The Olympic Gym

Stopped in for a day pass, just 15 RM. Not the biggest gym but like other reviews said it has everything you need and more in terms of weights, machines and attachments etc. I went first thing in the morning and it was a little tight on space with only 4-5 other people, but everyone was cool and it was fine. I could see it getting HOT later in the day so bring a towel. Very nice owner who made me a banana chocolate protein shake for 6RM after my workout.

An old school gym,superbly equipped with excellent machines for a great workout!!
For people serious with working out. No posers, influencers or machine hoggers. 95% of the patrons were friendly & considerate regulars.
Well ventilated although there’s no AC, no sweat smell or stains,owner keeps the place very clean & tidy!
The very lovely owner is a kind & helpful gentleman, former(Olympian)bodybuilder who fixes/maintains all the equipments in his gym, the remarkable arrangement of equipments is functional in this tight space. Everything you need is there!
Bring towel, there’s a water dispenser,bring a bottle/cup. Rm15/entry.
Worked out here all week during my visit. My gym of choice!

Old school vibe, place with history and incredibly friendly owner who even helps u set up the equipment for the best execution. It's not just workout but the experience of high customer service. Free water, towel if u need it and a protein shake that u must try!!

I had my trainings all around (e.g. from Turkey to Ucraine, from Italy to Greece to Bulgaria) but here you will find really kindness: this is an old small school gym with all you need and very gentle people who care about sport. The owner is also a former athlete and made my feel comfortable since my very first entry. After a week he started making a discount on my daily pass even I didn't ask for anything: a proper gentleman as is rare to meet. Therefore, I bought also protein powder from him and he made me, in this case as well, a very fair price. They smile, they are good guys and the overall atmosphere is always nice. I strongly suggest this place. Nothing fancy: the real thing.

Gym for serious people. Owner is a retired bodybuilding competitor. Gym is quite small but packed with fancy machine that I've never seen before.
Owner homemade protein drinks is really good too.

Probably my favorite gym I've ever been to. A lot of great machines fit into a smaller location but still easy to move around in. Other gyms should take lessons. Friendly vibe there and the owner is a badass, an inspiration and a nice guy.

The owner, Mr Khoo Ewe Beng is a national and international bodybuilding champion, and his credentials go far beyond that. This gym reflects this gentleman's decades of passion for the sport. The gym is a throwback to gyms of the past, small in size, but big on atmosphere, great equipment and a feeling of belonging to something special. Immaculately clean with little touches of home, you won't be disappointed with coming here. There is no air conditioning, so be prepared to sweat. There is a shower here if needed. Only 10 ringgit a visit. This gym really enhances your visit to old Georgetown.

This is a great gym. All the gear that you need is here. The proprietors keep it clean and well maintained. The clientele are VERY friendly! Aerobic machines, free weights, dumb bells, machines. Pleasant workout music. Filtered water dispenser. Open air - no AC. 10 ringgit per day

The Olympic Gym is a top spot for exercising, especially with weights and machines. There are not so many cardio machines in there, but there are some. It is really clean, everything is very well maintained. So they seem to oil everything at the machines and also the people coming here for exercising put the weights back on there places. Even if the machines stand very very close to each other it doesn't matter. Because of this there are so many, that you will always find a spot for yourself. There is no aircon, but the windows are wide open and they got a lot of fans. The guys working there are very polite, friendly and helpful. Within the price of 15 ringit is a small, cold bottle of water included, that can be refilled as offen as you like. For me the price is definitifly not to high for what they offer. I am only writing about what they charge for a day ticket. I do not no anything about memberships. Opening hours are from 7.00 to 22.30 pm during the week, saturdays from 7.00 am. to 8.00 pm and sundays from 7.00 am to 1.00 pm. So get up early on sundays!

The machines are so good. They are so effective in working on your muscle group. Yes this place is small but it does not stop your workout and nor will make you worry at all. It's an old school gym here and there are a few senior bodybuilders around which I have respected them a lot. Per entry is only $10RM which is less than a cup of coffee in the west. This place is a must to visit and grow muscle in Penang. I highly recommended.

Great gym, small but gets the job done for weights, little to no cardio there.

Great price - 15MYR entry and protein shakes are 5MYR (personally recommend the chocolate shake)

Fantastic old school gym. Reasonably cheap entry rate at 15RM.
Super friendly patrons and the legendary protein shake is a must-try.

This is the most amazing local small, old- school, hardcore bodybuilding gym I hv ever seen and I hv trained in gyms all over the world.

Day pass for 10RM.

Each one of the machines is highly effective and u have the typical motivational bodybuilding atmosphere training with passionate local bodybuilders..females are the absolute exception there..

No air-condition like always in these dungeons but, who cares..

the big difference with other local hardcore gyms is that this one is amazingly clean all the time and has even an artistic decoration with colorful lamps..

the owner is a former competitive bodybuilder, extremely polite and friendly with incredible passion for his already 30y old gym.. he even cleans himself many times a day..

Hardcore bodybuilders can understand my excitement for this historical gym..
I enjoyed it very much and recommend it highly, even for just a simple visit..
for me it was a big highlight during my visit in Penang!

Very easy to find with Google maps. Pleasant atmosphere, owner is really friendly. Cheap - 15RM day pass. Good air conditioning, cold water filter. Love from Ireland. ☘🇮🇪

Old school gym. Lots of machines and dumbbells and very friendly crowd. Price seems to have gone up from 10 RM to 15 RM for walk-ins but we got a free bottle of water and there's a dispenser for refills. Walking distance to the Old Town, if you're staying in that area.

Brilliant gym with all the equipment you could ever want. The staff are very welcoming to tourists and the locals/regulars are just as friendly.

For RM10 (£2!!) for the day it's fantastic! Only downside is the lack of air-conditioning but there's plenty of fans to keep you cool.

Gym is super well looked after and has everything you need for a great workout.
The owner is very kind and accommodating, we really enjoyed our days training here.
RM 15 for one day entry, towel and water provided
RM 6 for a protein smoothie

Owner is a retired bodybuilder. A lot of fancy machines that targets all muscle groups. Day pass is for 15 RM and homemade protein drinks are for 6 a cup. Water dispenser, shower and changing rooms are available.
Only downside is that it's hot inside but there's fans all around

Working out here was the best experience of my life, and the director was kind and there were many good equipment such as cybex, nautilus, and hammer.

Good equipment, mainly a bodybuilding gym. Owner is very nice, 15RM for a day pass. 6RM for a protein shake. Bring a towel, it is ver warm! Would recommend training here if in Penang. 🇮🇪
