First, which beach do you actually mean?
This trips up almost everyone, including some published guides, so it is worth 60 seconds.
Strictly, Mỹ Khê Beach is the stretch of Võ Nguyên Giáp in Phước Mỹ Ward, Sơn Trà District, roughly 3 kilometres from the city centre. That is the section most often photographed and the one hotel listings mean when they say "My Khe".
In practice, the sand is continuous for about 10 kilometres, running from the foot of the Sơn Trà Peninsula in the north all the way down to the Marble Mountains in the south. Along the way it is known by different names: Phạm Văn Đồng beach in the north, then Mỹ Khê, then Mỹ An further south in Ngũ Hành Sơn, which is the stretch that fronts the An Thượng area where most visitors actually stay. Almost everybody calls the entire thing "My Khe".
Gyms by beach stretch
Sorted from north to south along the coast. Proximity is described by street and area rather than by metres, because we have not measured door-to-sand distances and would rather say so than publish invented numbers.

Evolve's details are our own and current. All other figures come from published Da Nang gym guides and the gyms' own sites, checked 11 August 2026. AC is graded verified where the gym states it and independent guides agree, reported where guides list it but full-floor coverage is unconfirmed, disputed where published sources contradict each other, unverified where we found no air conditioning information either way, and fan-cooled where sources agree there is no meaningful AC. Confirm prices directly before paying.
The two streets that matter
Hồ Xuân Hương, Khuê Mỹ (southern Mỹ An stretch)
Hồ Xuân Hương runs from inland directly down to Võ Nguyên Giáp, the beach road, meeting it at a crossroads. That makes it one of the few streets in the area where you can be on a proper training floor and at the sand within a short walk.
It is also, unusually, the closest thing Da Nang has to a gym street. Three serious training options sit on it: Mobifit360 at 4-6, Evolve at 14, and CrossFit Lotus at 111, which is the CrossFit box most often recommended by expats here and is reported to open at 5:45 AM, earlier than either of us, though their own listings disagree on hours so check before making an early start. If you are staying anywhere around An Thượng, Mỹ An or Khuê Mỹ, this one street covers 24-hour access, coached barbell strength and CrossFit classes between them, and the only real question is which format you want.
Đặng Vũ Hỷ, Phước Mỹ (northern Mỹ Khê stretch)
If you are staying on the strict Mỹ Khê section in the north, Vinabeast on the rooftop of Le Cap Hotel is the standout. It is air-conditioned, has heavy plate-loaded machines and a small pool, and opens at 6 AM. Coming from the south end it is a 15 to 20 minute ride, which is why we would not recommend it to someone based in Khuê Mỹ, and would recommend it to someone based in Phước Mỹ.
Where Evolve fits, honestly
We run Evolve, so weigh this accordingly and check the table above against other sources.
Evolve is at 14 Hồ Xuân Hương, Khuê Mỹ, Ngũ Hành Sơn, on the southern Mỹ An stretch, walkable from much of An Thượng and a short ride from most of the southern beach hotels. It opened in 2026, it is a fully enclosed air-conditioned floor, and it is open daily 8 AM to midnight. Your first day pass is free, after which drop-ins are 150,000₫, a week is 490,000₫, and memberships run 1,990,000₫ for one month down to 990,000₫ per month on a 12-month term.
Choose Evolve if
- You are based on the southern stretch, around An Thượng, Mỹ An or Khuê Mỹ.
- You want the free weight floor itself cooled, not just reception, which matters most from June to August.
- You train in the evening. Open until midnight, when most of the area has shut at 8 PM.
- You want to try before paying. The first day pass is free.
- You are staying for months. At 990,000₫ per month on a year, we are cheaper than the other air-conditioned options nearby.
Choose a neighbour if
- You need 24-hour access. Mobifit360, a few doors down at 4-6, is open 24/7. We are not. For 5 AM or 2 AM training, go there.
- You want the cheapest drop-in on the street. Mobifit360 charges 100,000₫ for registered visitors against our 150,000₫ standard rate.
- You are staying at the north end. Vinabeast in Phước Mỹ will be genuinely closer to you, and it has a pool and opens at 6 AM.
- You are on a tight budget. Fan-cooled gyms in Bắc Mỹ An start around 30,000₫ a day. Nothing air-conditioned in this city competes with that, us included.
- You want a sauna. Mobifit360 has one. We do not.
Training near the beach: what actually changes
A few things about beach-adjacent training in Da Nang that catch people out:
- Sand and salt destroy shoes and equipment. Most gyms in the area would rather you did not walk in straight off the sand. Bring dedicated indoor training shoes and change at the gym.
- Midday is not the time. Between roughly 11 AM and 3 PM in the hot season, the walk to the gym is harder than the session. Train early or after dark, or pick an air-conditioned gym and stop planning around it.
- Beach then gym is a rehydration problem. An hour in the sun before lifting, in 80 to 89% humidity, is a much bigger deficit than it feels like. Drink well before you start, not during.
- Most beach-area gyms close early. The 8 PM to 9 PM shutdown is standard here, which is inconvenient if your day ends with dinner by the water.
- Walkable matters more than you think. In heat and sudden rain, a gym you can reach on foot gets used and a gym 20 minutes away does not.
Frequently asked questions
What is the best gym near My Khe Beach in Da Nang?
It depends which end of the beach you are on, since the coastline runs about 10 kilometres. On the southern Mỹ An stretch, Evolve Gym and Mobifit360 both sit on Hồ Xuân Hương, which runs directly to the beach road, and both are air-conditioned. On the northern Phước Mỹ stretch, the strict Mỹ Khê section, Vinabeast Rooftop Gym is the strongest air-conditioned option.
Where exactly is My Khe Beach in Da Nang?
Strictly it is the stretch of Võ Nguyên Giáp in Phước Mỹ Ward, Sơn Trà District, about 3 kilometres from the city centre. In practice the sand runs continuously for roughly 10 kilometres from the Sơn Trà Peninsula down to the Marble Mountains, and people use "My Khe" for the whole strip including the Mỹ An stretch further south. The two ends are 15 to 20 minutes apart, which is why it matters when booking a gym.
Are there air-conditioned gyms near My Khe Beach?
Yes, but they are the minority. Evolve and Mobifit360 on Hồ Xuân Hương, and Vinabeast in Phước Mỹ, are the beach-area gyms most consistently described as genuinely air-conditioned. Most other gyms around An Thượng and Bắc Mỹ An are fan-cooled, which matters a lot from June to August at 33°C and near 85% humidity. Our verified AC guide grades every gym in the city individually.
Can I get a day pass at a gym near My Khe Beach?
Yes, nearly every gym in the beach districts sells one, from about 30,000₫ at small neighbourhood gyms to 200,000₫ at the premium end. Evolve gives first-time visitors a free day pass, then charges 150,000₫. Mobifit360 charges 100,000₫ for registered visitors and 120,000₫ to 160,000₫ for walk-ins by time of day. Full prices are in our day pass guide.
Which beach-area gyms are open late in Da Nang?
Most close between 8 PM and 9 PM. The exceptions are Mobifit360 on Hồ Xuân Hương, open 24/7, plus Evolve on the same street and Vinabeast in Phước Mỹ, both open until midnight. If you want to train after a late dinner by the water, that is essentially the entire list.
Is it better to train outdoors on the beach instead?
In the cooler months from roughly December to February, running and bodyweight work on the sand is genuinely pleasant and free. In the hot season it is only realistic early in the morning or after dark, and sand training does not replace loaded strength work. Most people here end up doing both, using the beach for conditioning and a gym for lifting.
We are on the street that meets the beach road
14 Hồ Xuân Hương, Khuê Mỹ. Your first day pass is free, so come and see whether the walk suits you before you pay anything.
