Your Old Quarter hotel has a treadmill and light dumbbells, and you want a proper session before the day’s sightseeing. Can you walk into a Hanoi gym and pay for one visit?
Yes. As of September 2026, 17 Hanoi gyms on Daily Sweat sell a day pass, and known prices run from 50,000 VND to 320,000 VND, typically 150,000 VND (roughly US$6 at September 2026 exchange rates). You pay at the front desk; none sells passes online. The catch is comfort: reviews of the cheapest gyms mention fans instead of air-conditioning and no towels or free lockers, so bring your own towel and padlock.
All 17 Hanoi listings on Daily Sweat are independents, not chains. Prices here are set gym by gym and rarely published online, so every price below comes from a dated traveller review from 2024 to 2026. See every Hanoi gym with a day pass, or browse gyms across Vietnam.
Prices and policies come from Daily Sweat’s listings as of September 2026. Each gym’s page shows where its price came from and when it was last checked — confirm before you travel, especially in peak season.

How much does a gym day pass cost in Hanoi?
A gym day pass in Hanoi costs 50,000 VND to 320,000 VND, typically 150,000 VND, as of September 2026. That range covers the 15 of Daily Sweat’s 17 Hanoi listings with a known price:
- 50,000–70,000 VND: Bear Fit Gym and X-Men Gym (50,000 VND), Whey Gym (about 55,000 VND), Whey Gym 2 and Tiger Gym (70,000 VND).

- Above 200,000 VND: The Barbell Club (250,000 VND) and 7FIT (up to 320,000 VND).

If your hotel gym covers the basics, weigh up hotel gym vs gym day pass, or try our 30-minute hotel gym workout.
Compare the total cost
Your practical budget is:
A cheap pass across town can cost more time than a pricier gym nearby, and inclusions such as 7FIT’s drinks and towel shift the maths. For longer stays, see day pass vs weekly pass vs monthly membership.
