Physique 57

The city’s leading barre-based boutique came to Phrom Phong via New York, offering fitness enthusiasts a combination of ballet and pilates. The studio offers barre-based classes, like their signature 57-minute workout, which promises a fun cardio workout to improve flexibility, increase endurance, and strengthen the muscles. Beginners can give it a shot with a drop-in class (B1,050), or take the “8-to-great” classes (B6,200) if you’re ready to commit.

Benjasiri Park

No, it isn’t very big. But size isn’t everything. The only true green space amid a sea of concrete neighbors luxury malls EmQuartier and Emporium—and whatever EmSphere is supposed to be—giving you a pocket of greenery ideal for strolls (outside peak after-work hours), runs, or outdoor yoga. The park has an outdoor sports facility as well, including a basketball court, tennis court, and skateboarding rink. Don't miss out on the multimedia water fountain dance, either.
