Aircond gym VS Fan / Natural Ventilation

With Aircond Pros:
- Cool environment?
- Not really sweat - clean?
- Can workout longer?
- Quality workout?

With Aircond Cons:
- Too cold/dry - lazy/sleepy?
- hard to warmup?
- Gym easily Smelly (Sweat)?

With Fan / Natural Pros:
- Some say breeze?
- Easy to warmup
- Easy to sweat? (consider as pros for bbuilder?)

With Fan / Natural Cons:
- Sometimes hot (not really cold)?
- To many Sweat - not clean?
- To many Sweat - shorten workout duration?

issit all this really matter for bbuilder?

Just train la... Up to personal preference anyway. Does it really matter?

If this is the reason to delay starting Ur workout, then good luck to U... for me, it's got nothing to do with performance. Unless the gym is aircond to below freezing or 3-5C, which I dun think is the case. Unless U have the aircond blow directly to Ur face.. no issue at all. This is the same with those guys who dun workout becoz they dunno which shoe to wear..

It's more towards one's preference, whether Ur comfy or not.

TQ for the opinion & really appreciate!

I have started my workout in both condition. My personal opinion is gym with aircond is more comfortable & relaxing. Not so much sweat (can sweat much also in aircond condition - depends on people). I feel i can concentrete on quality of workouts rather than quantity of reps. From my personal observation also.. i saw many hardcore bbuilder went to gym with aircond..

But, to be consider also the aircond must not too cold & the air must be not smelly..

i prefer no fan and aircond. sweatsss....ahahaha


Chow

no fan no aircond = sauna gym lor.. haha

why bro?care to elaborate?any studies on this one..i've been hearing the same thing too..don't know how far it's true...

just the same theory of hot and cold i guess.
lets say u just finish working out, whole body heated up.
would u straight jump into a cold bath?
its not good for ur bones too i guess.
old ppl saying, i guess better be safe than sorry.

There is a study which I read, I believe it's on pubmed, that when training in higher humidity and temperature, the human growth hormones (HGH) is at a higher level compared to training in cold temps.

An interesting point.

Right..in that case, most Asians in hot, tropical countries would be bigger than most Mat Sallehs. Common sense will tell you that there are many other factors!

i'm confused now

Bingo! Exactly! There are other factors, and this is one of them.

Some say : Just do it !

Meh, I don't think so....I burn more and eat less in hot weather. Not sure about the rest of you.

You all just think way too much. Lol.

I beg to differ. In my opinion, like some of the others pointed out, it's all a matter of preferences. For me, I prefer to work out without any fan/air conditioning on. I work out to sweat, might as well sweat all the way. (I work out at home, so the sweat doesn't really bother other people lol)

SH*T ! malaysia is so hot! workout inside aircond oso sweat all over..

anyone can recommened me any gym without aircond nearby KL sentral? or brickfields, or sentul?
will be moving from penang soon, need a good Non air conditioned gym!

prefer a cooler gym, regardless whether is it air conditioned or not, so long the ventilation is good. It lengthens my stamina and my productivity, but I still sweat despite being under the air cond, then again it's personal preference.

I don't know about productivity and stamina but doesn't being in NZ during the winter freeze up everything? Training in winter, I couldn't even rest much. My heartbeat lowers extremely quick but I don't feel like I've recovered for the next set yet. The only way I could train was with a thick jacket on. (Note, the gym I went to was a warehouse gym and it's as cold inside as it is outside - the wind)
