Hey Guys,

Been Training for a while now in Commercial Gyms such as Celebrity Fitness and Fitness First. The main problem I have with this type of gym is that they are lacking of Squat Racks, Bench and space to perform Deadlift as the Big 3 are an Integral part of my routine.

Any recommended gyms in Sunway or Setapak area? Hoping to find similar gym such as Barbel Bridgade. Now that is a good gym man.

There are days especially during peak hours where people will hog these equipments and I can only go to the gym after my work which is 7pm onwards. I press, squad and deadlift twice a week.

What time do you normally go to the gym?

I usually go right after work at 6:00pm, sometimes on weekend. Sure there are people using it when I'm there but I usually just swoop right in when there's no one using it. I'm not a gym freak but I always get to do the workout I usually do, including bench press, squat and deadlift.

But I admit that smaller Celebrity Fitness gyms lack equipment.

If the person using the equipment lift about the same amount of weight as you do, why not share? Plenty of people do it at the gym.

I do the same thing as well but sometimes there are just too many people doing a million sets on the equipments man. currently training in CF.

Most of the time when I'm in CF, I do ask and I dont mind sharing the equipment. But there are people who dont like sharing and will ask me to wait. Cant afford to as I have other obligations as well.

Regardless of what he is doing, as a member u hv the right to ask him to fuck off if he is playing with his phone. It is his sin already that I have to even ask.

Hey bro,
Saw your looking for a strength gym around Setapak area too.
Iron Fitness at Wangsa Maju Section 2 isn't too bad. It's infront of Metroview Condo, just on top of Pizza Hut. They have 2 levels and nice equipment.

you can try Muscle theory at Sunway. They have few squat racks, special area for deadlifts, but less bench press equipments. they only have 1 bench press station if im not mistaken. Good thing is the place is hoarded with students, and while they busy chit chat about girls and stuff, you can just slot in.

Not my everyday gym, but i do drop there once a while, mainly to deadlift with peace.

Went to YellowLab at Damansara yesterday. Newly open gym at third floor. Abit tiring to go up that high.
Not bad. They use Olympic Bumper Plates. I bang so hard on the floor without any noise.
