Clubfitt gyms-some thoughts
-
I have been to the ones at Clementi,Delta,Kallang.
Delta(5 mins walk from Tiong Bahru Plaza)
pros
-got 2 30 kg babies which I aim to overhead press by new year.
cons
-got a lot of ah beng poser types who diao people
-not very accesible(have to take bus and walk 15 mins unless i wanna take 2 buses)
-cannot do weighted dips and chin ups(there is a notice explicitly telling you not to bring the free weights to the machine area)
Clementi(at Clementi central)
pros
-can do weighted dips and chin ups
cons
-got a lot of ah beng poser types who diao people
-no power rack
-dumbbells max is 20kg I think
-the dip bars seem to be flimsy. When I use 1 plate,keep shaking...
Kallang(Inside national stadium)
pros
-nice environment there(always go to stadium waterfront area chill out after I train,last time got Leisure park even better,go and chill at the food court)
-got power rack
-the people there are friendly,a few of the mat BB type are very nice people
cons
-cannot do weighted dips(dip bar over at machine area)
-dumbbells too light
planning to visit EVERY SINGLE clubfitt gyms around Singapore,next stop= Hougang,Toa Payoh,Jurong East.Watch this space -

Bishan gym has some weird people though, all they do are 3/4 or more ISOLATION exercises and they still wear a belt and act like the big shi-t.

went to Bishan clubfitt yesterday.
I did weighted hammers,militaries and rack deadlifts.
Pros
-the pull up bar set up got hammer grip
-got dips bar
-there is a power rack
Cons
-the music is too loud and too distracting
-the color of the wall-yellow-is very glaring
-u cannot check your form when doing rack work
As usual,there were the curlers and the tag team partners and they were all teens.
2 teens in singlets using a single barbell and doing heavy partial curls together if you know what i mean.
After completing the set,they walked around the gym with this "aint i impressive" look on their faces.
I can only shake my head and carry on with my training.
When I took out my dip belt,they probably had no idea what was that.They must be thinking:"How come this lifting belt got metal chains 1 ah???"
Then when I did my weighted hammers,they thought I was an alien from Planet Zorocs. -
Just put some pics up if anyone wants to see
We have a different type of membership - coaching only. We also limit membership.

How many Kg weighted did you do?
-
4 sets of 6 of 15kg.Originally posted by Simon Dean:How many Kg weighted did you do? -
went to pierre's territory today hougang clubfitt
The place is pretty new and big. Seemed to have the private gym feeling when I was there.
The plates there are hexagonal and there are gaps in them to facilitate handling and loading-Good
Facilities wise,similar to most other public gyms.Dumbbells are very light though.I think the max is only 20kg. I noticed there are more machines too compared to other gyms.
As for the patrons,the same old story la...you know...
PS: Next time if i wanna explore,not gonna do actual training in them coz the change of environment actually affected my training.
If I wanna explore,I will go on a non training day and do some bodyweight movements.
