i have a home made gym now.

recently, i'm thinking of either joining a gym, or buying more plates. pero am sure to check out the gyms dyan sa pinas pag-uwi ko. so to answer you question 6 lang ang gyms na napuntahan ko on and off.

highschool = 1 in novaliches, 1 in camp crame
college = 1 sa may morayta
sa mga hotels, pag bored ayun punta ko sa gym.

per visit membership lang ang kinukuha ko, dunno kung meron pa ganun klase dyan sa pinas.

yung squatteran na gym na sinimulan ko almost 2 years ago: 15 pesos per session, amoy bakal, walang e.fan, ice tubig for sale at malaki pa average sized classroom dahil super liit nun. mga equips winelding lang together..yung lat pulldown kadena yung tali imbis na tension rope kaya halos no effect, maayos naman yung mga plato, mas mabigat yung isang 35lb kesa sa isa. yung mga bars dun, may kalawang kaya pag dinikit mo sa shirt mo, may mantsa na. hardcore mga nabubuhat dun dati, made some friends, pero ngayon nawala na yung gym. water refilling station na yung place. awww! hahahaha!

sa PR gym ata sa anonas...ok lang though nanibago ko kasi kulang sa equips. nagbebenta ng tingi na supps, 5 pesos for 2 cups of water (never attempted to buy water coz i bring my own) may instructor pa na mukhang kargador ng kopra sa san pablo.

yung gym ko now, Anthony's gym. astig naman though Kilo-based nga lang, pero nasanay na rin ako. but i still convert mentally. hehehe. may abs machine kasi eh and ang kulang lang ng equip ay smith machine at seated calf raise machine. the rest, nandun. hindi aircon pero may vent at may fans naman. may free water, just bring your own baso.

I wanna try Myke's gym sa may Marikina - Tuazon area... mukang ok and medyong weight-lifting oriented, unlike FF. Too bad di sya as accessible for me sa umaga... Mura pa monthly.

Just like Arnie and his friends doon sa Gold's gym Venice,California circa 1975.Mga hardcore din.Tulungan sila sa mga techniques and style of training.

Ok nga humingi ng tips sa ganung lugar.

Theres no problem with "bulok equipments" as long that there's a good instructor. Agree?!

theveed · PBFB Admin

AGREE!

Fancy equipment is not required, dedication and hard work (along with safe equipment) is all that's needed.

yah agree pero honestly, i get really more confused when i ask my instructor on certain types of exercises...

just like let's say, on incline db curls for biceps....sabi nya for the INNER BICEPS daw yun...eh ang alam ko (from what i learned from many people like forums), this exercise develops the upper biceps which can be located at the tip of the shoulder delts...

tama ba?

I started nung 1989. My dad bought an all-in-one gym due to my kakulitan. I was 15 then, 4th year high school.

Then sometime 1997 I went to this small time gym near our house.

I enrolled in a real fitness center nung 1999. Sa Makati beside Coronado. Power Flex nga ba yon. Tapos it closed down.

Then sa Fitness International nung 2001 up to last January. Nagsara din.

Now, since this March lang, Gold's Express sa Makati Stock Exchange. Magsasara din kaya ito?

technically, there are only 2 parts sa bicep, inner and outer, walang upper or lower...

Never been to them fancy gyms here. I've worked out first at a hardcore gym over at Rizal Memorial way back 1989-1990, then I had some equipment here at home. Now I do my workout at home, and never bothered going to those fancy gyms.
