Racquetball and gyms in Saigon, VN

Oakland07

I'm moving to Saigon, VN in 25 days and am wondering if anyone knows whether there are any racquetball courts there? If so, are they at a gym or free to use? Also, if anyone knows what the rates are and qualities of gyms are like, I'd greatly appreciate any information regarding this. Thank you!

Yes district 3 there is a place called Lan anh village (check spelling) They have a curved pool (better for kids) tennis courts, and a pretty good gym.

Prices are 45000 dong for swim, 170000 for gym.

Hope this has helped also there's a rock climbing centre 8km east of the city for an alternative workout.

email me if you need a training partner mfraser2008@hotmail.co.uk

Hey Marcus,

Is that the monthly fee?

You can also check out Rach Mieu in Phu Nhuan District. They have tennis courts, a pool, a nice looking gym, martial arts, and some other fitness related activities (but no racquetball).

I have never seen or heard of a racquetball court in HCMC, Vietnam or anywhere else in SE Asia. I may be way off here but I think Squash is more popular. I am an American, used to playing racquetball, and switched over to squash a few years back in Singapore. Squash is a fun game and similar to racquetball, in case you have never played. The ball is like a dead racquetball but as it heats up it bounces around more. What you end up with is a slower version of racquetball that you have to really hit harder all the time. The result is one heck of a workout and good time. If you can't find a racquetball court look for squash.

Aloha!

Hi Oakland! I am racquetball player too. I believe the only one they have in Danang. I don't recall anything in HCMC.

Depends on where you live and what type of amenities you are looking for. Most will be sweat boxes, in D.7 there is a World Gym I go to.
