​The popular Thailand Golf Expo 2019 held earlier this year was a sellout and Banyan Golf Club, Hua Hin will extend the same golf deals to Thailand residents this November and December to celebrate the club’s 10-year anniversary with the launch of “Banyan Golf Expo 2019”. This is a unique opportunity to buy your green fees in advance and play the award-winning Banyan Golf Club, Hua Hin throughout the high season until 30th April 2020.  

Sometimes, it can be difficult to find the time or enthusiasm to maintain a healthy fitness regime when living in a city like Bangkok.
 
Whether your excuse for ditching the gym is too much time spent on work, family or socializing, our quick and very intense “HIIT” classes here at LifeStyles on 26 could be the perfect answer.
 
Taking up just 30 short (but rather painful) minutes, high-intensity interval training is proven to be one of the most effective ways of improving cardiovascular stamina and toning muscles through alternating intense anaerobic exercise with recovery periods… until your body can’t take anymore!
 
At LifeStyles on 26, we have all the equipment and trained instructors you need to burn up to 500 calories – all while having fun with the rest of the group.
 
Better yet, we won’t tie you down into a long contract – just come along and pay THB 400 per session, or select one of our money-saving packages with 10 classes at THB 3,500 or 20 classes at THB 6,000.
 
Classes run every Monday & Friday 14.30 - 15.00 hrs. every Friday 14.30 - 15.00 hrs. / and every Saturday 10.00 - 10.30 hrs. in October 2019.

Anytime Fitness is still keen on its vigorous expansion throughout Asia and Thailand. With 5 current clubs in Thailand and the 6th to open soon at Riverside Plaza, Anytime Fitness is breaking all barriers to welcome everyone and provide a safe place with no judgments, no discrimination, and no intimidation.

Strategic growth is key to improving our member experiences
“We're proud to experience great early success and acceptance of the Anytime Fitness brand in Thailand. Within just 18 months of entering the market, we have opened 6 locations across Bangkok with more locations to come in both Bangkok CBD and the provincial regions.” says Anytime Fitness affiliate, Billy Pech.

He also highlights some of the key benefits and changes that come with the fast growth: “Our goal is to get more and more Thai people to live a healthier life by creating convenient fitness spaces near where people work, live, and play. As a result of our success, we have outgrown our current facility in Lumphini and will be moving to a new, bigger, and more convenient fitness centre for our members to continue to enjoy the Anytime Fitness experience across all 4500+ gyms across the globe.”

Branches in Thailand that members can currently enjoy aside from Anytime Fitness K Village are Anytime Fitness Amarin Plaza, Nanglinchee, Cosmo Muangthong Thani, I’m Park Chula, and the upcoming branch at Riverside Plaza.

 A New Zealand leading wine brand, Brancott Estate, partnered with Brew Yoga Thailand, an event organizer who specializes in orchestrating a bubbly workout with a variety of favorite beverages, to create yet another trailblazing event after their spectacular “Yoga Wine” debut last year. 

This event, held at the rooftop on the 78th floor of King Power Mahanakhon skyscraper, allowed yoga lovers to do body stretching and sipping wine in a refreshing ambiance, surrounded by a 360° view of Bangkok Metropolitan in a mellow sunrise background, as the event name suggested “Sunrise Wine Yoga”. Celebrities joining the event at Mahanakhon Skywalk the other day included Karn Chatikavanij, Pitchana Ekachai, Stephanie Lerch, Chaiyapat Sadakorn, Paranya Lapudomsakul, Pathanon Treethepchanchai, and Jutarat Kaewmanee.

            “Yoga Wine” was recently introduced in Thailand and has ever since gained popularity among the health enthusiasts both locals and expats that usually are in search of an innovative workout. Yoga Wine adapted the traditional yoga by bringing in wines to pair up with the balancing routine of yoga. The method creates artistic movements for the body while grasping a wine glass and posing elegantly. The challenge is the balancing of the wine-filled glass throughout the session without spilling in order to taste the drink after the session. A Zumba class that followed was designed to help relax the body, allowing all the muscles to work to their fullest extent.

Jetts 24 Hour Fitness has invested 80 million baht to launch two new clubs in Pattaya at Royal Garden Plaza and Little Walk with a total capacity of around 1,500 square meters as an attempt to bring the round-the-clock ‘workout on your term’ solution closer to consumers while expanding its portfolio as an unrivalled fitness chain across Bangkok and other provinces in Thailand.

Marking Jetts’ first expansion outside Bangkok, the latest club openings in Pattaya add to the fast-growing chain’s reach around the country as part of its plan to have two dozen clubs up and running in Bangkok and regional provinces by the end of 2019.

Mike Lamb, Asia CEO of Jetts 24 Hour Fitness, has hailed the new openings as proof of the fitness chain’s commitment to bringing get-fit solutions within reach of more and more people in Thailand. “While we pursue our goal of providing our members with the most optimized gym experiences every day, we are also continuing to promote a healthy and active lifestyle among different groups of people in different regions,” Lamb stressed.

“Like Bangkok, Pattaya revolves around a range of 24/7 vibrant activities and has an abundance of shift-workers with 24-hour supermarkets and other 24-hour businesses being in demand,” he added. “For the Pattaya branches, we target residents, local workers, particularly those in tourism services who may work on shifts outside the traditional daytime schedule, as well as local and international tourists. Given that Pattaya is a favorite tourist destination for globetrotters and is a pivotal player in Thailand's social, cultural and economic scenes, this is surely a great business opportunity for Jetts and takes us a step closer to securing 25,000 members by the end of 2019. In line with our Bangkok clubs, our investment for each Pattaya club is in the region of 40 million baht. The response toward the Pattaya clubs has been quite overwhelming following the launch, and we have already gained a member base of over 1,000 in the city.”

As well as its many proven physical benefits, yoga has great mental benefits, too.
 
But to really harness the spiritual power of yoga, finding a stress-free and inspiring environment to perform those stretches and poses is key – that’s why shady parks, beaches and tropical gardens all prove particularly popular with seasoned yogis.
 
With 180-degree views across Bangkok from 26 floors up, our studio here at LifeStyles on 26, Centara Grand at CentralWorld lets you experience the ‘zen’ side of yoga – without ever having to leave the city. With our weekly Yoga Fly classes, you’ll soar to even greater heights as you stretch out while suspended in fabric hammocks hanging from the ceiling.
 
As well as defying gravity, Fly Yoga increases strength, flexibility and can also with mental ailments such as stress and anxiety.

“New Year, new you”? How about “New Year, new way of having fun while exercising”?

With that in mind, let us introduce you to “Classes V – Bike” at LifeStyles on 26!
 
Comprised of 50 sweat-filled minutes of indoor cycling action, these adrenaline-boosting spinning sessions are held every week at our fitness center on the 26th floor of Centara Grand at CentralWorld.
 
With a range of fully-equipped Spinner® Bikes that track your performance, our fun classes include a motivating instructor, pumping music to get you peddling fast, and a group of others (of all abilities), so you won’t be riding alone.

Best of all, you don’t even have to be a member of our gym. “Classes V – Bike” classes are priced at just THB 400 per session and run every Thursday from 19.00 – 19.50 hrs.
 
LifeStyles on 26 also has a range of other classes for both members and non-members throughout the week, including Pilates, Zumba and yoga. You can also make use of our fully equipped gym here on the 26th floor of Centara Grand at CentralWorld.

Let’s face it. Sitting alone on a fitness bike isn’t the most fun way to exercise. Solo peddling – without having any goals or others around to motivate you – can quickly get boring, meaning you’ll be reaching for your phone or heading out the gym door for an early trip home.
 
To put the excitement back into bike fitness, why not try one of our uplifting “Classes V – Bike”; these 50-minute spinning sessions are held every week at LifeStyles on 26, Centara Grand at CentralWorld.
