I think the reason for that is because they aren't many people who does that.

Heck, there aren't many people who uses the free weights session over here. So I doubt FF would build a specialized area just for Olympic lifting.

Just before I left Melbourne, my university have a decent sized room dedicated for Olympic lifters. The requirements is that you always need a coach to oversee your training and a medic on stand by, just in case you hurt yourself. Sounds very professional to me.

Is it safe to keep laptops in the locker? otherwise, do FF provide a safe place to keep laptops?

it's probably safer than leaving it in the car boot. check with the counter ppl.

Heck, I doubt any commercial gyms have oly section

Hi.. I wanna join Fitness First.... How much per month? Izzit have to pay 1 whole year or pay per month?

Dear all,

My last day in Manulife Fitness First will be on Saturday after the final move to Oneworld Hotel office block.

I am glad to meet so many people that I will probably miss when I go to Damansara Uptown ones.

I will write a tribute here and in my workout journal for those who I've known in Manulife Fitness First.

Thanks guys.

Cheers,

Ken

Haiya, I definitely must thanked to those who made my gym life here so much fun and interesting.

Without that, I probably won't look forward to go to gym.

Thanks to work and moving boxes this week and last, I was unable to attend gym till tomorrow.

Since you have passport membership I'm sure you could drop by Manulife maybe on weekends too.

Dear good people,

If you have time or want to kill some boredom, please look up www.malaysiaupclose.blogspot.com.

I belong to a group that calls itself Outskirt Outreach, based in Ipoh. We raise fund to help hidden Orang Asli communities around Kinta valley. The main aim of starting this blog is to give urbanites and young generation a window to look and learn about the countryside, one that has nothing to do with Taman-Negara-like touristy spots. This is real.

Do visit our blog regularly as it is updated on weekly basis with lots of interesting stories, photos and points to ponder. It's about spurring everyone's intellectual curiousity and educating oneselves about Malaysian outdoors. We organise rainforest trekking trips for exercise on periodical basis. Look out for annoucement on the blog.

We welcome feedbacks. Thanks a heap.

I'd strongly suggest going to The Curve branch. Better parking n equipments

May I know what is Home and passport?

Home - you could only go to that particular branch where u registered.

Passport - can use this to go any branch nationwide or worldwide.

Home = you can only access 1 outlet
Passport = you can access all outlets in malaysia and also oversea

I just join passport package on 28 april 2008 in The Curve, they charge me:-

admin fee: rm99
month may: rm 141
total = rm240 (no need to pay deposit)

after may onwards, i need to pay rm175/month

if u wan towel, u need to add rm20/month

oh understand already.... thanks

Btw there's also Fitness First branch at KLCC right?

Thanks, I will alternate between both Curve and Uptown ones.

Uptown one is a lot closer to my home than Curve (less than 5 mins from home), I carpool to work so it's not convenient half the time.

Uptown has a lot of cardiovascular equipment but really lacks in free weights area big time. They should really upgrade that area.

Might drop by Curve during Mondays or Wednesdays.

Cheers

I use the Uptown one for the same reason.

Also because there's a McDonald's right next door. Yum!

Also there's a Subway Restaurant like the other side of the road.

Subway is really expensive man, I had like a foot long one for RM25 or more.

When do you hit the gym, Angrydog?

I probably will be hitting the gym randomly on the week after work probably around 6-7 pm, hopefully 3 times a week....

Cheers

Ken
