Pig Gym Da Nang review
Yes, there is a gym in Da Nang cheap enough to try on a day pass without thinking twice. From our experience, Pig Gym is exactly that. This blog gives you our full review of Pig Gym Da Nang, separate from our general Da Nang gym comparison. That way you know exactly what you’re getting before you show up.
What is Pig Gyms in Da Nang
Pig Gym is a small local chain with two locations in Da Nang. The original branch is in My An / An Thuong, close to most of the tourist accommodation near the beach. The second branch is across the river in Hai Chau, on Đỗ Bá street. Both run on the same pricing and opening hours, so whichever one is closer to you works the same way. From what we saw, the My An branch is correctly positioned on Google Maps and easy to spot from the street.
How to get there
If you’re staying on the beach side near My Khe or An Thuong, the My An branch is walkable from most guesthouses and apartments. If you’re based across the river in the city center, the Hai Chau branch on Đỗ Bá is the closer option. A Grab or Bolt ride from most Da Nang accommodation should only cost a small fare. Both branches also have free motorbike parking right out front.

Pig Gym Da Nang from our experience (Fitness Da Nang)
From our experience, Pig Gym looks modern and is well equipped for the price. It also has no air conditioning, only fans. Plan around the heat the same way you would at any open air Da Nang gym.
What surprised us was that the whole upstairs area was off-limits unless you’re doing personal training. It looked spacious and mostly empty when we visited. Downstairs, most of the space is taken up by weights: dumbbells up to 40kg, barbells, several benches, cable crossovers, a Smith machine, and a squat rack.
It is clearly built for people who want to lift rather than do cardio or classes. If you’re after yoga or group sessions, this isn’t the place.
Things to do here
- Free weights and dumbbells up to 40kg
- Barbells, benches, and a squat rack
- Cable crossover machine and Smith machine
- Personal training available (unlocks the upstairs area)
- Free motorbike parking at both branches
Is there an entry fee for Pig Gym?
Yes. A one-time day pass is around 100,000 VND. That’s the cheapest day-pass option among the gyms we tested in Da Nang.
Best time to visit Pig Gym Da Nang (Da Nang Fitness)
Same story as most gyms without air conditioning in Da Nang. Early morning or evening sessions are the most comfortable, especially between March and August when the heat is at its worst. If you can only train midday, expect the fans to work harder than the air itself.
Does Pig Gym suit beginners or only serious lifters?
This is a common question, because the gym doesn’t offer much beyond free weights and a handful of machines.
Don’t expect the staff to walk you through a program though. From our experience, if you want structured guidance, personal training is available.
There is another gym nearby let’s call it “the other Pig Gym” and it looks more modern, also with personal trainers on hand. So if equipment variety and a newer facility matter more to you, that one may be worth checking too.
What to do after your session
The My An branch sits close to a few good food and coffee spots. That makes it easy to turn a workout into half a morning out. A short walk away you’ll find casual vegan and Vietnamese food spots serving fried tofu, spring rolls, and noodle bowls, plus a couple of smoothie stalls if you’d rather refuel with something cold. A nice contrast to the gym itself no frills inside, but plenty of good options once you step back onto the street.
