My god was the place intimidating. The whole point of signing up for a trainer course was to avoid the confusion of the gym but there we were, back to square one and cluelessly hanging around.
I was called by a trainer a day before I entered, who hurriedly told me he wasn't free at my timing so I thought fine, I'll arrange with him for another time - next week 11am. Then a gigantic miscommunication occurred and they thought I signed all five of us up for 11am.
11am is the timing given to me. I didn't ask for it. Given.
Regardless, Daphne managed to get an instructor and she said the talk was smooth. No hard-selling, but no tips on the gym equipment too. Basically them outlining a long-term plan for her goals. Unless my instructor turns out to be Arnold Schwarzenegger undercover, I probably would be passing.
The gym was clean and small compared to the Fitness Firsts I've seen. There are three areas - a open area with full length mirrors for stretching, an cardio area with window panels facing pomo and an area with weights and heavier gym equipment. Guess which area me and the girls didn't dare to go!
The toilets were fucking gorgeous though. Quite an askew of priorities here. But anyway I wondered why the design was so familiar until I spotted a BIG Hotel sticker on their mirror. Not a bad touch, albeit unnecessary,
Spent a while working out wrongly on a machine till this trainer lightly pointed it out. Then spent time on a couch waiting for Daphne who was in a talk with her trainer till this trainer at the counter spoke to me. Eventually, he gave me useful advice on their equipment usage and helped me throughout the day willingly.
I went home feeling pretty unsatisfied but woke up with sore back and arm muscles so something must've worked? My most pleasant experience is still with the unintended counter guy trainer.
There are hourly classes most days where anyone can crash, I think. There's piloxing and kpop fitness and all sorts of weird bollywood stuff. Today was a dry run for us though, since most of the classes begun awkwardly before or after break fast timings. Fana and Syara opted out of one I think.
I'll probably update this on my final visit.
