I got a free one week pass from someone. I might be going there for a week to workout for fun.

No, I'm just newbie. But I know some people there who used to work with me at my previous part time job. Now they work in celeb fitness (not as trainer), normal worker only. I just signed up this month (July), few weeks back. No, My sister dont do those, when I go work out, she go do her stuff, I dunno what lol. She also a newbie like me. T+1, are you going there tomorrow? damn, you go afterwork ar? My sister say after working hours many people. Cuz I plan to go there morning tomorrow. Maybe some other day?

Hey, I also just realized theres no power rack there. damn...at subang jaya branch got power rack or not ar? If dont have, then maybe we need to go together, or maybe with another guy also with us, we help each other to carry the weights and become power rack for each other lol. Bersatu teguh, bercerai roboh lolz. How about it?

I use the smith machine there for squats... but its slightly dangerous as it angles out as it goes down so you gotta place you feet in a similar position to your upper body or you'll kill your knees.

hey everyone ~~
all guys?? no girls??
any girls in town going to celebrity fitness??
i just joined a month ago ~~~ seldom go becos no partner ,, working out alone is kinda bored,, esp joining the dance session alone ,,, so alienated ,, T__T''

I'm a member there. Joined in December 04.
BUT...
I've been an idle member for god knows how many months... and I forgot to freeze my account. Not gonna quit though.

And I don't use the free weights.

Lol damn now i regret joining celebrity fitness without checking out all the other gym first. Damn student price attract me too much lolz


No girls...yet. But got girls at the gym what? lolz. when work out, try to get to know them la. If not, can join us alienated guys also lolz. I was thinking of joining hip hop, but dunno when yet.

Dont they charge you cannavaro? lol. You don't use free weights ...

Come join us all u guys & girls. So that we won't feel alienated. I also go there and people stare cock at me cuz I'm a n00b . damn suck man. PM me if wanna get together and go.

yes, i also found that smith machine is either bad for ur knee or ur lower back (u can choose by positioning ur feet). it may be true that no harm to ur knee & ur lower back if squat is performed in PERPECT form, but...

ur "tomorrow" should be today, i guess.
i m not going there today, already workout on sunday and monday. today is rest day.
i will go there on thursday night.

since u hv been there b4, maybe we met b4

a lot of girls in town going to celebrity fitness... but they r not in this forum

i see a lot of girls joining group class. i think most of them r alone, so it is quite easy to make some frens there... (easy to talk about, but harder to do, i hv been there for 2 months without making any new fren )

!! freeloader!

I'm going to change to Fitness First. The celebrity Fitness membership i just give to my sis . damn suck no power rack. how about you change with me also? quitting only cost RM188. Plus u only paid for 2 months right? paying Rm188 for your own future's good. lol. Darklight79 says Fitness First have power rack. I'm joining the one at the Curve. I've been there before as a guest with my friend a member.

lol some girls go with their bf or mommy (those teenage ones). My sis also work out alone there when I went with her. Damn suck one. Lol.

Lol. Well, i'll be meeting iliveunderwater this Saturday. We'll be training together I guess.

Uhh.. I just surveyed the FF in the curve last weekend, I'd recommend you stick with celebrity for a couple reasons. First off, even though they have power rack as well as t-bar rows there in FF, most of the compound machines are singular in count, meaning you'd wait long on peak hours.

Also, if you are into dips and pull-ups, the single machine there is, in my opinion, very crappy. First thing you'd notice on their pull-up/dip machine is it is assisted, and unlike the one in celebrity, I can't find a way to disable the assist. Also, the assist is via standing instead of at the knee level (I dont know if its adjustable, I couldnt adjust it when i was there). I've always done pull-ups and dips with my legs cross and knee pointed down, so it feels weird to me. Another thing is you have to climb way up, its around 3 feet off the ground and the steps are not at the side, but behind you. Its hard to describe, but its a very very weird setup and looks very likely to cause injury if not used properly.

The smith machine, also only one, is slightly different than the one in celebrity as it is purely vertical without any angle going downwards. It looks like it is built for squatting and vertical rows instead of benching as the instructions and pics on the machine shows.

The other problem I had with their weight room is space. It is smaller and a lot more cramped up than celebrity. The good thing there is the free juice/soda/drink bar as well as free locker with key. But no free towels. Anyway, try it out before cancelling your celebrity membership.

I disagree. Machines suck. They will never have the potential to build muscle like free weights.
The Smith sucks, for almost everything, period. All you need are free weights, db's and bb's.
I agree that the assisted station is weird but i found a way to disable the assist when i was training on a free pass there.

about what time? i would like to join too

Well smith is the safest option for me at celebrity as they dont have a power rack. I only use it for squats and behind the back shrugs.

yeah.. darklight's right.. i workout at FF @ the curve.. and i don't see any problems!?! the dip/pullup/chinup machine IS adjustable.. u just didn't know how to.. haha!! and i've been using it for a year now and don't see any problems there.. one power rack is better than NO power rack right?

one of the worst things i've noticed in celeb F in 1U is the flooring at the weights area.. it is dented!! everywhere also got signs of people dumping the weights and causing the floor to settle.. so everywhere u walk u'll feel holes.. the flooring at FF is MUCH MUCH better and better interms of quality..

i'm not trying to persuade everyone to quit celeb.. haha.. so chill k..

regarding towels... i've had the worst experience too.. twice i went there and used their towels there and they smell of shit.. LITERALLY!!! as if someone used it to wipe their ass before giving it to me.. so i'd really rather use my own towels for personal hygiene purposes..

agree with u on the first point. quality in free weight area of celebrity fitness need a lot of improvement...

regarding towels, ur experience is so weird... so far it doesn't happen to me. maybe the detergent smell like shit to u, kekeke

Lol, i've never had that towel experience, but I only take the small towel anyway and as a cover for the chairs, I'd never use it to wipe my body. How is the wait time in FF@curve on weekdays?

hey, u wanna join hip hop?? i joined G Funk every Sunday .. haha .. cant really catch up with the steps .. im quite slow to cope ... haha ... is hip hop for beginners??

lol I'm quitting celeb fitness. Cuz they don't have the important equipment that I needed to gain weight. You don't need to worry about yours steps, because I went on saturday or sunday last time, while working out, I saw a lot of women (mostly aunties type lol) in the dance room, and a lot couldn't really catch up with the steps properly, a lot just simply follow and spin only i think haha, except for the experienced ones. Hip hop is for everyone who is young! if you are young, learn hip hop or breakdance, it is cool and it fits with today's popular musics. Imagine yourself going to a friend's party and getting on the floor showing the hip hop or breakdance skills you have learned. A lot of your friends will be like wow. It's quite a cool dance, especially for teens. I dont know what is G-Funk . I wanted to learn hip hop last time but now I'm not really into it like last time, cause got too many other more important things that I wanna do. Hip hop is just side fun stuff for me

darun.. i rarely go to the curve on weekdays.. only on weekends.. but at the same time it doesn't matter!!

u see.. my best friend at the gym is the bloody power rack and the damn oly bar+plates.. NO ONE USES IT THERE!! so it's always mine.. hmm.. i should bring my deco stuff and start redecorating MY place.. i should even spray my name there..

to all u who go to the curve.. leave the power rack alone!! it's mine!! haha!!

hey anyone can tell me which epuipment can i use for reducing fats around :
1) arm
