Any agent contact can share? Is this a net cost? Very expensive for a 3 year + contract. Avoid contracts that are more than 12mths in tenure. You never know when the gym might close down and leave all members in the lurch. thickpec 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Topdownunder Posted May 16, 2016 Report Share Posted May 16, 2016 Looking for advise here. I would like to have access to a gym while visiting sg for 3 weeks. Not really looking for a sleazy gym with guys hanging in the toilets. Will be staying in the west and happy to travel but don't want to go into the cbd to gym. Which gym will be good for me? I usually do cardio 2 times a week and lift 3-4 times a week. Thanks ahead. Would appreciate any help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was there from 2.40 till 4 pm. It wasn't as crowded as expected. The crowd started to pick up as I was leaving. Pretty new equipment. Just regular guys working out. No cruising as far as I could tell which is great. Some eye candy but everyone played it straight. They also have a loyalty card for casual visitors. Will definitely be going back while I am in sg.

Chris Low Posted July 7, 2016 Report Share Posted July 7, 2016 california is in serious need of renovation/maintenance. seriously, don't join the gym unless its dirt cheap and short tenure. given Cali Fitness issues in hk, (bankruptcy petition/ winding down). and that singapore ones are in such a sad state of maintenance (eg: black mold/mildew on shower curtains, ceiling surfaces, broken toilet seats, bugis steam room probably has a busted termister, so that its 3rd degree skin melting hot if you sit (literally, you will get 3rd degree burns), so hot that the heat seaps into the locker room walls, grout leaking, pools of water on the floor (probably concrete failure from all the heat). also who knows if the water cooler filters have ever been replaced.

Any agent contact can share? This is quite a gd rate for True Fitness. I know of people paying $60/mth for Cali. TF over Cali anytime for me cos Cali is more crowded than TF and their equipment are not as new and not well maintained. Btw for TF, if you sign up/renew your packages, they will throw in 1 or 2 free Personal Training sessions. After the 'free' PT sessions, they will hard sell you (alot) to buy PT packages. If you know that you dun require or wont sign up for PT, dun take up those 'free' sessions. If you are interested in PT sessions, I recommend those private or boutique gyms. Their trainers make sure you get results. Those commercial ones (Cali/TF/FF etc) are more interested in profits though there are some okay ones. I have personally seen trainers there with belly, seriously how to trust a trainer whose body is out of shape? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hunkchaser Posted July 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2016 Due to closure of California Fitness, I am considering joining Anytime Fitness. Does anyone here go to AF Hougang or nex? How is the crowd around 8-10pm? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
numchucks Posted July 20, 2016 Report Share Posted July 20, 2016 I wouldn't start with Hougang as a first branch, unless you stay near there. It's hard to get to (if you don't drive) and you'd be stuck for one month there before access is triggered elsewhere. Also note that Hougang is within a CC, so it has no shower facilities. Nex is super crowded during peak including 8 to 10 pm, if that's what you asking. Or are you asking if there are eye candies during this time? 4 hours ago, hunkchaser said: Due to closure of California Fitness, I am considering joining Anytime Fitness.

paddle_up Posted July 25, 2016 Report Share Posted July 25, 2016 (edited) Pure Fitness Pure fitness is one of the better fitness center existing locally but it has only one location at the moment. Workout area The workout area is huge, with ample free weights and machines. There are 2 bench presses and 2 inclined bench presses which make waiting time minimal as many do use these equipment for chest training. There are 3 body building platform for those into serious body building workouts. There is a short track for legs training as well as 2 huge trunk tyre for your unconventional workout. Cardio area The cardio area is located towards the end of the gym, with ample cardio training machines. Pretty decent view facing the Marina Bay Suites apartment. Stretch and abs training area There is a dedicated stretch and abs training area which does not obstruct any movement of gym users using the other areas of the fitness center. Personally, it is a great fitness center to work out in as there are ample machines and equipment for usage and the wait can be minimal. The clientele can be a little intimidating as many are serious gym users as seen in their bods, mainly comprised of equal mix of locals and foreigners. I don’t find it cruisy at all, hmmmm, maybe just that the people there are not into me. The steam and sauna areas are under-utilized, as many a times, they are empty. Hope you guys have a fulfilling and healthy lifestyle. Edited July 25, 2016 by paddle_up CuriousTips 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

angrybird Posted October 19, 2016 Report Share Posted October 19, 2016 (edited) The equipment is packed pretty close. I drop by during the weekends - the peak is 10ish to 2ish and then from 5ish to 9 pm Otherwise, if you drop in early mornings or late afternoons, it's not too bad. It closes pretty early on weekends though. On 7/25/2016 at 6:41 PM, Guest AMK said: Any members of true fitness in AMK? Thinking of joining since Cali went bust.
