Seoul

💡 Don't be intimidated — the hobbyist classes are very welcoming. Morning classes are less crowded. Bring your own gloves.

💡 Buy a 10-day pass for ₩120,000 — much better value than daily drop-ins. Staff speaks basic English.

💡 This is a must-do cultural experience. Master Kim speaks English and loves teaching foreigners. Wear comfortable clothes — dobok (uniform) provided.

💡 Shoe rental ₩3,000 extra. Weekday afternoons are quiet — perfect for working on projects. Routes reset every 2 weeks.

💡 Seongsu-dong has tons of great cafes for post-workout work sessions. Combine gym and coworking in the same neighborhood.

💡 This is the go-to gym if you want zero language barrier. Negotiate monthly price if staying 2+ months.
