Seoul

💡 Don't be intimidated — the hobbyist classes are very welcoming. Morning classes are less crowded. Bring your own gloves.

💡 Book classes via their app — morning 6am and 7am slots fill up fast. Ask about the 2-week trial for ₩150,000.

💡 Join the KakaoTalk group for weekly updates. Saturday morning runs end at a café — great way to meet other nomads and expats.

💡 Ask for the English schedule — Tuesday and Thursday evening classes are taught in English. Bring your own mat or rent for ₩3,000.

💡 Shoe rental ₩3,000 extra. Weekday afternoons are quiet — perfect for working on projects. Routes reset every 2 weeks.

💡 Buy a 10-day pass for ₩120,000 — much better value than daily drop-ins. Staff speaks basic English.

💡 This is a must-do cultural experience. Master Kim speaks English and loves teaching foreigners. Wear comfortable clothes — dobok (uniform) provided.

💡 Evening workouts here are magical — the bridge fountain show runs Apr-Oct at 19:30. Grab convenience store snacks from the CU nearby.

💡 Seongsu-dong has tons of great cafes for post-workout work sessions. Combine gym and coworking in the same neighborhood.

💡 This is the go-to gym if you want zero language barrier. Negotiate monthly price if staying 2+ months.

💡 Try the aerial yoga intro class — it's a unique Seoul experience. Book via Naver or KakaoTalk as they don't always answer calls.

💡 Come early morning to join the local ajummas and ajeossis for their daily workout routines — it's a uniquely Korean experience.

💡 If you have an Anytime Fitness membership from another country, you can use it here. Otherwise, day passes are easy to buy at the front desk.

💡 Only open June through August. Bring your own swim cap — it's required. Go early to avoid the afternoon crowds.
