Gym & Travel Blog

Honest gym reviews, active travel guides and travel stories from around the world.

Welcome to Gym Travel Blog - GTB, my personal travel and fitness blog for people who love to train, move and explore while travelling. Created by me, Mi-Ree, GTB started as a collection of honest gym reviews from around the world.

After years of searching online before every trip and feeling frustrated by the lack of clear, reliable information about gyms and fitness facilities, I decided to create the site I always wished existed. I’m an active person who loves travel, fitness and new experiences, so every time I visit a new place, try a new activity or discover something worth sharing, I write about it here.

Today, GTB still includes honest gym reviews, but it has also grown into a wider space for active travel experiences, destination guides, walking routes, running spots, bike rides, padel, pickleball, local discoveries and personal reflections from my life.

Whether you are searching for a gym while travelling, planning an active holiday, looking for fitness-friendly things to do, or simply exploring new places, GTB shares real experiences and honest insights to help you train, travel and make the most of every journey.

And if you have a gym, destination or active experience you think I should explore? Connect with me and let me know.

I hope to see you somewhere around the world.

Mi-Ree 💙

The Best Hotel Gym in Vientiane, Laos: Crowne Plaza Review

The best hotel gym I have found might just be in Vientiane, Laos. Vientiane is the laid-back riverside capital of Laos. It blends Buddhist temples and golden stupas with French colonial architecture and, located right across the border from Thailand, it is far less chaotic than many other Southeast Asian capitals. If you are visiting Laos, you might stop in Vientiane on your way to some of the more popular destinations in the country. Luang Prabang, a UNESCO World Heritage si

The Green Bridge Bangkok: A Hidden Walk Between Lumphini Park and Benjakitti Forest Park

Somehow, after living in Bangkok for a while and visiting both Lumphini Park and Benjakitti Park countless times, I had never heard of the Green Bridge. I had also somehow missed the forest park tucked quietly beside Benjakitti Lake. And honestly, I still can’t quite believe it. Bangkok is one of those cities that constantly surprises you. Just when you think you know an area, it reveals another hidden walkway, quiet green space, or peaceful corner sitting right in the middle

Erawan Museum Bangkok: Why the Three Headed Elephant Is One of Thailand’s Most Unique Attractions

Erawan Museum Three Headed Elephant, A Place That Truly Stopped Me in My Tracks Bangkok has no shortage of temples. Grand, golden, breathtaking temples that most visitors rush to see and tick off their list. I have visited many of them over the years and love them all in different ways. But this week we discovered somewhere that felt completely different. Somewhere that made me slow down, look up, and genuinely feel something. The Erawan Museum is one of those places. And I h
