Health and Fitness resort Cambodia

Country forums / South-East Asia Mainland / Cambodia

Hi all,

My husband and I are going to Cambodia for two weeks at the end of September 2016. We would like to try a health and fitness resort. We are not luxury people but would like a place that has personal training and a professional program with support for getting the best results in a week. I have found one place http://fitness-sihanoukville.com/bungalows.html . Can anyone suggest any other places?

I guess you could also stay in a village and get fit by spending each day climbing up and down palm trees to collect coconuts and palm sugar!

Ha ha. Thanks Dale164. That might work.

Cambodia is not really developed for what you are looking for, short of the major hotels, that have gyms and swimming pools. The Sihanoukville resort you sent seems to have a nice little gym which is very rare there, but it might be too hot to actually train. The best gym is called The Place in Phnom Penh, that's really western quality and they have personal trainers, a day pass costs 15 dollars, that would have what you are looking for. Other than that I've never heard of anyone come to Cambodia for health and fitness, I did see a few spa type places but have no idea what these offer.

I'd rather pig out for a week then do the health thing when I got home. A week of healthy stuff isn't going to do much unless you went hard core.

http://www.cambodianresort.com/ - best gym
http://fitness-sihanoukville.com/ - more local experience

In my opinion stay at a nice place near the beach and then everyday take local transport to
the gym. You can use the fitness facilities at both the above sites for a walk in fee. Better pay the
monthly rate to get the best deal.

Thanks everyone. I appreciate the responses. I am a bit surprised myself that I am asking this question, westwood. Not what I really expected to do in Cambodia but it would be a great bonus to explore an amazing country while finishing up fitter and healthier. I will check out the links and give it some more thought, thanks bruny. Thanks 2233 will check it out.
