#ANYTIME FITNESS SEATTLE CALIFORNIA FREE#
The free cold water is another welcome bonus. Great to be back in an attractive modern gym again with all the perks that come with it – not least of which is aircon. Not that anyone noticed it was still there in the photocopier 30 minutes later when I returned – they hadn’t realised I’d left without it either! Phew, it’s once again safely with me. My excitement at being issued the pass meant I subsequently forgot I’d given her my passport and left it behind. At this point she asked me for my passport – which I had taken with me ‘just in case’. Upon completing my workout I asked if I’d need a card to get in for the next couple of days. The personal trainer on duty was busy training a client and let me in without a fuss when I mentioned I’d registered for the trial. Travel Insurance For Adventurers – Loads of Activities Included!Īs the website had said that “Terms and Conditions apply”, I wasn’t entirely sure that I’d be able to use the free pass without proof of residency, but as it happened my luck was in. You’ll see the gym from the street walk behind it into a courtyard and go up the stairs/escalator one floor to its entrance and press the buzzer. I stayed in Badu Sukhumvit and Monkey Nap, both of which are 15-20 minutes walk away (1.2km). By choosing somewhere a little further out from the main tourist areas, I hoped to be able to use the free pass I’d registered for on the website. The nearest BTS station is Phrom Phong and the nearest metro station is Queen Sirikit National Convention Centre, which are 1.2km and 1.5km away respectively. This fairly large gym is located 3km West of Ekkamai, the Eastern Bus terminal in Bangkok. So here I am – Anytime Fitness Bangkok, what have you got for me?! Location and Entry As it happened, things didn’t quite go to plan and I ended up arriving in Mo Chit, miles away oops. So, here I am in Phrom Phong, chosen for its proximity to Ekkamai bus station where I was supposed to arrive late last night. (Being a tourist more than being a teacher, I have to admit!)

One final side note, all three Saldana brothers claim their first jobs were delivering papers for the West Seattle Herald.And I’m back in Bangkok for a final couple of nights before seeing what Cambodia has to offer me! After 4.5 months of teaching here, followed by 2.5 months of being a tourist, I will certainly miss this country. You can read more about that uplifting trip here. The last time we spoke with Andrew, he was headed to Costa Rica to coach a Special Olympics team competing in international soccer. Our primary focus was to begin anew and for the past 6 months we've been in fierce negotiations with the leasing agent at the ex-Blockbuster location and we were dead set on making this the new home of our Anytime Fitness club."Īndrew said their target date for club transition is mid-December, with a grand opening celebration in mid-January. “We knew this would be no easy task, as the prior regime had neglected the club and members for the past several years. We made our dreams a reality in December and ever since that we've been figuring out how we can turn this struggling club around and really infuse a strong dose of community and family culture, which we feel we've done in our original club in Capitol Hill. When we saw the opportunity to acquire the existing Anytime Fitness in West Seattle we did everything in our power to figure out how we can bring this to fruition. “My brother's, Daniel & Jacob and I were born and bred West Seattleites with a very strong sense of family and community. Andrew shared the story behind their move, which will result in a building about twice the size of their current location:
