Post new topic

Hi guys,

I'm looking for a personal trainer who could help me with lifting heavy and/or bodyweight exercises in Binh Duong New City for reasonable prices. Thanks!

christine thuy

hard to find trainer with English speaking in Binh Duong. I'm practicing yoga at Minh Sang plaza.wanna join with me?they have Indian yogi,they speak English and have special class,design base on your need.so far,it is best in town

I've heard of that! what kind of yoga do they practice? do they do vinyasa or power yoga? also, what are the fees?

I live in BDNC and it's quite scary for me to drive all the way to Min Sang with my bike, so I prefer if someone came over to help me.

Tried a local gym but all the local guys started gathering around watching me, I think they were amazed there was a girl trying to do weights. very uncomfortable. Also the guy who operated the gym was really nice helping me (didn't speak English) but there was one or two things that he showed me that I felt weren't good form, but I wasn't sure and didn't know who to ask for confirmation.

Christine, thanks a lot for the info. Do you know how much they cost per month?

As for the gym at Thanh Le, I still want a personal trainer to teach me to lift heavy. If possible, I want to learn to lift heavy weights. Do you think they have PTs there?

it should be around 40-50$ per month I think.the price may vary depend on the package.they have 3 months,6 month or one year membership(14 months) and the price will lower if you purchase one year membership. my friend often take 2 class per day.if given that they take two class per day,price will cost less.
not sure about PTs in Thanh Le gym.i haven't try there before.best that you come and double check with them first

The cost for 1 month is 1,600,000 vnd, that includes free t-shirt. The yoga center is very clean, yogis are very accommodating and nice. I've been practicing yoga here for 3 months, and I stopped last April and now I enroll again. There is also treadmill and other exercising machine inside the yoga center.

Enjoy!

Nice to meet someone else who keeps fit.  I just got back from the gym I attend in Cần Thơ.  Sweaty.  Not many there today.   

I feel great after a workout but the experience can be frustrating sometimes.  I'm not competitive about this stuff but I do use really heavy weights, and some guys do feel competitive and almost combative about it; I've had to go out of my way to be friendly with people.  The "alpha male" guy who felt like I was treading on his turf is friendly now, he damn near put out an eye trying to do heavier weights and catch up with me and I grabbed the opportunity by shoving the gawking, smiling idiots out of the way and making sure his eye was OK.  We're buds now.

You'll find that people here don't "get" organization and they will leave the weights underfoot all over the room, sometimes I get a warmup just gathering them back up.  And they have this weird idea about the fans, they tell me that having the fans on makes them cold ... yeah, right, it's 34 bleedin' degrees in there, cold?  Are they nuts?

Air conditioning would be nice.  I've only seen it in a gym in Saigon that from what I hear costs more than most professionals here earn in a month.  Huge.
