Phòng tập ở gần công ty.

A word-by-word breakdown is:

• phòng = room
• tập = practice, train, exercise
• phòng tập = gym, training room, workout room
• ở = at, in, located at
• gần = near, close to
• công ty = company

So the structure is basically:

• Phòng tập = the gym
• ở gần công ty = is near the company

Vietnamese often does not need a separate verb like English to be in the same way.

In this sentence, ở helps express location, so Phòng tập ở gần công ty naturally means The gym is near the company.

A useful way to think about it is:

• English: The gym is near the company
• Vietnamese: Gym located near company

So the idea of is is understood from the structure rather than always stated with a separate word.

Ở is commonly used for location. It can mean things like:

• at
• in
• located at

In Phòng tập ở gần công ty, ở helps show where the gym is located.

You can think of ở gần as to be near / located near.

Examples:

• Tôi ở Hà Nội. = I live/am in Hanoi.
• Nhà ở gần trường. = The house is near the school.

So here, ở is not just a random extra word; it marks the location relationship.

Yes, you often can.

Both of these are natural:

• Phòng tập ở gần công ty.
• Phòng tập gần công ty.

The version with ở can sound a little fuller or more explicitly locational. The version without ở is also very common in everyday speech.

So as a learner, it is useful to recognize both.

Not always.

Literally, phòng tập means training room or exercise room. Depending on context, it can mean:

• a gym
• a workout room
• a practice room
• a training room

In many everyday situations, especially when talking about exercise, phòng tập is naturally understood as gym.

If you want to be even more specific, people may also say:

• phòng gym
• phòng tập thể dục

But phòng tập by itself is very common and natural.

Literally, công ty means company.

But in real conversation, depending on context, English speakers might translate it as office if that sounds more natural in English.

For example, if someone says:

• Phòng tập ở gần công ty.

they may mean:

• The gym is near the company building
• The gym is near the office

So the Vietnamese word is company, but the most natural English translation may sometimes be office.

Vietnamese does not use articles the same way English does.

English requires things like:

• a gym
• the gym
• the company

Vietnamese usually leaves that unspecified unless context makes it clear.

So:

• Phòng tập could mean a gym, the gym, or gyms in another context
• công ty could mean a company, the company, or the office/company depending on context

Usually the situation tells you which meaning is intended.

It is fairly similar here.

The pattern is:

• subject/location being described
  • location phrase

So:

• Phòng tập = the gym
• ở gần công ty = is near the company

This is close to English word order:

• The gym
  • is near the company

A lot of Vietnamese sentences about location follow this pattern:

• Nhà ở gần chợ. = The house is near the market.
• Trường ở xa đây. = The school is far from here.

A rough pronunciation guide is:

• phòng ≈ fawng with a low-falling tone
• tập ≈ tuhp with a short, heavy ending and a low tone
• ở ≈ a short uh/er sound with a creaky rising tone
• gần ≈ guhn with a low-ish tone
• công ≈ kohng with a level tone
• ty ≈ tee with a level tone

A few important notes:

• ph in Vietnamese sounds like f
• gần has the vowel â, which is a short central vowel, not exactly English a
• tập ends with a final p, which is unreleased and very short
• tones matter a lot, so listening to native audio is important

If you want, a very rough rhythm is:

fawng tuhp uh guhn kohng tee

But that is only approximate; tones are essential for getting it right.

Mostly, gần means near or close, especially in physical space, as in this sentence.

Examples:

• Nhà gần trường. = The house is near the school.
• Quán cà phê gần đây. = The café is near here.

It can also be used in some broader senses, like being close in time or relationship, depending on context. But in Phòng tập ở gần công ty, it clearly refers to physical location.

Yes. Phòng tập ở gần công ty is a complete, natural sentence.

It sounds like a normal statement someone might say when giving information about location, for example:

• explaining where the gym is
• saying why a gym is convenient
• talking about places near work

Depending on context, a speaker might also add extra detail, such as:

• Phòng tập ở gần công ty của tôi. = The gym is near my company/office.
• Có một phòng tập ở gần công ty. = There is a gym near the company.

But your original sentence is already perfectly valid.

A few common ways are:

• Phòng tập ở gần công ty à? = The gym is near the company?
• Phòng tập có ở gần công ty không? = Is the gym near the company?
• Phòng tập ở đâu? = Where is the gym?

A useful pattern is:

• Có ... không? for yes/no questions
• ... à? for a lighter, conversational confirmation question
• ở đâu? for asking where something is

So if you want to turn the statement into a question, Phòng tập có ở gần công ty không? is a very clear learner-friendly model.
