Without a doubt yes. Its called bodybuilding for a reason not fat building. Do you know how many people I meet claim to be bodybuilders but look like they eat pork chop 5 times a day?

Ppl pinching pimples @ the free weight area with their face 1cm away from the mirror! Seen once in taipan true fitness n once more in jaya33

There's an annoying trainer there who acts like he's the shit and talks loud all the time. Used to have blond hair, now redyed it black. jamis, me and kaperskyfan hate the fella. We have labelled him "golden retriever". Know him?

Saw him today wearing ski cap. He loves to shout & talk & laugh super loud right?

Yes. Uneducated piece of shit. And he has one client, a fella who wears glasses with short hair who grunts and screams like he's more hardcore than Branch Warren but throughout the months I see minimal improvement on his physique. Have you see the way he trains him? Forced reps forced reps forced reps. Lousy lousy trainer. And Mr Golden Retriever has juiced before. So maybe that training style might have worked for him but not for his natty client.

Don't pin it on the client la. Probably influenced by your doggie friend only.

Well he should realize he's not improving. Lol. But so far most of the PT's at Jaya 33 True Fitness are pretty good. I've seen their clients improving week by week, month by month. Don't know about the fresh new PT's though.

Kl pt's are better than Ipoh pt's in general. Seriously. You won't believe the kind of shit they preach here -.-

Eg.?

Kalo mau cut, bawa lipo 6 je. Main high rep , main machine. Kalo nak tangan cut, main high rep tangan. Then proceeds to munch on random junk or randomly sing along loudly to the gym loudspeaker.

LOL this is exactly like the caretaker in my gym. Almost always eating either fried bananas or rojak when I'm there. Nice fella, though.

Oh yea, when I started out, I had a big ass belly, they told me to do machine crunches with weights every day to loose fat fast. I followed that shit until I found here and spent hours on reading. Ahh the gold old days of being a total newbie. Whatanidiot.

Lol... on an OT note, I've been training at Giza's TF. I love the environment there, small but VERY good machines. The PT's there didn't believe me when I told them all my arm workouts are only cable work with a Smith machine CGBP or weighted dips thrown in sometimes. So today I camped at the cable attachment station for almost an hour.

How on earth do you keep training everywhere

I need a change of environment sometimes. It gets stale training all the time in the same place. Like dating the same woman repeatedly. Plus my membership is passport what.

this sounds like pt's for normal shoplot gyms, right? well fitness centers are different in a sense that they actually teach them the basic pt stuff, first before being able to get clients. they have different levels of PT's, too.

Ahh, kl. in Ipoh we date the same woman for years

Fitness center here. Lol

Fitness centers have been getting a lot of bad reputation recently. Heck, not just recently but all the time. But imho, in some ways it can be way better than ghetto gyms. Research and development have progressed by leaps and bounds. Some even function better than the conventional barbell and dumbbell presses. All my chest workouts are pure machine based, I've not touched free weights for that bodypart in months. Shoulders also machine based.

zz wtf, lol. oh well im kinda glad that the pt's at my place are better, at least...

I mean, I guess if you learn to zone out annoying people there and the shitty noise from the group exercise classes, one can have a really enjoyable workout.
