Pafi Nunyakpe, marketing and sales manager at Beautiful World recently had this to say about True Arena Hua Hin’s FitNet fitness club, “I would have to say probably one of the best gym facilities in Thailand. I just spent 20 minutes walking around. Wow..just wow.”
The FitNet Club is just one component of what makes True Arena Hua Hin such an amazing facility. Located on almost 40 rai of land, just past the flyover as your heading to south Hua Hin, True Arena Hua Hin is South East Asia’s first sporting destination with international standard equipment and world tournament facilities.
Developed and built by the Liptapanlop family’s Proud Real Estate Company, it was designed to provide the Hua Hin community and beyond with an active, healthy lifestyle and to help develop athletes from around the world to excel in their individual sport.
The centerpiece of True Arena is its five story clubhouse. Here you will find Hua Hin’s finest fitness facility, The FitNet Club. With 1,500 square meters of space on two floors, The FitNet Club combines the latest and greatest gym equipment in both machines as well as free weights. The FitNet Club also has the most cardio machines available in Hua Hin. From their treadmills, bikes and elliptical trainers, you can surf the Internet, watch movies and TV shows, listen to music and read books via a USB port or through the machines themselves. Their cardio machines allow you to burn calories while you run or bike through pre-programmed tours of national parks and cities from around the world. Personal trainers are available to make the most of your workout and all are accredited.
The FitNet Club also has two exercise studios. One is dedicated to RPM (spinning), probably the best calorie burner, and the other hosts classes for Zumba, Body Combat, Body Pump and Yoga with more classes to follow. The FitNet Club holds the only Les Mills license in Hua Hin. The Men’s and Women’s locker rooms are spacious and each include a steam room as well as private showering rooms. The FitNet Club is open from 6:30am to 9pm daily so there is no excuse not to find time in your day.
True Arena Hua Hin is designed to be a social club where friends and family come together to get fit and have fun. On the ground floor you will find their Maria Restaurant and Sports Bar. Maria’s offers a tantalizing and energizing variety of Italian, international, Thai and Asian cuisines in a casual yet luxurious atmosphere. It’s the perfect place to meet up and relax after a tennis match or a workout. Their Sports Bar features sports broadcasts on large screen HDTVs. It is a great place to watch all the big tennis tournaments & other sports from around the world. Maria’s is open all day to all guests and is also available for special events, with a 130-140 person capacity.
On the clubhouse’s rooftop, also known as Hawk Eye Rooftop Bar, you will find their 25-meter infinity pool offering first class food and beverage service and spectacular views of Hua Hin.
If tennis is your game, then this is truly the place for you. True Arena Hua Hin features 10 professional quality 18 x 37 meter Plexicushion courts, exactly as used by the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP), the Women’s Tennis Association (WTA) and The Australian Open for practice and competition. If you want to improve your game then their onsite tennis professionals can offer you coaching, workshops, fitness and workout counseling for all levels of play.
In addition to the 10 tennis courts, True Arena also boasts a “Center Court” designed to hold the greatest matches in the region. The only sunken court in South East Asia, it was inspired by The Australian Open’s Rod Laver Arena. The court currently has seating for close to 1,000 but can boost that to a 5,088 seat capacity arena. Facilities already exist for HD broadcasting, press conferences, large rooms specially outfitted for the media and a private players lounge. It is also an excellent venue for other events such as concerts and large business seminars.
Prior to officially opening, True Arena has already hosted 4 tennis tournaments, The ATP Challenger Tour (EA Hua Hin Open), The WTA 125K, The World Tennis Thailand Championship 2016, which featured the legendary Venus Williams as well as Angelique Kerber, who went on to win The Australian Open, and both the top ranked Agnieszka Radwanska from Poland and Italian star Sara Errani. Just recently wrapped up was the Fed Cup featuring the best players from Thailand, China, Japan, Korea, Chinese Taipei, Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan with Chinese Taipei claiming the victor.
True Arena Hua Hin also has two FIFA standard regulation 105 x 68 meter soccer pitches to host professional teams during their off season training including the Thai Premier League teams along with other well-known international teams in the future. Recently, Nakhonratchasima Mazda F.C. or Swat Cat, Port F.C., Ratchaburi Mitr Phol F.C. visited for their off-season training.
Finally, there is Centennial Hall, which is their 36 x 22.5 meter indoor multi-sport complex ready for almost any kind of competition. The building can be converted to one basketball, volleyball court or futsal field and four badminton courts. Personal trainers are also on hand for basketball, volleyball, futsal, badminton and swimming. The Gymnasium, with its large open space and high ceilings, is also perfect for private events, weddings and are also available for fun company events and team building activities.
On Dec 7th of last year, Centennial Hall hosted an IBF Flyweight Championship boxing match that pitted IBF flyweight champion Amnat Ruenreong from Thailand against Japan’s Myung Ho Lee. Thailand’s Amnat was the victor, bringing his winning record to 18 wins, no losses and 5 knockouts.
