So I live at Cheras Awana, at Taman Ceupacs there. The nearest gym is at Leisure Mall, which is Fitness First. I fear to go there because I heard Fitness First is expensive. Another thing is I would have to take bus to go there and come back. So there are gym fees and transportation fees. I am planning to do Stronglifts 5X5. And how much does the gym membership cause?

On the other hand, I am planning to make a home gym. I need only 3 things. A power cage, olympic bar with plates and a bench. And my budget is RM2500. But the problem is I do not know where the f*** to buy the equipment in our beloved country Malaysia. I only can find some stupid overpriced 10KG adjustable dumbbells anywhere I go.

So in the long run I am sure home gym is a better option. But where I can I get the equipments? And in the other hand, if I go to fitness first at leisure mall, how much does the membership cost. (I only need to use the free weights section). And is the gym crowded? Cause I hear people don't normally use the free weights, everyone is always using machines.

Mmm I'm not from Cheras area, But FF membership prices varies. My friend's fee is bout 159+ not so sure.

I think your home gym is going to cost more than that but my cousin make his own cage and all to save cost.

Why do you seem like an anti-social?

hi bro, good that you are interested to setup your own home gym. Anyway, RM2500 is not enough. It's only enough for you to buy a power cage.
U can click my name, find my older post. I have posted a photo of my home gym. it cost me almost 5k but its worth it in the long run. Btw, i would like to sell my weight plates (decagonal shape, (2.5kg, 5kg, 10kg, 15kg 20 kg) x 2), PM me if you want.

And RM 159 per month? That is f***ing alot! .... *dreams shattered*

Lol what? How is it that you have 2.5k for a home gym and not a gym membership?
That's easily almost two years worth of gym fees

And apekg, pls pm me a price, am interested..

No I mean both the home gym and gym option is expensive. Ok, nwrmine I will go for the gym option. So I would have to go to Fitness First at Leisure Mall since it's the most nearest from my place at Cheras Awana. So how much is it if I only wan to use the free weights?

well these kind of commercial gyms are like that. But as I said the price varies. I've met TF members running at RM89 contract.
Well if he invested the 2.5 his usage is unlimited, with 2.5k can only use for bout nearly 2 years?

This is one of the threads....which would give you some price indication.

Getting home GYM and plates in Msia, is kinda expensive, unless you brought it back from overseas.

Bro why not try The Peak? I think it only cost about 8/5 rm per entry

Well for a newbie like me i found out if you do any body building exercise etc you will hard to achieve the correct technique base on just computer. Gym is much better IMO just the atmosphere and people are so friendly plus the equipment So anyway Last time i just started i choose to go leisure mall too but having the same situation as you the transportation fee and the membership fee. There's an gym rm4 for adult only can from pandan jaya lrt walk there if you don't mind the walking 10 minutes.

/?
What is the gym name? and RM4.. nice! I'm 18 this year. So can?

It is true. Weight plate aint cheap man. 5 buck per kg. For simple2 workout yes can use dumbell at home. Plus need alot of space if home gym.

So better go to Gym and pay monthly fees. Try getho gym. It is better in term of environment. (For me la..)

Can i'm 16 Very very near my school only haha Know the Kompleks Sukan Kampung Pandan? Main entrance got a flyover.

Besides going to gym gives me more motivation. The people and the mirrors

OO, that ginasium rakyat?

2.5k is not nearly enough to have a decent home gym. a good bench is already RM600+ AT LEAST. and thats the cheapest equipment.

power cage, barbell + 100kg weights? do the math. thats the BARE MINIMUM you need for a gym, mind you.

Yup

Ok guys, I just need a gym that has a barbell, power cage, and a bench. That's all. And I live at Cheras Awana. So I would love a ghetto gym. And I'm sure it will be <RM 100. Fitness centre like Fitness First will just be a waste of money. I have no interest on treadmills, machines, and all that.

Hi Darren, The Peak has a gym? Do they have proper barbells and squat racks? Is it the gym called Muscle Up fitness?

Added on January 14, 2012, 3:24 amA pull-up bar, chair dips, a basic set of dumbbells won't cost you more than RM300, tops. You should be able to achive pretty decent results on those alone.

BASIC set of dumbbells? No way man. I am not looking to do all that stupid isolations. I want to heavy compounds and gain some serious muscle and strength. Not do some bicep curls every other day. In other words, Stronglifts 5X5.
