i miss school life at KL too (2 years ago), so much free time to go gym or here and there.

Hi guys... any comments in icc club ipoh? about their facilities and the fees... looking for a gym center around parade or jalan kampar, any recommendation? Thanks

around parade not sure... but jalan kampar the one behind the store lah i think.... since i am also planning to go there one of these days... (i never been to a gym before... )

hahaha, what a coincidence, I'm going around there to look for a gym as well

where is k1 claypot rice? k10 or k1?

k10 i guess.

can gimme the full address? is it near the old pasar pagi of bercham?

DIY equipment are not good?

Body Alignment
If you know Klinik 1 malaysia bercham then you will know where its located. Its just opposite 1 Malaysia clinic. ground floor is a Tyre shop now.

been there for several months but stopped because of work. most of the equipment are old and rusted with 1 smith machine, 1 power rack, 3 flat benches, 1 adjustable bench, 1 leg press machine, 1 leg curl, several bicycles (most got problem ><), 1 preacher machine curl, a 4 in 1 machine (lat pull down, decline crunch, leg curl & bench press/shoulder press) to name a few.

dumbbell 1 set for each weight, so sometimes you might need to wait for your turn.

they sell some gym equipment as well e.g. glove, attire & supplement.

Registration fee is Rm50. Monthly fee is Rm50 per month. If you sign up and pay 3 months, registration fee will be waive. They allow walk in customer as well. Rm 5 per visit. Open daily from 3.30pm to 9pm and close on sunday & PH. No air conditioner

Hey, sorry for resurrecting an old thread but there's only handful of Ipoh boys around who appreciate power rack.

I'm actually looking for decent gym with power rack in Ipoh, preferably with some ~1kg weights for barbell incremental load for Starting Strength program. Bonus if there's places for me to Power Clean.

Just expired from Fitness Embassy, decent overpriced place except they don't have power rack.

Tried BodyAlignment, but (at that time) they only have one 20kg barbell, therefore if someone is using then I'll have to wait till he finish his whole 1 hour workout (yikes). Plus the barbell was rusty, & so is the power rack. Bench press has 2 fixed height for barbell that is either too low or too high for my length of hand. But, I can't complain the price (RM50/mo).

Went to Muszle Warrior, talked to a boy who actually told me I should deadlift in a power rack (/facepalm). They're asking for RM100/mo IIRC. But overall a nice environment for musclehead.

Visited the gym near Ipoh Classic Spa, there's a changing room, sauna room too I think, huge dumbbells, clean, but no power rack ;(

Went to visit Power Man Gym @ Ipoh Jaya.

As @razorboy described, it is the most complete gym.

Power rack available, at least three 20kg barbell, spacious (2 shop lot space), clean (shifted here 1 year), lockers available. Dumbbells (heavy available) & machine are mostly new (not that I care).

Yet to discover any major downside, except bench press rack's position, which is blocked by wall, therefore spotter not allowed to stand behind lifter's head position.

& most importantly, RM70/month! I'm sold.

Now, what's wrong with doing deads in a power rack?

I find it useful to ward off anyone getting too close to you while doing the lift. Doing it in the middle of the gym floor is just plain dangerous with people sidestepping you. Breaks your focus.

Anyone heard of the lifestyle fitness in Ipoh?
How was the equipment and the fees or any member from there?

What is the operation hour for power man gym?

correct me if I'm wrong @members of power man.

iirc , 7am - 11am, 3pm - 10pm. closed on public holidays and sundays.
something along the lines of that

If begin from KFC gunung rapat, how to go powerman gym @ ipoh jaya?

Petronas on your right, go straight pass 2 traffic lights. The moment you see two esso petrol stations directly opposite, turn in, same rows as the shops as the left esso station.

Bodywork fitness and BZ gym. Both in Taman Botani. Both have no racks. Bodywork is newly opened. Bodywork > BZ
