lets do the twist :p

so okay, let's get few things straight, no its not really a gym but it has the basic gym equipments and yes, there are actually 'real sizes' people there, ok? :p

that's the two most frequently asked questions about this health centre that i have just joined early last month, in an effort to keep myself fitter and well, healthier :)

im not going to disclose to you the name of the centre, please email me if u want to know more, but i can tell you its located about 20 minutes walk from my office in Jln Ampang :p

what i can also tell you are the following;

1. they have plenty of martial arts classes like taekwondo, judo, all the other 'dos' and they have range from beginners to advanced, and u can actually choose to join the classes for fun and purely for getting fit and losing weight, or u can do it seriously and actually get belts and go for exams and join in tournaments

2. they have kickboxing! a real kick ass kick boxing classes that if you actually attend religiously for all the classes three times a week, i can bet you a significant loss in your weight, like seriously.

3. they have fun dance classes, mtv style, hip hop, line dancing, belly dancing etc so far ive tried mtv style (really tiring and the moves, aiyoo, ala rihanna + usher + jlo + m.daud kilau) and belly dancing, my current favourite, complete with that coin skirts, you know, those that goes 'kching kching' whenever u shake yr booty :p

what i like about the place;

1. on my first day there were no charts or scary looking forms that i need to fill out painstakingly of how many sit ups, press ups or how many miles ive run on the treadmill. u know, those small tables on cards with your weight and height on it, and your content of fat etc etc - which scares me off so much putting it in black and white like that and makes me utterly miserable that i lost hope all together even before i start the bloody exercise! instead they just give me my gear, showed me to the ladies changing, give me the class schedules and leave me alone with just one simple instruction - try to join and come for as many classes as you can and have fun!

2. there are people with real sizes there, not size -4 wannabes working out their size zeros bodies to the bones in their latest designer matching workout gear and gleaming ipods stuck to their wrists. instead you have people from all walks of lifes, to uncles and aunties doing taichi, mothers laughingly doing the belly dance, getting together after work, kids seriously doing the taekwandos while their mothers cheer them on, and normal yuppies like me, who would just joined a class even tho i was late for it, because the instructor happily beckons you in and greet u like a personal friend :) sounds like Disneyland huh? hahaha i know, i get carried away sometimes with my descriptions, and tend to exaggerates a bit (okay okay, maybe a lot :p) but in all fairness, that's how i viewed the place. why dont u come and see for yourself?

3. they got free fruit lollies! yummmyyy its well stocked in the ice cream box and also they have cordials u can make your own if you feel like something sweet :p

4. its not male infested area (no offense to guys out there) but its comfortably mixed of both genders and the weights and press ups and what nots are not conquered by guys which means u can a have turn there without having have to wipe the male sweat first (eeuww) or being ogled and snickered at just because you can only 10 push ups..need i say more?

okay, the negative part?

the parking! its rm3.50 per entry! on some days i would walk from the office but as it rains most of the time now, i cant do that and also, because i cant leave early from work i had to rush there and the fastest way to get there is to drive there so now i try to persuade some office mates to join the club so that we can share the parking fee hehe

so that's it folks, so come on, lets do some 'kching kching' together (^_^)
