Gym and Pool at Phuket Apartments: Do You Actually Need One
How many gyms and pools are in the Mida Grande Resort complex in Phuket, who actually needs them, and how a fitness routine fits into a long stay.
Phuket Real 24 apartments in the Mida Grande Resort complex come with 2 gyms and 6 pools, 4 of them on the roof and 2 with bars. That is enough for a morning workout and a swim to not depend on a trip into town or on a hotel gym’s opening hours.
How many gyms and pools are in the complex
Two gyms and six pools are the numbers for the whole Mida Grande Resort complex, not for a single building. Four pools are on the roof, two come with bars, so you can choose between a training swim and relaxing by the water without walking to a café.
Why two gyms instead of one
Two gyms in different parts of the complex remove the main everyday risk of a holiday gym — queuing for equipment in the evening, when everyone gets back from the beach at the same time. If one gym is busy, the second one is nearby, and the workout doesn’t get pushed to the next day.
A pool as a gym alternative
Swimming is a working alternative to machines if a gym isn’t needed or isn’t part of the routine. Of the six pools, four on the roof offer a view and fewer people during the day, and the two with bars work for a warm-up followed by rest without changing or walking between buildings.
At what rental length a fitness routine actually works
On a trip of a few days a gym is a nice bonus, not a reason to choose accommodation — a holiday is already filled with the beach and the city. A regular routine — gym in the morning, pool in the evening — only forms on a longer stay, a month or more, when workouts become part of daily life rather than a vacation to-do item.

For anyone combining workouts with remote work, the whole daily routine matters too — see remote work from Phuket: how to set up daily life.
Activity with children: the pool, not the gym
With children the fitness infrastructure works differently: the gym is for adults who don’t want to skip training, while the pools become part of a child’s everyday day, especially in the heat or when a beach trip isn’t happening.

What else is on site besides the gym and pool
The full list of complex infrastructure — restaurants, cafés, kids’ rooms, a coworking space and parking — is in Mida Grande Resort in Surin: what’s inside. The fitness side — 2 gyms and 6 pools — is available to guests in any apartment category, including pool-view studios such as Deluxe Pool View 40 m².
