good Gym and the Location is perfect. All machines , that I needed were available. a Little Bit small , but I visited gym in the Morning and there were not that many ppl. the Staff is friendly and ready to help. just maybe a little bit expensive but I compare this gym with my gym in Germany so most probably it is only my subjective opinion )

Perfect for short term gym- has everything you need to keep training on vacation. Plenty of smith machines, barbell racks, and equipment. They have treadmills, stairmasters, and bikes for cardio.

This was really one of the highlights of my trip! A truly authentic experience with a very nice master, amazing people as well. I liked it so much that I'm now considering to continue with taekwondo classes in the future. Think not twice, this is the best time you're going to spend in South Korea!

I’d happily run with Han Stride again! Our 9:30 p.m. running tour was one of the highlights of our trip. The guides were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and genuinely passionate about running and building a community. We got to experience beautiful places around the palace at night, which we never would have discovered on our own.
What impressed me most was how accommodating they were with our pace. This tour is perfect for beginners who want a fun jog as well as experienced runners looking for a unique way to explore the city. The atmosphere was relaxed, encouraging, and full of positive energy.
If I return to Seoul, I will absolutely join another run with them. I highly recommend Han Stride to anyone who loves running, sightseeing, and meeting people who truly enjoy sharing their city and their passion for the sport. It felt less like a tour and more like running with friends.

Very nice welcome, good training for both advanced practitioners of other martial arts and beginners. Little English spoken, but communication was easy.

I used AREX to and from Incheon Airport and Seoul Station, and it was super convenient. The train arrived and left on time.
A huge plus is that you can check in your bags at Seoul Station if you're flying with participating airlines like Jeju Air, Korean Air, Air Busan, and others (check first if your airline is included!).
The AREX line was short, and because I had already checked in at Seoul Station, I didn't have to line up at the airport check-in counters anymore. I went straight to immigration and security. Definitely a time-saver!
