Staying fit while traveling is one of the hardest things to do. Casual pushups on the hotel floor squeezed in between the bed and the bags gets old after a while.

Before I started my travels, I was minorly obsessed with yoga and spent my evenings after work exercising and relaxing at the gym.

Currently, I am on a month and a half long motorcycle trip through Laos and Vietnam. After three long days of motorcycling over 600 km from 4,000 Islands across the Laos border to Hoi An, Vietnam, my mind and body were eagerly asking for the gym.

We found Son Phong Gym Club a short bicycle ride away from our homestay. It’s an open gym with fans for air flow. At 11 AM in mid-June it wasn’t as hot as I expected, but we definitely got a good sweat in.

Fans for air conditioning – and motivational posters for both men and women.

The gym is clearly more geared for weight lifting and I hesitated as to whether I wanted to spent 50,000 VND since there wasn’t much space for my yoga exercises. Luckily I’m not afraid of a little dirt and added some weights into my yoga practice.
