Yup come come!

No more Attack class in Curve my friend was complaining.

Hardcore strength is not officially launched yet right? What they did the other time was only preview if I remember correctly ...then again, love the program. Went for the preview launch in Paradigm FF, super full. Not surprised, good looking instructors

Correction: No Attack in PARADIGM, not Curve. My bad.

Yes, agree. Attack and Step is bad for the knees, Pump is bad for the back - if your posture is not right.

In fact you're not supposed to do Attack too often in a week. I was told by one of the instructor that the max should be 3 classes a week and nothing more. But sometimes I'd get so gungho I would do 4-5 classes a week. I'd avoid moves like jumping lunges... will sometimes do the option instead. Wouldn't want to strain my knee too much

Ohmigosh I like Body Balance xD can't wait to go for the class this Sunday. Similarly to yoga, you'll need to do it right and not force yourself too much or you'll pull a muscle. I find BB better than yoga because they change pose much faster. Don't have to endure one pose for a long time like in yoga

No worries on the balancing part, you'll get used to it. It was also my first time trying out BB last week. Noticed my stiff body since I haven't been doing yoga for about 3 years. Do you feel body or leg ache after BB?

Hmmm agree, I don't feel ache too but my friend complained he felt pain all over especially the legs.

I was at Setia City FF last Tuesday - Cheryl's class. You?
Want to go for Chester's class this Sunday!

Brian? Brian Looi? love his Pump class xD he was so surprised to see me at Empire on Monday because I usually go for this Sunday class at KBT lol

Muahahahahaha you can join him at Summit!

Scared le... yeah I was told his RPM is good. I have yet to venture into RPM hehe
Actually all of his class is popular. Pump always full on weekend. His regulars will all come

Totally agree with you. That's one reason I have yet to step foot in Summit FF despite some interesting classes at times. I heard that the FF outlet is just average... and some of the classes really have serious issues with lack of members.

Omg one?! they need to do something about the club. Kesian the GXM there, must be under a lot of stress

Really? Shut for renovation?
They're closing the Empire GX for renovation starting tomorrow. The floor is seriously it's time.

Gym Regular Three Quarter Pants
Dri Fit Sports Bra
T-shirt or Sleeveless Sports Top

I'm a bit more particular about sports bra and pants because comfort, support and durability is important. I would wear casual t-shirt as a top at times but sports bra must be of a good brand.

Rather than peer pressure and social acceptance, you should look at protecting your feet as the priority. If you will be doing high intensity workout, a good pair of shoes is necessary to make sure you feet survives the impact.

There are many good brands : Skechers, NewBalance, Brooks, Nike, Adidas, Reebok etc. Different shoes serve different purpose... so make sure you buy the right ones.

Dri Fit sports bra is more comfortable, you don't feel that sticky and uncomfortable as it dries off fast. I have both Nike and Puma but Nike gives a firmer support than Puma. Costs me RM80 to RM100 per pair. Buy Nike

Another good option is Adidas - not bad. It's wired so have an even better support but costs RM150 per pair. However note that wearing it over prolonged period (eg. 6 hours or more), the wire will be uncomfortable on your skin. When I wear it for 2-3 hours it's fine. I don't know why.

Pants is up to you... not confident about showing legs (nothing to show anyway!) so I go for 3/4 pants. I find it more comfortable to move around. I would also recommend Nike's dri fit because it's smooth, fit and gives you good comfort. What I have is Puma which costs about RM70-RM80 per pair (celi cool - similar to dri fit).

Also depends on what sort of training you do and personal liking. Few of my male friends prefer dri fit top although some just wear normal t-shirt.

Giving me the shoe bag?

LOL Nike easier to get and price is fine, not exactly because of social acceptance (I don't really care about this because I've already have friends in the gym and not all of them wear branded items). To me the social acceptance is not important. Even if yes to a noob, it is only an initiation. Once you've made friends, they wouldn't care less what you wear unless they're not genuinely friends with you.

PUMA is something more affordable. For shoes I actually prefer NB or Skechers but too costly. Plan to get a pair of running shoe one day want to try doing marathon.

Which FF gym you plan to go to? Paradigm?

Sounds good, I'm also interested in the superheroes one... let me search whether got ladies size/ version

Aiyaaaaa~ I saw got female one - Batman and Superman but OP and not that nice. I saw the reversible bra, pretty good. Does it come with padding? Can help to check with your female friends? I pantang those with no padding -____-||

Every club has its own culture you need to get to know the people before passing or making judgments. Some may seem or appear to be lansi but once you get to know them, they're actually not (can't say much for those who indeed have an attitude).

Whose class was it?

Hahahahaha agree, FF membership (Platinum) is the most expensive one compared to the other chain but I guess members don't mind paying the premium price for better service.

Btw I went Avenue K last Saturday with my friend, pretty decent outlet and looks new. I was surprised to know that it's been around for 3-4 years already, well maintained club. Conveniently located next to the LRT...! Has got good view too

Oops Axis. That's one of the oldest FF around. You'll find the place a little less appealing compared to the newer outlets but it's still okay. Empire is relatively new and as Chiahau says, a Platinum outlet. Nice place but oh, you might find it a little challenging to look for the outlet as it's located in the SOHO actually.

What time were you @ AK? I was there from appx 10.40am to 1.30pm. Were you there too during that time? Went there to attend the 11am and 12.10pm class

If you happen to see a lady in thick red scarf around her neck like it was snowing, then you might have caught a glimpse of me as I leave the gym after shower ...oh btw I wasn't alone, I went with my gym kaki.
