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.
