Capitol Club Fitness Centre
Does a busy urban lifestyle keep you unhealthy and lethargic? Been wanting to get fit but don't know where to start? Surpassing any ordinary fitness centre, Capitol Club, a luxury health club under the wing of President Park Executive Serviced Apartments, is an all-in-one venue with full-fledged facilities catering to those wanting to get healthy or merely just to have fun. Located in Sukhumvit Soi 24, this five-storey club boasts a distinctive Fitness Dome on the top floor, where guests can shed some sweat under a fiberglass-domed roof.
Venturing to new heights
In addition to burning unwanted calories and shaping muscles at an extensive range of fitness equipment, gravity-defying devotees can also get their adrenalin fix at the Capitol Club's eight-metre tall Rock Climbing Wall, one of Bangkok's few indoor rock climbing facilities. Closely supervised by well-trained staff, a climber can choose to safely conquer the path that best fits their ability.
The gym is spacious with free weights, machines and cardio areas properly sectioned. Certified personal trainers are readily at hand (private sessions are also available). Cardio machines can be found on the mezzanine floor, where great views will keep you on the treadmill longer. Alternatively, enjoy a wide range of health-beneficial activities encompassing everything from yoga, tai chi, Pilates to hip-hop dancing in an aerobics studio with sprung floor and mirrored glass wall.
Superior sport facilities
Sport enthusiasts will love Capitol Club's well-maintained facilities. Put your racket skills to test at the club's tennis and squash courts. Courses and training offered by experienced coaches can also be had. Cool down or swim a few laps at the three outdoor swimming pools - a perfect total body workout for a hot day.
In addition to world-class fitness equipment, housed under the same roof is Ananda Spa (read review here), where guests can take advantages of its amazing array of services and treatments. A large spa locker room and fitness locker room are separated and equipped with steam room, sauna and Jacuzzi.
As for post-workout refreshments and nourishment, Capitol Club offers a great selection of eateries. Treat yourself with tasty pastries, cakes, sandwiches, smoothies, protein shakes or cocktails at the Dome Cafe, choose to chill at Oasis Poolside, Skylight Bar or enjoy authentic Italian cuisine at De Meglio on the lobby floor.
'It's more than a health club, it's the good life'
Truly living up to its slogan, Capitol Club offers what the ubiquitous franchised fitness centres don't - a sport complex combined with a fully-functional health club. An absolute answer to today's hectic lifestyle with its superb location surrounded by shopping malls, parks, entertainment options and the city's efficient Skytrain (Asoke Station) and MRT (Sukhumvit Station), this all-in-one venue is an ideal place to be, be it to work out, get healthy, socialise or simply unwind the mind and re-energise the body.
