I have been thinking about joining a fitness center around two months ago and after going to three major fitness center (True Fitness, Fitness First and California Fitness) to compare its package and monthly and trial, at the end I chose California Fitness (CF). On 12 December 2007, I signed up a year contract of bronze membership in CF. This membership’s joining fee is RM99 and each month’s fee is RM103. But, this type of membership only allows me to go to one branch (I choose Standard & Chartered KL branch) three days a week, Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Another condition of this bronze membership is there won’t be a towel service for me. This means that I need to bring my own towel. I have no problem with this condition because I don’t think I will vision myself going to workout everyday. And for the towel, I can bring my own. Not a problem.
I went on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. The only two machine I use is the “jogging machine” and the machine to work on my tummy. One of the main reasons of finding a fitness center to join is for the health. I need to exercise. It is good to get some sweat out. I need to work on my heart as I have low blood pressure before. Also I thought about imitating the Japanese for I heard that they sleep little but they are productive. They come to office as early as five a.m. to exercise in the office. Of course, I won’t be that extreme but I thought maybe I can have some exercise during my lunch time since my office is very near to CF. Indeed, I did that during of the day last week, my first week.. I just jogged for twenty minutes. Then, I took a quick bath and then back to office. I felt very fresh that afternoon.
I only went once, which is on monday 24 December. This time, I tried out different machine. First I tried to weight-lifting one and I like it after awhile. Then, I tried the cycling machine. Not bad. This cycling machine works on my leg muscle. The rest of the day, I didn’t go because I don’t well physically, feel like sick.
This week (Sun, 31 Dec 2007 – Sat, 5 Jan 2008)
Now, I feel a little better physically. So, I hope I can go there three times this week. On 1 January 2008, I plan to go there with Kak King, Joyce and Lai Har. When I joined this CF, they gave me a list of ten people whom I can refer for seven days free trial to work out at CF. So, if let’s say they came, then I left another seven more people whom I can refer for seven days free trial.
