

Cons

  • Has only two personal trainers
  • Fees are expensive for non-members

The LAB Bangkok is a boutique gym that offers private training sessions for individuals and groups. Their services range from individualized training programs to group fitness classes.

Located in the heart of the city, the LAB Bangkok is a well-equipped facility for athletes, fitness enthusiasts, and individuals looking to achieve fitness goals. We noticed that the sessions in this gym specialize in strength, conditioning, and functional movement training.

We think that the stars of The LAB Bangkok are their personal trainers: Richard and Pean. While there are only two trainers on board, they are pros in their field and have many certifications and experience in a wide variety of training methods.

Richard Cohen, the founder, specializes in weight loss programs and has gained the trust of thousands of clients in his nearly 20 years of working in the fitness industry in Bangkok. Additionally, he has plenty of experience in nutrition coaching and rehabilitation services.

From our surveys, we are happy to see many of their satisfied clients who have achieved their fitness goals through the coaching at The LAB Bangkok. Clients often mentioned how motivating and encouraging the coaches are, and that enabled them to push past their limits.

Moreover, we like that the training packages can be purchased through their website. They also have various programs available depending on your goals and fitness level.

Finally, we also like that the personal training sessions at The LAB Bangkok are competitively priced, where a session costs 2,000 Baht. On the downside, the costs are more than double for non-members.

We’re impressed by his other credentials as he’s a Trained Cognitive Behavioral Therapist (CBT), Certified Masseur and a Certified Physiotherapist. Plus he holds Diplomas in Sports Massage and Sport Medicine.

In 2016, he decided to put up Squat Revolution Co. where he offers a wide range of health and well-being services.

We like how holistic his services are and the fact that they don’t simply tackle the physical aspect of health.

In all the years he’s been in the business, he’s helped many individuals improve their strength and stability even after an injury.

When it comes to building strength and mobility to improve performance, we think he’s a great choice for a personal trainer!

Pros

  • Exceptional Trainer Expertise
  • Efficient Scheduling and Punctuality
  • Transformative Results
  • Engaging and Motivational Workouts

Cons

  • Busy during peak days

Body by Beast has proven itself as a formidable force in the world of personal training. We embarked on a fitness journey with them, and the results left us both inspired and amused.

From the moment we joined Body by Beast, their efficiency became apparent. Our schedules were meticulously accounted for, and our trainer’s punctuality was nothing short of impressive. It felt as though they had harnessed the power of time itself.

The quality of their services truly separates them from the herd. Our trainer exhibited a deep understanding of fitness, tailoring our workouts with precision. Their expertise was evident in every push-up, lunge, and squat, leaving us in awe of the science behind each session.

Body by Beast offers a premium service, and our wallets noticed. Yet, every sweat-inducing session and the gratifying mirror reflections are a testament to the value we received. Sometimes, investing in your body is the wisest choice one can make.

The camaraderie built with our trainer was something we hadn’t expected. It was as if they possessed a PhD in motivation. Their witty banter and knack for turning even the most grueling exercises into a circus act made us look forward to each session.

Who knew fitness could be so entertaining?

With Body by Beast, we were not just clients; we were participants in a transformative experience. Our bodies became canvases, and their trainers, skilled artists. The results spoke volumes, and as we flexed our newly sculpted muscles, we couldn’t help but applaud their mastery of the craft.

However, they can get busy during peak days. We advise booking them ahead of time.

And lastly, as they are a fitness gym, we appreciate that they are open everyday which helps and keeps their clients consistent and on track in their fitness journey. 

However, consistency in their classes must be improved to keep up with their company reputation and goals. We’ve noticed that they have a mix of reviews online.

Generally, their company presents a trustworthy image in honing physical fitness of their clients with their skills coaches and complete facilities. With these, we are recommending the Newmoves Exercise Exploration Center.
