Yesterday, me and Kel went for the free trial at Mid Valley, with all intentions to try out the hip hop class (and me forgeting that I have BAD legs and hands
coordination). Upon arrival, we was greeted by a consultant, filled in the usual forms and was given a tour of the place. The place is PACKED with people working out and 'walking' about. As we were close to being late for our class, we quickly collected the towels (they provide u a big and small towel, which is nice) and headed to the women's dressing room. Frankly, I hate the lockers! It's built in an odd 'F' shape, meaning the only usable place is the upper part of the locker. What happened to the conventional square lockers? Anyway, we got changed and head straight to the studio. Our hip hop class only lasted 10 minutes (yes we gave up) and decided to try out the stryder machine. There was hardly any unoccupied machines, noticed some of the machines were not 'oiled' as they were squeaking- v annoying. Non the less, we managed to have a good workout- didn't keep the time as we were busy chatting while swinging our legs hee. That's the beauty of having a Gym partner :P. After the fulfilling workout, we head for the shower. The shower cubicle is 5x smaller than the ones in RHB Gym- yes it was v stress to find place to hang my stuff. Got out and change, rush out and met the consultant. He was busy so we were 'entertained' by another of his collegue, which was rather RUDE. We asked about the 7 days free trial and he said it doesn't exist and it's only a 1 time trial (they obviously have not visited their own website). Asked about the RM35 for 6 weeks of workout+ 1 personal trainer session, he got a little impatient and said, if you feel u want to be healthy and work out, then why not sign up for a permanent package? Well, I didn't want to waste my breath to tell him that I've been working out in my office's Gym and was deciding on joining a fitness centre to try out the class exercises. By then, me and Kel were a lil bit pissed off (and hungry too), we gave him the 'we wish to consider further' and walked out. Instead of feeling 'relaxed' after a good workout, I ended up feeling pretty 'stressed' out. Probably caused by the crowd, queuing up for things, the 'red' around the centre and of course, the 'unmotivated' consultants . I'm sticking to RHB Gym- the best so far :)
