Any gyms at/near Daejeon?

[sweetdrops]

Hi!
I'm looking for an indoor climbing place at Deajeon. Does anybody know one?
It would also be ineresting to know how much it is and if it's possible to rent the equipment.

yeah there is a gym in daejeon i've just been procrastinating to list it in the gyms section of the site. here's how to get there.

take a taxi to Kyoung Sung Sports (give your pronounciation of 'Sports' 2 syllables). It's a big blue sports complex. When you get to the sports center stay on the same side of the road as the sports center. If you are standing outside of the center looking at the building, walk left up the street about 5-10 minutes. The gym is on the right. It's called Five Fifteen. They may have changed their name to The Daejeon Climbing Center. Anyway, you will know you have gone too far if you walk underneath a bridge. The gym is basically directly across the street from a huge KT complex. I think the dong is Doma Dong, Nae Dong or Galma Dong. Can't remember.

Also across and up the street from the Kyoung Sung Sports complex is an outdoor shop with and old artificial wall outside. the wall is unclimbable but the owner (Hong Hyeon) is really nice and he can also help you find the gym if you get lost.

The gym is in the basement of the building you walk into.

It's open from 4pm - 11pm from Monday through Friday. Weekend hours vary. W5,000 per day or W50,000 per month.

If you tell me where you are living I might be able to give you bus directions.

hope this helps

Thank you very much, I think you really helped me!
Will try it as soon as I can.

Were you able to find it?

[sweetdrops]

Yes, I found it (after finally finding a taxi driver who knew the sports center).
Thanks again.
Everybody was very kind there.
Normally it was not possible to rent equipment, but they found me some shoes that I could use, so that I didn't have to buy some.
