A SOLAYA VENTURELIVE IN HCMC

The Gym Pod Vietnam.

On-demand 24/7 fitness pods. No memberships, no contracts, no sales floor. Book through the app, pay by the session, train in your own private gym. Now live in Ho Chi Minh City.

Launched March 2026
First city Ho Chi Minh City
In partnership with Immortals Pte. Ltd.
THE STORY

A proven concept, built for Vietnam.

The Gym Pod started in Singapore in 2018 as a private, app-controlled fitness pod you could book by the half hour. No membership, no minimum commitment, just a clean private space and the equipment you need. Today the model has reached more than 300,000 users globally, with over 100 pods running across Singapore, Indonesia, and the United States.

Vietnam is country number four. Solaya Collective is partnering with Immortals Pte. Ltd., the team behind The Gym Pod, to bring the concept to one of Asia's fastest-growing fitness markets. We handle the on-the-ground build: site selection, pilot operations, legal structure, and local marketing. Immortals brings the operating playbook, the technology, and a decade of pod-by-pod learning.

Vietnam's fitness market is projected to reach USD 3.78 billion by 2030. We think there's a better way to grow with it.

THE MODEL

A different way to train.

Traditional gyms sell access. We sell time. Each Pod is a private, fully-equipped space you book by the session through the app. Walk in, train, walk out. The whole experience is built around three things.

01 / Privacy
Yours alone.
No crowded floors, no waiting for equipment, no one watching. Each Pod is a private space that's yours for the booking. Train how you want, with who you want, on your own time.
02 / Pay-per-use
By the session.
No membership cards. No annual contracts. No sales team selling you packages you'll never finish. Just transparent pricing, paid through the app, for the time you actually use. From around 50,000 VND per hour when you train with two friends.
03 / 24/7 Access
Always open.
Pods open daily, with select locations running around the clock. No staff at the door, no opening hours to plan around. The app unlocks the Pod at your booking time and locks it back when you're done. Train at six in the morning or midnight if that's when life lets you.
THE FIRST POD

Now live in District 7.

Pod 1 opened in March 2026 at the ParTee golf course in Nha Be, on the southern edge of Ho Chi Minh City. Early traffic is running near 47% utilisation with zero paid advertising. The proof of concept is working.

THE ROADMAP

From one Pod to a network.

Pod 2 is in planning as a 24/7 unit in a high-density residential district. The roadmap from there is deliberate. We grow as fast as the unit economics support, and not a Pod faster.

2026, end of year
5pods
Pod 1 live, Pod 2 in planning. The remaining three are slated for high-density residential and mixed-use sites across Ho Chi Minh City.
2027, end of year
10–20pods
Network density across Ho Chi Minh City, with the first pods in Hanoi and Da Nang. The goal: a Pod within a fifteen-minute walk of every working professional in the city.
Beyond
and on
Franchise partnerships, hotel and condominium tie-ups, and corporate wellness deals. The Pod is a unit. The network is the product.

Super convenient and clean. Easy to book, equipment is well maintained, and it's great having a private space to work out without the usual gym crowd. Perfect for quick focused workouts.
