BASE Bangkok celebrates winning Asia’s Gym of the Year with big charity workout party

Tuesday 19 June 2018 13:05
BASE, Bangkok's top fitness studio, held a huge glow-in-the-dark party to celebrate winning Gym of the Year at Asia's biggest fitness awards, raising 82,251 baht for charity SATI on the night.

The star-studded event was truly a unique experience, bringing over 50 people together for a workout in the dark. Stars such as Woody and Twopee Southside helped celebrate, with the nightclub lighting and flashes of neon clothing illuminating a packed BASE studio.

Two packed training sessions were held - the 'Sunset Session' as the sun went down and the studio got darker, as well as the main event which turned BASE into a training environment that was the first of its kind in Bangkok.

The city's hip-hop favourite DJ Tob from the Bangkok Invaders was spinning tunes all night, powering the workout and keeping everyone energized and moving.

Donations were made throughout the night to SATI, a Bangkok-based charity that does important work in helping Thailand's youth. 100% of ticket sale revenue was also donated.

"We had a fun night that everyone enjoyed, that also raised money for SATI and awareness of what we do" said Saks Rouypirom, Founder of SATI and managing partner at Broccoli Revolution. "It's always great to think of creative ways to raise money and spread awareness of our message. This event certainly made a big impact!"

The event was a chance to both celebrate BASE's achievement and give back, said Jack Thomas, BASE Founder and CEO.

"Our award was a victory for Thailand on the international stage, so I wanted our event to not just be a celebration of this, but an opportunity give back to a country I love. A country that has given me so much."

"I'm proud to support SATI's work as I believe that by helping Thailand's youth grow and develop into strong adults, we all benefit".

Jack Thomas took time to thank the sponsors and everyone who was involved in such a special night, as well as making an announcement on BASE's third location, due to open in Chidlom later this year.

The new BASE location will be their flagship branch in Bangkok, bringing their popular HIIT and strength concept to the heart of the city.

BASE wants everyone to experience their concept, so to claim a free session at their new location opening November 2018, visit basebangkok.com/chidlom.
