Currently, im working at Sim. Pulai. So, im looking for gym at nearby and furthest also Ipoh.

Is there any gym around this area??

I happen to find one but it is extremely expensive. So I hope look for a cheaper one regarding my financial status sad.gif

Perhaps, can leave the address and i'll look for it when i finish my work.

Thanks in advance.

I managed to find two of them. two of them is on the way to gopeng (from ipoh). One of them is body alignment, which member fees cost 100bucks and month 50. The equipment there are kind of old and not much. The other one, i cant remember the name as i went yesterday night. The lifetime membership 350 + 20 = 370 for first month payment. 20 bucks is for membership card. Monthly fee are 100 bucks. The equipment there are cool and quite many machine there. Perhaps can give it a try..it's quite comfortable compare to the first one..

both of the gym will be located on your right side. One of them you can see it very "clear" cause quite a big building while one more is upstairs as soon as pass by the big one.

thanks for the info guys. I've been wondering about that VS gym and fitness center, the one with kopitiam. Never knew there are other gyms in ipoh as well. I have a question though.. are they all with contract?

I'm already a member of fitness first platinum in KL, but i'll be in ipoh for 3 months, so to kill time i want to workout.. but i don't know which gym doesn't have contract.. and i'm not looking at the ones without aircond, lol.

Im in VS Gym & Fitness right now. Im not sure what kind of contract but they required member fees.

U can go by session but i don't think it worth that price because it is really expensive ; RM 20 per session.

So, if u are going to that gym real ofren, i suggest you to join rather than keep on paying 20 bucks everytime.

FYI, the gym is equipped with air-con ( that's the bad part) but the equipment is good enough for me.

how much for the membership of VS gym? ...  and is the '2nd gym' the gym name? where is it?
thanks for the info

Regarding the price, i already stated in the previous post.

The 2nd gym is about 400m-500m away from VS. If you are coming from ipoh, then you will see the VS gym first then follow up by Body Alignment (2nd gym). Both of the gym will be on your right. So, u need to take a U-turn to get to the gym.

biggrin.gif chill...

most gyms in ipoh do not have contract. instead, they require the members to pay a certain amount for the life membership. some are as low as rm50.

fitness embassy in kinta city however has the contract, just like most gyms in kl. and they have platinum/gold/silver/whatever memberships for u to choose from. last week they were still having promotion where you pay rm399 for 3 months trial. i'm not sure if the offer is still running.

so, if u r only going to use the gym for 3 months, i suppose fitness embassy will be more worthy to join instead of vs gym. here's the comparison:

fitness embassy: rm399 for 3 months free trial. total rm399.
vs gym: rm350 membership + rm20 access card. 1st month included. 2nd and 3rd month at rm100 per month. total rm570.

one extra thing they have in fitness embassy is the sauna. i guess most girls would love to have that.

is it bad to workout in an air-con gym?
*
For me, i like to sweat damn a lot but under air con, it really makes me chill...just like i've cool down everything just after 5 minutes of rest.

The sweat just like wont be coming out =.=" i dont like that...some ppl don't like to get real sweat but i do he3...

so, i stay quite far away from where the air con facing and move to a warmer place..
