Location
Anh Thu Gym Club is centrally located in Dalat, around half a kilometre east of the night market. It’s currently called “Phong Gym Anh Thu” on Google maps. It’s easy to spot, you just need to look up!
Facilities
This fairly large and modern gym is laid out over three floors. The bottom floor consists of free weights and loadable resistance machines. The first floor hosts the cardio equipment and general resistance machines, whilst the top floor is a studio with a good range of functional training equipment. All equipment is in great condition and fairly modern.
Weights
You’ll find dumbbell free weights up to 47.5kg and several adjustable barbells of varying shapes and sizes. There’s also a lat pull down and other cables for tricep work and a row. Also on the ground floor you’ll find loadable resistance machines such as a lat pulldown, bench press and shoulder press. There are also a couple of bench press racks and some pull up bars with cables either side. I didn’t see the standard, wide cable crossover.
Go upstairs to the first floor and you’ll find a squat rack and a good range of upper and lower body resistance equipment. There was no Smith machine here though.
Cardio
There are a good number of cardio machines here, although only three different types – I found 7 treadmills, 4 crosstrainers and 4 Spin bikes. You’ll also see an upright bike.

Functional Training
Functional trainers, welcome home! Go up to the top floor of this building and you’ll probably break out into a smile. This attractive room makes for a small to medium sized studio. It was in use for a class when I was there but I went up anyway to check it out. You’ll find numerous Swiss balls, some kettlebells, TRXs, medicine balls and battle ropes. There’s a rig where these are all stored and you’ll find some hoops and yoga mats here too. There’s also an inclined abs bench and hip extension, along with several vibration machines.
Summary
Anh Thu Gym Club is an excellent well-located facility and great value at 50k per visit. Certainly if you are staying in the centre, it’s the cheapest gym I’ve found so far, although you’ll find cheaper ones such as Khanh Gym further north. Take your own water – lockers are provided.
