Elite Fitness Xuan Thuy in Hanoi, Vietnam

Elite Fitness Xuan Thuy is an active premium fitness club on the fourth floor of The Loop shopping complex at 241 Xuan Thuy in Cau Giay, Hanoi. It is particularly useful for people who want a large club with several training modes rather than a small weights-only room. The operator lists a gym floor, yoga, Group X, cycling, Pilates, an MMA cage, sauna, indoor swimming pool and relaxation area. The main appeal is that exercise, classes and recovery can be combined in one building; the practical tradeoff is that access is organized around memberships and promotions, so short-stay visitors should confirm the current trial or visitor product before going.

The branch has strong current evidence. Elite Fitness's live club directory lists Xuan Thuy among its Hanoi locations with the same phone number and fourth-floor address, and the dedicated branch page publishes opening hours and facilities. That page now identifies the commercial complex as The Loop. Older material often called the site Indochina Plaza, and some current Elite marketing pages still use that older label. The street number, 241 Xuan Thuy, is the stable point to use for navigation.

The operator presents Xuan Thuy as one of the larger clubs in its network. The gym area is intended for conventional strength, conditioning and cardio work, while separate studios support yoga, Group X and cycling. Pilates is also listed, as are an MMA cage and sauna. The indoor pool is an important differentiator for users who want swimming alongside gym training. Class calendars and pool programming change more frequently than building hours, so check the live schedule if your visit depends on a specific format rather than general gym access.

The Loop location is convenient for the busy Cau Giay area, surrounded by offices, universities and residential development. For arrival, use "The Loop, 241 Xuan Thuy" and then follow the mall's internal directions to Elite Fitness on level four. Taxi and ride-hailing are straightforward choices for visitors unfamiliar with Hanoi's western districts. The club is inside a modern commercial complex, but the operator does not publish a detailed accessibility audit for the full route, changing rooms, studios and pool. Anyone requiring guaranteed step-free access should confirm the exact path and facilities directly.

Current hours are 06:00–22:00 Monday through Friday and 06:00–20:00 on Saturday and Sunday. That schedule gives early-morning and late-evening flexibility on weekdays but a noticeably earlier weekend close. The hours refer to the club overall; they do not mean every class runs continuously or that every pool service remains available until closing. Public-holiday exceptions can also apply. Roughly one to two hours is a sensible allowance for a normal workout, with additional time if you plan to swim, attend a class or use recovery facilities.

Pricing should be treated as variable. Elite Fitness runs network promotions and trial-registration campaigns, but those offers can depend on timing, package length and eligibility. The Xuan Thuy branch page does not guarantee a fixed walk-in price for travelers. Ask what non-member access is available on the day, whether the pool and sauna are included, and whether a class reservation is required. Personal training is a separate service and should not be assumed to be included with ordinary admission.

The branch's large format is an advantage for users who like choice but may be unnecessary for someone seeking only a quick basic workout. A traveler staying near Cau Giay can make efficient use of the location because the gym, studios, pool and recovery areas are in one complex. Someone based in the Old Quarter, however, should weigh travel time against the benefit of these extra facilities. The club is not a tourist attraction; it is most useful when Xuan Thuy is already convenient to your accommodation or work.

Elite Fitness Xuan Thuy therefore stands out as a well-documented active club with a broad service mix and reliable current hours. Use the current The Loop name plus the 241 Xuan Thuy address, rather than depending on older Indochina Plaza wording, and confirm the exact short-term access product before travelling. If a specific class or swim session is central to your plan, verify its timetable separately from the club's general opening hours.

The change from the older Indochina Plaza wording to The Loop is another naming issue rather than evidence of a branch move. Elite's dedicated 2026 branch page and current club directory both place Xuan Thuy at the same 241 address. This is useful for travelers because older saved maps, hotel recommendations or receipts may still say Indochina Plaza. If a driver or local contact recognizes the former name, the street number will reconcile the two. The operator also advertises towels and locker facilities on the current branch page, but anyone depending on a particular changing-room amenity should still confirm it directly because small service details can change without affecting the branch's overall operation.
