Need to work on your beach bod? We round up the best gyms, pick-up sports, yoga, and classes in Sihanoukville to suit all fitness levels and budgets.
Gyms
If you’re looking to get fit in Sihanoukville, there are several gyms Downtown and around victory hill, as well as fitness classes and casual sports teams. Wonder Sport Club is not far from Samudera and is a good budget option. This Khmer-style gym doesn’t have air conditioning, but they do have a good selection of resistance equipment as well as free weights and cardio machines. They also have several table tennis tables and there is a regular session on Thursdays at 1 p.m. if you need someone to play against or if you’d like to meet new people away from the bar scene. Prices are very reasonable at 5,000 riel a session or $24 a month for the gym (towel provided) and 6,000 riel for a one-hour table tennis session.
Wonder Sports Club is a Cambodian-style gym that costs just 5,000 riel ($1.25) per visit.
Located near the Golden Lions (unsurprisingly!) is another recently opened place, Golden Lion Gym. Their fitness equipment is all new and they also offer personal training, nutritional advice and can help with planning your training. Prices range from $3 for a single session to $280 for an annual membership but they also offer weekly and monthly plans at $10 and $30 respectively.
If you prefer more luxurious surroundings then the relatively new Kompongsom Sport Club may be for you. Located off Ekareach on Rice Field Road it opened last year, they offer a well-equipped fitness center, sauna, jacuzzis, table tennis, and an impressive swimming pool and sun lounge area. Prices are $5 for single entry, monthly rates vary according to how far in advance you pay, a month is $45 while a year, at $298, offers the best value, working out at just over $24 per month. They also offer a 10-visit coupon at $35. Massage services and rooms also available.

Fitness classes and sports
If hitting the gym is not your thing there’s still plenty on offer to get your heart thumping.
Several venues offer regular Salsa and latin dancing nights, there’s a local Facebook group, Salsa in Sihanoukville, which has all the details.
If you’re a fan of the beautiful game (or football/soccer if you’re not) there’s a regular Tuesday night pick-up five-a-side soccer game at Goal Sport Club on Sereypheap Street at 7 p.m. Everyone is welcome and it’s a good opportunity meet new people.
Balance Studio at Excellence in Service school offer yoga, aerobics and gymnastics for adults and children in their brand new studio area, prices start from $2.75 per session.
Yoga is also offered by Anam Yoga in the Otres area, morning sessions, 8 a.m. to 10 a.m., in the village opposite Otres market and afternoon sessions, 4 to 6 p.m., at Otres Beach Resort on Otres 2. Prices are $11 per session. Ayurvedic courses also available.
If yoga is a bit tame for you then check out Skate Style, Sihanoukville’s skate park, sessions are $2 for 2 hours or $3 for 3, with drinks and snacks available as well as a spectator area.
Finally if you prefer to get fit for free we can recommend the stretch between Otres 1 and 2 as a great place for an early morning or sunset jog. It’s a lot safer than pounding the streets plus there are plenty of places nearby for a recovery beer smoothie.
