Hi guys,

about to switch my workout routine from bodyweight-only to "LeanGains" style, so effectively a lifting newbie. Now my yoga mat is no longer enough -- I need a weight-room!

Seems like for "Starting Strength"-style programs essentially I only need a barbell and a "squat rack".

So I'm asking for gym recommendations within a 0-6km radius of Plaza Mont Kiara. I'm gonna be walking or cycling there so no farther than that. Not gonna be that person who sits 2 hours in car traffic to get to a 40-minute workout!

Sure I could just walk into the next fancy mall's Fitness First or TrueFitness or whatever glitzy lifestyle gym and sign up for a way overpriced membership. But then, I'm never gonna use their cardio or weight machines, dumbells, saunas or whatever other fancy gadgetry they have. Wondering if there are more affordable "low-fi" kinda backstreet gyms out there in this town? Again, barbells are all I need?

Where to go?

Hi u can try a gehtto gym opening soon at desa sri hartamas on top of caring pharmacy,its call muscle brothers.open 11am-11pm daily

if u have the budget by all means go for commercial gym. apart from the facilities u just mentioned, they do have pretty decent machines for bodybuilding.

I agree here. The only person who can make a gym hardcore is the person himself.

there's a crossfit gym is Solaris, barbells, kettlebells etc.

Crossfit Vidatha, if I am not wrong.
Can Fb search them
