Habit Gym — quick take for visitors and locals
Overall rating sits at 3.9 out of 5 from 95 reviews. The gym appears in a Phuket commercial cluster near Coffee Croffle & Fruit Boxes Café and Phuket Art Home, which helps when planning a workout-run or post-session coffee.
Are cleanliness rules enforced here?
Reviewers consistently report a formal cleaning policy that applicants must read and accept during membership signup.
Staff take hygiene seriously and clean equipment every day, a point several regulars praised as the reason the place feels tidy.
That strict approach has caused conflict: some members allegedly leave sweat on machines and, when reminded, respond by posting complaints online and claiming the gym forbids sweating.
A review mentioned CCTV evidence documenting a membership application incident on Feb 5 2025 at 11:05 am under the name Artur.
What equipment and space can you expect?
Multiple visitors say the gym has enough equipment to work every major muscle group, plus open areas suitable for yoga or mat work.
A Matrix electrical exercise bike is present and reported to function normally; its monitor includes English instructions for operation.
Where reviewers disagree: enforcement versus user expectations
One recent visitor described being asked to leave after a 50-minute treadmill session despite having a towel and wiping down the machine, demonstrating that staff enforcement can be strict and, in at least one case, abrupt.
Another line of complaints highlights facility comfort rules that some find contradictory: a reviewer noted the gym does not have air conditioning yet enforces a ban on open-toe shoes, a requirement they regarded as inconsistent with local climate conditions.
Other members describe the atmosphere as down-to-earth and welcoming, with friendly female staff who invite newcomers and maintain equipment care. Those two impressions coexist in the reviews and explain the mixed overall score.
Practical facts for planning a visit
- Operating hours: Monday through Saturday 8:00 AM to 9:00 PM; closed Sundays.
- Towel policy: a towel is mandatory; reviewers note a rental option at around 10 baht for those without one.
- Payment: accepts NFC/contactless payments.
- A number of reviewers recommend Habit Gym as a budget-friendly option that nevertheless lets you complete a full training session.
How to decide if Habit Gym fits your needs
- If you prioritize a consistently clean space and expect staff to enforce hygiene rules, Habit Gym delivers that environment.
- If you need climate-controlled comfort or prefer lax enforcement of sweat and dress policies, consider trying a short drop-in first to confirm whether the manager and staff style match your tolerance.
- When you arrive for the first time, review the house rules at reception and observe how staff interact with members; use that observation to decide on membership.
Final analyst verdict
Habit Gym is a small, functional facility with clear strengths in daily maintenance and equipment variety. The main drawback is inconsistent perceptions of enforcement: several users feel welcome and well-supported, while at least one recent visitor described an abrupt ejection for sweating that suggests manager discretion can be strict. Use a short trial visit during business hours to confirm whether the gym’s enforcement style and comfort level suit your personal training preferences.
