00:00:00.356 --> 00:00:02.939
(upbeat music)

2
00:00:09.970 --> 00:00:13.470
<v Jillian>The gym opens at 5:30, and is a 20 minute walk,</v>

3
00:00:13.470 --> 00:00:15.640
which means you need to wake up and be out the door

4
00:00:15.640 --> 00:00:17.870
of the hotel by around 5:05-ish.

5
00:00:17.870 --> 00:00:20.330
If you run back, it takes eight to 10 minutes,

6
00:00:20.330 --> 00:00:22.920
which means you need to leave by 6:10

7
00:00:22.920 --> 00:00:24.720
if you wanna eat breakfast and shower

8
00:00:24.720 --> 00:00:27.450
before the 6:40 departure to camp.

9
00:00:27.450 --> 00:00:32.450
Each day costs 10,000 VND, which is about 50 cents.

10
00:00:33.140 --> 00:00:37.230
There are free weights ranging from five to 35 kilograms.

11
00:00:37.230 --> 00:00:38.570
Everything's in kilos,

12
00:00:38.570 --> 00:00:41.170
so you do have to adjust before going.

13
00:00:41.170 --> 00:00:42.740
There are freestanding benches

14
00:00:42.740 --> 00:00:45.110
on which many exercises can be done.

15
00:00:45.110 --> 00:00:49.220
The plates available are three, five, and 10 kilograms.

16
00:00:49.220 --> 00:00:52.700
There is enough weight to do any exercise.

17
00:00:52.700 --> 00:00:55.180
There are multiple benches and inclined benches.

18
00:00:55.180 --> 00:00:59.210
There are also machines to do fly work and incline work.

19
00:00:59.210 --> 00:01:01.710
There's no free rack for squats,

20
00:01:01.710 --> 00:01:03.970
but there is a smith machine that works well,

21
00:01:03.970 --> 00:01:06.660
a leg press, and some accessory leg machine.

22
00:01:06.660 --> 00:01:08.930
There are a couple of treadmills in the corner,

23
00:01:08.930 --> 00:01:11.440
however most people would recommend running outside

24
00:01:11.440 --> 00:01:12.660
because it's nicer.

25
00:01:12.660 --> 00:01:15.500
My only real complaint is that for people wanting

26
00:01:15.500 --> 00:01:17.677
to do Olympic lifts, which is a big part

27
00:01:17.677 --> 00:01:19.640
of many athletes' programming,

28
00:01:19.640 --> 00:01:21.320
they find it somewhat difficult.

29
00:01:21.320 --> 00:01:24.380
My hands would get sweaty to adequately hold onto the bar

30
00:01:24.380 --> 00:01:26.950
when the weight got high, and the lack of clamps

31
00:01:26.950 --> 00:01:30.550
to secure the weight resulted in uneven bars at times.

32
00:01:30.550 --> 00:01:32.730
Overall, a small complaint.

33
00:01:32.730 --> 00:01:34.840
This gym will meet your needs if you're willing

34
00:01:34.840 --> 00:01:37.280
to make the commitment to go in each morning.

35
00:01:37.280 --> 00:01:40.060
It really helped me to have a couple workout buddies

36
00:01:40.060 --> 00:01:42.930
to hold me accountable and motivate and push me.

37
00:01:42.930 --> 00:01:45.040 line:15% 
I'm Jillian, I'm a Duke field hockey player

38
00:01:45.040 --> 00:01:48.323 line:15% 
and I participated in ACE in Vietnam in 2018.
