Gym in NYC - 5 Points or The Wat?

Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone,

 

I am going to NYC next week for 5 days with work. I am based in Manhattan. Want to train as I know I'll be up at 5 am everyday with shocking jet lag...

Have looked at 5 Points ( also emailed and they seem super friendly) and The Wat... anyone train at either or have an experience?

 

Thanks

 

Nina

cool well those 2 are near each other, I looked at Kings but is too far from my hotel and office.

Day rates are eye wateringly expensive... like $35 I guess that's normal for NYC, in London you pay £10/12 for a session with unlimited use of gym for drop in and the Kru is the UK No.1, he's even beat Petchboonchu..

I've been to 5 points, nice gym and friendly atmosphere, also like the fact that they have kettle bell classes so I would recommend that one, though the Wat also has a famous trainer, Ajarn Phil Nurse, but I have never been to that gym.

    • Hi, I would like to ask a question about the muscle areas that every Muay Khao fighter should focus on strengthening for a good clinch and power? I would also like to know which exercises or workout machines you recommend for these muscle parts? If anyone also has any workout plans, videos or articles I would also appreciate them. I welcome any good tip and advice 🙂 Thanks a lot and have a nice day!

    • Hi all, I am fortunate enough to have the opportunity to be traveling to Thailand soon for just over a month of traveling and training. I am a complete beginner and do not own any training gear. One of the first stops on my trip will be to explore Bangkok and purchase equipment. What should be on my list? Clearly, gloves, wraps, shorts and mouthguard are required. I would be grateful for some more insight e.g. should I buy bag gloves and sparring gloves, whether shin pads are worthwhile for a beginner, etc. I'm partiularly conscious of the heat and humidity, it would make sense to pack two pairs of running shoes, two sets of gloves, several handwraps and lots of shorts. Any nuggets of wisdom are most welcome. Thanks in advance for your contributions!   
    • Have you looked at venum elite 
    • 3½ years late of a reply haha. I'm in Phuket and have went to quite a few physios. The best so far is Meaw at OptimiseFit at the Blue Tree in north Phuket. She doesn't dry needle me as another Dr. has here but all my muscle tension came back soon so it's a waste of money.
    • Don't know if this brand offers shin guards but might as well check them out. I bought a few pairs of shorts from them a while ago and was genuinely impressed. https://siamkickfight.com/
    • Hi all, I have paid a deposit to a gym in Pai near Chiang Mai to train at in January. I am now concerned about the pollution levels at that time of year because of the burning season. Can you recommend a location that is likely to have safer air quality for training in January? I would like to avoid Bangkok and Phuket, if possible. Thank you!
