Fitness first subang jaya

For those of you who don't know, fitness first subang finally opened at empire gallery mid may after a 2 month delay. I thought I would blog about my thoughts about the new gym.

Venue: love it! So much better than wisma consplant in the sense that parking is more convenient and there are tons of shops around.

The gym: I like the the open space they created for us to do our floor exercises and stuff. At wisma consplant there was no designated area so we had to do this near the machines which was cramped and uncomfortable. Also love the new rpm room (though I don't plan on going for an rpm class anytime soon!)
i'm not too comfortable with the machines though. I think this happens in any gym. You can get lost trying to figure out how to use the machines without looking like a fool around the numerous hunky guys around :) but to be fair, I haven't really spent time here yet so I can't say much.
I like the drink bar and lounge area. Definitely a lot more space than before and it's comfortable.
The equipment: hmmmm... Well when we first joined we were told that the new gym would be equipped with 100% brand new machines and equipment. So we were quite surprised to see about 50% of the equipment being recycled. Now I don't have a problem with using the old stuff but why mislead us?
The pool: another area where members were mislead. We were told that the pool was going to be a heated pool! That got us all excited thinking that after a nice workout, we can go soak and relax our muscles in the heated pool. But guess what? It turned out to be a normal swimming pool. Hmmm I wonder what happened to the heated part of it ? Oh well I'm glad they have a pool anyway because I love swimming and especially now that my back is acting up again, I can swim for exercise.

The staff: they are great! I like how they remember you and are always ready with a smile. Even louis the general manager (who I just found out has left) was regularly on the floor and always greeting us and actually remembered stuff we talked about. I like that! The personal trainers all seem to know their stuff. Some or rather a couple scare the hell out of me though. They look like they could crush me with one arm! :) their arms are bigger than my face!!!!

All in all I'm happy at FF. Definitely a hundred times better than experience at true fitness! Keep up the good work guys!
