BKK Stan

The owner is a weights junkie; I had a look last week, he has macines almost to the quality of the Ban Chiang Gym, free weights, and machines. Although I think they have not installed air-con yet.

He has done a great job so far.

Oooo that girl in the BB ad can pull my weights any time.

I'll second Stan on that. I had a look too.
It's looking good. Plenty of weights (if your into that) and a few good cardio machines, the tennis court and table tennis.
I hear they are only going to expand even further with a spa and massage.
Beautiful pool setting. Probably one of the best in Udon.
A good place for an afternoon out with the kids, as they serve food and drinks at the pool from the bar/restaurant.

They do have aircon

Nice to hear there is a decent place to do some strength training. Do they have olympic style weights? 45/35/25 pound plates, squat rack, bench press etc etc? How heavy are the dumbells . Thanks for any responses..

Good old Amercan outdoor jacuzzi would suit me too!

We have a squat rack, which doubles up as a bench press with olympic bar. Maximum dumbell weight is around 50 pounds (all rubber coated with chrome handles). Maximum plate weight is 55 pounds (all rubber coated).
Also have preacher curl station, incline/decline bench, sit up bench, as well as the cardio machines.
The plan is to add an additional "Smith" machine and a Lat pulldown/seated row station, as well as some larger dumbells (although what we already have should be enough for most people).
Come and have a look!

Prices seem fair to me!Is there a day charge for guests staying at the resort?

Post by **bbresort** » April 18, 2007, 11:44 pm

No Stan, no charge for residing guests.
They have the full run of the place; even the bar (although drinks are not free; only a friendly smile from the barmaid)

Nice - did some searching and it didnt seem like Udon had any well equipped gyms in the area. Nice to know that BB has enough to get a good workout. I booked at the Irish Clock in May but I will definintly head up that way to get some workouts in while in Udon. Hell, youll probably see me there everyday. Thanks for the info. Rob R.

Lee, the Roadster out in front of the bar, is that a 2006 or 2007 model.
