newly born warrior.

In April 2009, just the next day after I arrived in Jakarta, I went to Gold's Gym and got 14 days free trial there... (thanks to NC who happens to be a member there and helped me with the process :) This happened before I officially became a member at Celebrity Fitness. At that time, I was not too sure if I wanna take a membership at GG or CF. Good thing I got free trials, and it helped me a lot to make the decision later on. (well, as you all know which one I finally picked :)

So, quick review... GG is the newer one, compared to CF. Better interior, brand new equipments, and has a swimming pool. But, even though the equipments are brand new, they are lack on numbers... so, members have to wait for turns before they start doing exercise. And the worse thing is, they always have a big group of people using one machine or equipment. What even worse is, with that big group of people (3-5 people) they only sit there near the machine and talk to each other... Really really annoying and time wasting.

The worst thing is... THE GROUP EXERCISE STUDIO!!! Arrrghhhhhhhhhh... There is no single thing I like about the studio... The place is too small, the sound systems are terrible (too freakin loud), and the ceiling is damn short!!! The classes that I attended were pretty full at the time, but with such small space and short ceiling, I found myself very hard to breathe... It felt like we were racing to breathe... I really did not enjoy doing group classes there. What amazing experience was only this one BODYCOMBAT class I attended, the instructor used total 12 tracks... 3 HARDCORE MUAY-THAI TRACKS IN A ROW!!!! That is it! GG's group exercise is out of my suggestion, for those people who enjoy group exercise as much as I do. CF is wayyyyy much better...

Still with GG, but different story... Some of my friends are members at GG, so when I did my exercise there, it was easy to find familiar faces. There was this day I did BODYCOMBAT with one of my friend, she was a first timer that day... She found really hard to follow the choreo and techniques, but I'm glad that she enjoyed that 1 hour combat experience. After my free trials were over, I still hung-out with her, and I found out that she is now a BODYCOMBAT ADDICT!!! Yayyy...

So, a month later, I gave her ARNOLD COWEN's COMBAT WARRIOR for her birthday present. She was so happy when she opened my present, and since she was a newly born warrior, I hope that she will become a true warrior, and share her experiences with other people, so EVERYBODY WILL BECOME WARRIORS!!! BODYCOMBAT ADDICTS!!!
