If you know someone who lives at Ciputra, then they can sign you in as a guest for 50K vnd per session. Ciputra has a decent gym with weights etc.

I tried looking for gyms near Tay Ho too but not found anything apart from this one.

There is a weight-lifting gym at 148 Au Co, in Tay Ho. It's above a shop called T & T handicrafts on the Red River side of the dyke road and it looks to be a serious affair.
I've never been myself, but I've seen some rather hunky Viets go in and out.

Has anyone been to 148 AU CO Gym yet

Arrived here Saturday and looking for a gym suitable for ladies.I have looked through the already asked questions but cant find anything related.Can anyone point me in the right direction please?

just been to 148 gym.......fantastic for hardcore bodybuilders......its spit and sawdust with old style basic machines and plenty of free weights and all the basics, bench press,squat rack,lat pulldown,cable crossovers,hackslide,t bar row, all of it working,just a little rusty, 150k dong for a month,opposite Shearton on Au co rd.

My answer is that there is a very good one at UNIS (UNited Nations International School of Hanoi) where i am working there. Located in Ciputra Area: Lac Long Quan street, Tay Ho District

In the event that you cant find that place, you can text me at 0904 308 758 or email me at yoyoa4482@yahoo.com

I joined the 148 gym as well. I really like it. It's a decent gym with a lot of local bodybuilders (or at least aspiring bodybuilders). It's pretty hot during workout times, but I like to sweat, makes me feel like I get a good workout. Yes,as ckofs mentioned, the equipment is pretty old, rusty and dirty, but that doesn't bother me. I used to work out at a government gym in Taiwan that was exactly the same. And for 150,000/month, you can't beat it!!

I'm told, not that I've been, that there is a gym at the Community Centre at the top of Ngo 13, Xuan Dieu. My mate said it's a basic but very functional bodybuilding gym that costs 70,000d/month.
