Rockin’ Jump
Here, you’ll find giant trampoline beds interconnected to form bouncy floors and walls that are divided into four zones: the Rockin’ Arena (a freestyle jumping), Rockin’ Splash (jumping from a trampoline into a foam pit), Rockin’ Dodge (for games of trampoline dodgeball) and Rockin’ Dunk (for games of trampoline basketball, equipped with hoops at each end). Prices range from B400 for 30 minutes to B1,000 for two hours, while you can also purchase packages that span three (B1,500), five (B2,250) and 10 hours (B4,000) of jumping.

Ommo Studio
This new gym on Sathorn puts the focus on good beats and builds its workout routines around them. Ommo Studios (or Original Music Movement) pumps out sets by local DJs and even live bands through the latest Bose speakers as you sweat away at your choice of indoor cycling, boxing, yoga or Pilates. Prices go from B450/class, B4,200/10 classes, B3,900/unlimited one-month and B21,000/unlimited six-month membership. Or sign up for the year for B38,400.

Beatroot
Under one roof, you’ll find a hair salon that offers organic treatments, a nail spa and a balcony cafe that serves coffee and salads. It also hosts yoga and Pilates classes on its airy, semi-outdoor rooftop. A combined pedicure-manicure sets you back B1,500, with acrylic extensions B1,800; while the hair salon focuses mainly on hair masks and head massages using all organic ingredients—try the nourishing coconut oil hair mask and head massage (30mins/B300).
