QUOTE(FirstOne @ Apr 27 2010, 01:11 AM) Trial? Lol. I had a bad experience today. Decline benching. Bunch of f***ing trainers (6 of them, 4 guys 2 girls) laughing and chatting away at a section of the weight floor. Asked them for a spot. They looked at each other and said sorry we're having meeting. Then one of the regular members saw my plight and offered to spot. He told me the reason why they ain't spotting is cos you ain't paying them. Bunch of twats. So i went to them again and said,"Hey about I train you guys want?" I charge cheaper than you all definitely". Then it all went down from there. |

I've been to three commercial gyms: CF, FF and True Fitness. I have had plesant encounters with CF and FF (there were some arses, but the good outweigh the bad). The worst is True Fitness. Bunch of dicks who think they're the man (!) when they've got flamingo legs.
And, yes, FF sucks for NOT having ANY decline benches in their branches. Sucks mad this. |

You must go to the Menara Maxis FF. They've taken away the good machines. I miss the old station where one can do a variety of tricep exercises and adjust the height but now it's gone. WTF!? They took the best machine away and added short ass benches only kindergarten children will find useful. Or midgets. |

or ... you can be pretty
i was doing the trial at celeb fitness in 1U and there's this trainer who always hangs around this hot chick. Every single day for the days i am there. And he is obviously not having a coaching session...cause it's like 2 hours sometimes. then sometimes he will say in a knowledgable voice that she's doing xxx wrong, should do yyy sad thing is...i think she looks more fit than him...lol |
