x2

I went in the evening, about 4PM to 7PM. The crowd started to build up from 6PM. And thanks to the roofless carpark in IOI mall, I walked gracefully in rain.

Woohoo....I see some sunlight. I just looked outta my office...no more rain!!
No one has to walk to FF in the rain today.

In light of more and more people doing weights, especially free weights.

Maybe it's time for Fitness First to upgrade their equipments and increase size of the free-weight rooms.

Especially the one at Manulife and Damansara Uptown, free weight session is quite small.

Shall we fill up the "Hey manager..." slips?
while at that.. i want the 1.25kg plates in Manulife as well... so annoying to jump 5 kgs all the time..

the plates are in kg in fitness first?

Yeah I agree Neek. That would be a lot feasible in doing bicep curls and tricep curls.

To Disciple,

All plates used for smith machine/benchpress/shouldpress/squats are in kgs in Fitness First ranging from 10kg being the lightest to 25kg being the heaviest.

Cheers,

Ken

Er.... 1.25kg being the lightest

Can increase by 1.25kg per side when trying to increase weight, ie. 2.5kg instead of having to put 2.5kg each side.

This especially holds true when doing bicep curls. I doubt many people can increase 5kg for every increment when doing barbell bicep curls or tricep curls for that matter.

Buy em microplates. I personally carry them everywhere

plates not cheap ler.
and i dun mind 2.5kg jumps. thats not too bad.
the problem is, Manulife FF does NOT have 1.25kg plates like the OTHER FFs.
the lightest they have is 2.5kg plates.. meaning one on each side is 5kg jumps.

they do have that small silver 2.5 lbs plates.. but those frequently go missing and only 3 pieces of that. sigh.

newbies like me getting a hard time in Manulife

and i think weight training habits are picking up... Manulife needs to expand the weights section AGAIN!
they expanded once ald... still not enough!!

Yeah, I went there 4-7PM again today. No more rain.

Neek, I guess u'll have to train somewhere else ledi. A 5kg jump is a lot ler... lucky IOI got 1.25kg plates...otherwise i'm doomed too.
U could try filling up their feedback form asking them to purchase microplates for Manulife.

I think i'm gonna visit another FF, Curve or Axis or whatever, and take a couple of those 1.25kg plates into my bag... and then drop em off at Manulife the next time i get there

Careful, they have CCTVs everywhere.

sorry..edited.

hello people!
im not sure if this is the appropriate
topic to ask this question but since this
is a topic on Fitness First i might as well
drop it in here rather than opening a new topic!

ok,anyone here that has any experience terminating
FF membership altho the 1 year contract hasnt been
fulfilled yet?my story goes like this,i was studying in KL
in 2006 when i registered at FF and knowing that there will
be another 1.5yrs for me being there i took up their offer
and registered for 1yr membership.but now,i have relocated
before the 1yr contract was up and need to terminate
the membership...

so,to anyone who has been in this situation before or
knowing sum1 else who had,i need to know how much
penalty was imposed..

thanks!!!

Whats your monthly fee like? Maybe can transfer

Syd, you want to register another account? Lol..

Hmm.. I wonder if any PT is a member in this forum.

No I'm quitting end of Dec. I cant afford the lifestyle anymore.

Will go back to university tracks, weighted vests, sandbags, swissball, kettlebells and other misc items.

I guess I'm more of a strength & conditioning person. Gym = optional
