Instead, just A 4 minute walk down the street is X-MEN gym, a quaint place to work out. It has all the equipment you could want at 50d per day. Not to mention the staff are knowledgeable and nice.

    I went there with a day pass. Yes it was not cheap (420k VND) but sincerely I think it was worth it. The equipment is impressive with a lot of machines, benches and weights, not to mention the sauna and hammam (forget the pool, its 0.9m uniform depth is ridiculous). The place was not crowded as I came at noon, I could do all the training I wanted, and finished with the hammam. The staff provided me towels, and even a padlock for the locker. I also took a "power juice" (smoothie with whey) at their bar and it was good 🥤 All in all, it was an excellent experience and I enjoyed my training here. Of course at that price you cannot come everyday, but it remains a good option for a serious training while traveling in the city.

    Went into this gym with my girlfriend to enquire about a single one day use it’s located in what looks like a former shopping centre the Security Guard on the ground Floor was very ignorant we greeted him no response gave me a scowl. When we got to the third floor where the gym was located I enquired about how much it would cost for a single day as I’m in Hanoi for just four days the receptionist quoted 420000 dong - £14 English sterling . She asked me to have a seat someone would come ASAP and show me around. Five minutes of waiting no one bothered that’s when we made our exit......

    Great gym - lots of equipment, sauna, steam room, and great protein shake and juice bar. The vibe is modern and international although most patrons seem to be locals. The gym is popular with all ages and feels very casual - patrons neither are particular friendly nor in any way unfriendly, just minding their own business. The bar has great protein shakes and excellent fresh vegetable and fruit juices. It isn't cheap but it's definitely up to international standards, with lots of Technogym equipment. The floor above has a swimming pool and a Finnish sauna where both sexes can mingle in their swimsuit; I wouldn't recommend the pool, however, as it is relatively shallow - it probably is just deep enough for the average Vietnamese customer but with my 1.8m, I had to be careful not to hit the floor of the pool when swimming which made it (literally) a bit of a pain. When you buy a day pass, you also get towel and lock, and the showers have shower gel and hair dryers.

    Over 400k for a day pass is an absolute joke. I'd pay less than that in the UK. I've been to many gyms in Vietnam which have cost no more than 100k a day of equal if not better quality. There are other options in Hanoi which offer a good workout for 50k/day.

    Few years ago I joined and there were so many issues. Now I have joined again and nothing has changed, in less than 30 days both the staff and members smoking in the locker room. A member sitting next to reception desk also smoking. No rules are enforced, members are barefoot walking all around the gym. Trainers doing nothing and members don’t re-rack weights so everywhere you turn there is a tripping hazard because no one cares or is responsible enough to PICK IT UP! This also leads to not finding weights you need because they are scattered and hidden all over the gym. Trainers train free weights in the machine space so members have a terrible habit of doing the same because that’s what they were taught by their trainers. So you aren’t only waiting for them to get off their phone but you are waiting for a space designated for one activity but it’s not being used for that, while the free weight space where they should be is vacant! The cleaning crew are the only ones working around here. It’s a joke, I have reached out to customer service three times and received no reply and no action inside the gym to correct any issues or rule breaking. Go to a different gym if you want a civilized place where people act respectful to the place and to others Note their response below but I had already sent all the photos and details, THEY DONT CARE. Even I got a phone call and then approached guy the fitness manager inside the gym. Another hour of discussions yet nothing has improved. Today the trainer is still training his member to use the machine with their free weights while other members wait to use the machine in their circuit. Directing the staff to not do this and setting a schedule for one to walk the floor every 15 minutes is BASIC operation of this type of business but that cannot be managed. The trainers here are not properly qualified, trained, or set-up for success. And it’s difficult to push yourself really hard when the floor is covered in tripping hazards due to trainers and members not showing or teaching respect. Update: today one of the trainers was talking negatively about me to one of the members which caused that member and I to get into a fight inside the gym. That’s how childish and pathetic this situation is and how little control California has over the behavior and attitudes of its staff. Shameful behavior. The reason he was talking negatively about me is because the management told him if they see me in the gym he needs to follow the rules that are in place in the gym. So he started to train that member inappropriately and then he saw me and moved her to the correct area all the while talking negatively about me so she started a conflict with me due to his comments and negative attitude toward me. And also the email address in the reply from the brand has never prompted a single reply from the brand. Them feigning support for their members is an absolute joke After staying away for a week due to being harassed by one of the PT trainers and his client today in order to prevent me from having evidence of the continued violations and inability of California to correct the behavior of their staff several hours after I left the gym I received a message saying that you have to have advanced written permission to take any photos or videos inside the gym. But people are constantly live streaming recording videos and taking photos and I never gave them permission to broadcast me in the background to the Internet. it’s obvious that they’re more concerned to control evidence getting out of there ineptitude than they are about correcting violations of policy or procedure within the club. And to be gone for several hours and receive an additional harassing message from one of the managers is absolutely ridiculous! Instead of focusing on correcting peoples behavior as well as the behavior of their staff the focus is on controlling the evidence. Just to be clear the only photo I have ever taken is of the staff breaking policy and procedure of the club.

    Excellent gym with some helpful and enthusiastic trainers. I had help from PTs: Huyen and Max whilst training there these past 2 months and highly recommend their knowledge, daily positive energy, and professional approach. I also HIGHLY recommend spin classes taught by trainer: Charm! Easily the best Spin instructor across the California Fitness gyms in Hanoi! Go to her classes ready for a fun, interactive, and very social able class!

    I haven't been to this gym yet. I am new to Hanoi and traveling through. As someone who has been in gyms in 40 something countries all branded gyms charge a huge amount for a day pass. So the reviews for California look on par. They should consider cheaper weekly rates. Not sure why gyms don't do this but perhaps they do not want the daily/short term business

    Clean and modern gym. US$17 for a day pass felt like a bargain, but is expensive for Hanoi. If I could make one criticism it is that the dumbbells are a freaking chaotic mess! Gym culture needs to be better and people need to learn to rerack weights where they belong. Staff also need to do a way better job of keeping dumbbells organized.

    My hotel didn’t have a gym but thankfully saw this place nearby so I walked over and had to climb the broken escalators because the elevator doesn’t work. I got a warm up when I got to the 4th floor where the gym is located, but wasn’t prepared for loud music and a very crowded gym. I treated myself to a 1 hour personal training for 1,000,000 vnd Yes it’s not cheap, but I figured this would give me a more quick and efficient workout in a crowded place than having to wait around for machines. My PT name was Drake, he was friendly, spoke good English and gave a good & challenging upper body workout, per my request and since I’m not used to kilograms (we’re on the lbs system) it was convenient to have a local translator. My experience with Drake was 5 stars and I highly recommend him to others, whether you’re a local or an out of towner but I can’t say that the gym itself was 5 stars. Overall, it got the job done and I had a good workout but the front desk wasn’t friendly and the machines were limited and too small for the crowd.

    Complete waste of money for a gym day pass. Extortionately priced and only access to the downstairs gym which only had one squat rack! Swimming pool, sauna etc nice to haves but absolutely rammed with people. Staff not particularly nice or helpful. Better off going to X Men gym down the road!

    Looks like a good facility but 420,000 for a day pass even when the pool isn't open is crazy. It was closed for 4 days for mainatnce and there should have been a reduction in cost of membership for day passes. Such a shame
