# Wewak PNG gym and cooking own food Country forums / Pacific Islands & Papua New Guinea / Papua New Guinea
chuchu_tr4in 03:46 UTC 20 Jan 2014 | Hi, Are there any gyms in the Wewak area with weights for weight lifting, such as a bench press, squat rack etc? Thanks alot for the help. This is important because I will be in the area for 6 weeks and would love to continue training. Also, would is it possible to purchase fresh foods from the markets and cook your own food? or is this difficult to do so that it is better to eat out? Ta |
majordom 14:47 UTC 20 Jan 2014 | you expect gyms but not shops ? haha plenty of supermarkets and a busy market in wewak there is a large stadium in wewak - maybe they have weights there ? | 1
h2ooh 16:54 UTC 20 Jan 2014 | Just go down to the dock and tell them you want to lift stuff | 2
chuchu_tr4in 08:02 UTC 21 Jan 2014 | Thanks guys much appreciated. Gyms and food are priorities for me Do you know what the stadium is for? anymore info about the stadium would be good thankyou | 3
donbrisbane 12:53 UTC 21 Jan 2014 | "stadium" is still yet to open after many years of completion.....what it is built for is a very good guess! the only place you will find a gym is at the new "in wewak boutique hotel" apartments....if you stay there on wewak hill. | 4
donbrisbane 12:56 UTC 21 Jan 2014 | "stadium" was completed 5 years ago......still to open!!!anybodys guess whats its meant for... the only place you will find a gym is if you stay at the in wewak boutique hotel apartments on top of wewak hill. | 5
chuchu_tr4in 22:32 UTC 25 Jan 2014 | thanks donbrisbane. Do you know what gym equipment the botique hotel has? I've tried emailing them but no answer for a week yet | 6
donbrisbane 07:23 UTC 27 Jan 2014 | the gym is located at the boutique hotels new apartments......looks like usual stuff to me?weights,running machine,boxing stuff etc,pretty amazing for wewak.....although the only people i have seen use it were the australian army .!!! | 7
chuchu_tr4in 07:55 UTC 27 Jan 2014 | Haha that does sound amazing! With the weights what specifically do you remember them being? Was there a bench press, squat rack, dumbells or plates of weights? Thanks alot for your help. My friend and I are very keen gym goers and this is important to us | 8
donbrisbane 12:58 UTC 27 Jan 2014 | sorry cant help with your specifics......last time i went to a gym was .....um.....1983.....maybe never. it all looks shiny and new and the stuff you talk about is probably there?the staff who answer e.mails probably dont know how to answer your q. just book in ahead as the hotels are often booked out. i struggle to bench press a bag of rice!!!!sorry | 9
