Gyms in Manila

[BabyBlueNote]

where are the good gyms around manila?? does anyone know any that has access to a sauna bath as well?

[k3rwin]

Slimmers World located at Pan Pacific Hotel and in Binondo. Pan Pacific Branch have free use of sauna.

[BabyBlueNote]

hey thanks!!

btw, ur avatar is adorable, where did u get it, or how did u make it?? (sorry, for being off topic!)

[trent_NIN]

I heard the one in RCBC Plaza in Makati is excellent.

The Slimmers in Megamall daw is crowded nowadays since one of the branches in Greenhills burned down.

I go to Polo Club which is very boring and it lacks equipment. I am still looking for a good gym with a cheap price... and interesting people of course :glee:

[otaku]

Polo Club is only accessible if you are a member. Equipment is old though its very spacious even during peak hours.

Slimmers on Pasay Road is alright. Equipment is good, both free weights and machines. Gets pretty crowded though during peak. Good mix of people.

Clark Hatch in Hotel Intercon is very cramped. Equipment is cybex with a few free weights.

Bramante Gym at Renaissance Tower in Pasig is ok. Its cramped especially during peak though they might expand the area.

RCBC gym is the newest one. There was a promo for memberships. Spacious gym but has the most expensive fees and the location is not too good. Its just too out of the way.

[popie]

just joined a new gym in makati. fitness first, 8th floor, jg summit bldg, ayala ave. it's next to the insular life bldg. they actually havent opened yet, but for those looking for a good deal, join na.

if you're one of the first 500 to enroll, the membership fee of 10K is waived and you just have to pay one time 1200 for admininstration fees plus 1850 for the month. you dont need to pay for a quarterly or semi; you can just pay 1850 per month. this includes aeroclasses, spinning (cycle aerobics), pilates, yoga, sauna, gym, unlimited iced tea and water; and, you can borrow video tapes and vcds.

they hope to open oct 1; if they're not open by oct 8, those who signed up get the month for free.

check it out folks.

[artfuldodger]

Try Ryan J Fitness Center along Espana fronting UST

[As-66]

I powerlift, and if you do too, or if you don't mind chrome-less gyms and all that occurs to you is serious strength in large amounts, there is ZEST Power Gym in Ermin Garcia, near Cubao. To put it this way, I think 5 out of 7 philippine record holders are there. All the Top Guns - E. Torres, M. Debuque, Yolly Mendigoria, and Lily Pecante are there. If you wanna be strong, you can't afford to miss out on this place. Jesus Christ, 400 bucks a month. Don't whine to that. ;-)

Milestone fitness gym along banawe st. quezon city

[Pitchshifter]

Any other gyms in makati near Makati Stock Exchange (Ayala Triangle)?

yung nice gyms sana wid complete equipment
and knowledgeable trainers...

[popie]

hey, try fitness first! it's in the jg summit bldg. just a few bldgs away from the stock exchange. check the previous notes... i posted info about fitness first.

[RLboy]

:wave: Hi!

*pexadik* Do you guys know where I can find a gym that is cheap yet it has a nice place & good trainer in Manila???

[Sammer]

magkano ba budget nyo? in manila....

SUPER SHARP FITNESS CENTER---- newly opened gym dami equipment, super bait ang trainor, okay mga kasama sa gym, medyo corny nga lang name na super sharp :)

BODY BASIC--- maliit lang pero sosy ang dating :) medyo luma nga lang equipments pero ok na...

BURGUNDY--- i just heard of it but havent tried it yet....

[zerone]

Red Corner in Salcedo Village, near Makati Sports. I haven't seen it though, pero sabi nila ok daw 'to. They offer boxing classes pa nga daw.

[knoty-boy]

nakita ko na ang red corner, pero more on aero-boxing lang ang ino-offer nila... wala masyadong gym equipment doon... If I remebere it right, isa lang yata ang gym equipment nila...

medyo mahal pa ang offer nila since sa nasa Makati kasiang location eh...

Have you tried YMCA in Binondo? Ok ang gym nila, pero walang sauna... ang bayad mo is 2100 per quarter... de-aircon ang gym, pero sobrang crowded pag peak hours... dont expect a good trainer also... wala paki ang triner nila... first few session ka lang tuturuan then on you own ka na... so far, mababait naman ang mga nag-gi-gym doon... lalo na kung babae ka... hehehe :)

ayun lang po muna... ingat kayo

[CLY]

check this out!

SUPER SHARP FITNESS CENTER. newly opened. i heard that its 1200 a month. i'm not sure about membership fee. i think the equipment is ok. just along vito cruz st. in front of rizal memorial coliseum. i dont know if they have sauna there. i got a complimentary ticket there for a free workout. i'll use it soon.

[Brandon96]

RLBoy, if your budget is P500 a month or less, don't expect to find a nice gym. That kind of money will ALWAYS and ONLY get you a grimy gym with no aircon and perhaps poor ventilation and of course, rusted weights. Or, at the least, may ventilation but the place would surely smell. Earmark, I suggest, P800 to P1,000 a month or so.

I once went to this nice gym at Arquiza street in Ermita (near the Court of Appeals and UP Manila). It's at the Paragon Condominium or something. I forgot the name of the place. It's nice and doesn't look antiseptic like the usual whitewashed gym. It's airconditioned and has brick walls (aesthetically pleasing), and has a great floor (hindi vinyl tiles lang or semento). I do recall being wowed as the rates were reasonable considering the look and location of the gym. RLBoy, try mo yun! I walked in on the very first day--they had just cut the ribbon and taken down the flowers.

Anybody here who works out at Moro Lorenzo gym at the Ateneo de Manila campus? I want to move there and work out there because I want to work out with fellow college people--not with the semi-educated dudes at my current gym who probably don't have any ideas about bodybuilding other than what they read in the magazines. Can anyone sponsor me by way of referral to Moro Lorenzo, so that I won't have to pay "outsider's" fees?

Lahat naman ng gym at some point nagiging dull eh, unless kapareho mo ang mga tao doon mag-isip at pati interests nyo eh coinciding. In my case, the guys who work out at my gym now are the basketball-loving, brainless dudes who probably didn't go to a decent college or university--they're usually the typical Marikina "anak ng shoe factory owner" who is COD.COM--"care of dadd's business; care of mommy's", and have too much time on their hands. What makes me think more of shifting to Moro Lorenzo is the fact that they also have group classes, just like Gold's Gym in Makati--stretching (Pilates-esque), yoga, etc.

[tre38]

i go to moro but i don't go often enough to be able to talk them into allowing you to go without the outsiders fee. it's pretty cool there except it's a bit expensive:D

[tre38]

oh, btw, that was for brandon96:)

I also took advantage of this one time offer (no, I'm not being paid to do this. LOL), the place is REALLY nice. They give you free headphones too, so that you can jog/bike without getting bored. (I'm sucker for freebies and music) They also have this room called the "Express Room" if my memory serves me right. They built it so that if you're in a hurry you don't have to wait in line for a treadmill, or maybe for those circuit training workouts. There are also alot of free weights, which is always a good thing cause I personally don't like doing the bench press using a machine. Clean place too, well ventilated, and well-lit. I enrolled at the Eastwood City branch of Fitness First last Friday, I didn't even have to pay for the 10k membership. So all in all, I payed only 4,302PHP. So I'm good 'till July 1, 2002. Enroll guys, it's worth it.

[woofers]

With the money you guys spend on a couple of months of gym fees, you could set up a pretty decent home gym.

[Brandon96]

With the money you guys spend on a couple of months of gym fees, you could set up a pretty decent home gym.

yes, pero here are the cons or bad side of just sticking to a home gym:

1) you do not get to see the real world. Sort of like learning martial arts without sparring. you do not see how other people train and how to assess your workouts.

2) if you don't have space at home (if your house is not big at all and space is a premium), then a home gym IS NOT AN OPTION AT ALL.

3) home gym people statistically are the ones who are more likely to quit. Just imagine how many AbTronics, AbTrainer, Ab Rollers, and home gyms (SoloFlex, NordiFlex, etc.) lie or sit unused at so many homes all around the metropolis right now.

4) limited ang weights na pwedeng gamitin sa home set up unless YOU HAVE A REALLY WIDE FLOOR to accomodate all those racks and weights.

I joined Fitness First and train in Pekiti-Tirsia kali martial arts because I know that in this postindustrial culture of ours, quality cannot be had for peanuts unless you have an insider track on the source. Let's face it, we don't.:)

Here's a picture of an Arnis gym in Manila that teaches blade oriented arnis (Kali Ilustrisimo) under Master Tony Diego:

saan dun???

[Brandon96]

Tin28,

It's at the Techno Plaza One building at Libis Eastwood Cyberpark City compound. It's across the parking lots from Country Waffles and Blue Onion. It's at the very edge of the Marikina River opposite Santolan, Pasig.

OK dun--may sauna, steam rooms, may massage, may complimentary towels, free backpack, free water bottle, drink all you can iced tea, water, and free coffee and tea, free tai chi, yoga, pilates, and aerobics and cardiofunk/cardioboxing, etc. classes, wonderful Technogym equipment and free weights and machines, and world class dressing and shower rooms that even give free shampoo, conditioner, and liquid soap. Meron pang free earphones to watch the videos while doing cardio!

Ok di ba? Lifetime membership fee is P10,000 and monthly of P2,000 or so. My gf and I enjoy the facilities so much that we just had to bring her entire family.:D Ngayon, we all enjoy the great facilities for a fraction of the price and at a higher quality of service than Slimmers World's lifetime membership.

[blakedaddy]

Went to gold's this morning.... ganda ng equipment and the ambiance is not too classy and not too hardcore... just right

[Leif_Erikson]

Wow pareng Blake,

Sa Gold's Gym ka na rin ba? Ang maganda diyan hangganga 12 midnight open sila di ba? perfect sa mga overworked and workaholics.

[blakedaddy]

Leif,

yup you said it 6-12mn mon-sun operating hours. The equipment is great. sarap 3 lang kami there yesterday when I went

[Kaiser88]

blake, how much are the rates there? based on what you saw, would you say that it's not a gym only for pros?

[Brandon96]

Blake, guys,

Gold's Gym is the best option if you live in Makati and can afford the P20,000+ membership lifetime fee (yata; tama ba Blake?). If you live in or near Quezon City like me and Kaiser88 the best bet is the Moro Lorenzo Gym at the Ateneo de Manila campus or Fitness First Health Club at Libis Eastwood. Ang match talaga ng Gold's Gym sa northeastern Metro Manila is Fitness First--but the latter has the advantage in that it's more affordable and the place isn't as full. Yun nga lang, ang advantage ng Gold's Gym is the 12 midnight closing time daily (6 or 7 hours ba, Blake)? Yun nga lang, Kaiser88, if you come from QC and work in Ortigas, mas OK na ang Fitness First!

Join me and Aequitas and others who have found the Fitness First experience really worth it.

For those without budgets and yet want to really work out and get big and ripped, inexpensive gyms (P400 or P500 or so a month) are OK na. Wala nga lang aircon yan for sure, wala ring shower room, o kaya naman napaka-spartan ng conditions. But that's OK--if the gym produces champions, diyan ka na! But if the gym is not known for producing champions or for being the property of a former bodybuilder champion, iwas pusoy ka na lang or at least, DO YOUR OWN STUDYING kasi malamang old school pa ang workout programs na ginagawa diyan (whole body workouts at 3-4 hours a session, 3x/week).

Sabi nga ng born again preacher, "Dun ka kung SAAN KA MAGU-GROW." Literally!

Aequitas, have u checked out the Pekiti Tirsia sites? OK di ba? Train na tayo!

[tin28]

Thanks Brandon...


im a member kasi at SWI in Mega, kaso baka magwork ako sa Eastwood pag kagraduate ko,syempre i need a gym na mas malapit!!Golds is too far kasi, sana kung mabuksan agad yung center nila sa Ortigas

[Brandon96]

Kelan itatayo ang Gold's Gym sa Ortigas? At saan daw yung site?

This article might help you find a good one. Good luck! :)

Top 10 Things to Look for in a Gym (http://www.rxpinoy.com/yeheyphp/rxyehey.php?url=../ironpinoy/article04.html)

[Brandon96]

Fitness First and Gold's Gym would pass all the requisites with flying colors in that essay you posted, chinkybubbles. Sunod doon ang mga medyo older gyms like Clark Hatch, Slimmers World, and Club Optus (buhay pa ba ito?), and the like.:D

[chinkybubbles]

Brandon96, well they better do esp Gold's Gym. Ang mahal-mahal ng rates dyan e siguro naman maganda na nga don no? :D Re Fitness First, my sister and her officemates have checked it out and they were all praises. *okay*

[Brandon96]

e di join ur sister and her friends. BTW, would u like to train in Filipino martial arts (kali/escrima)? Please check out the websites below:

www.pekiti-tirsia.com www.pekiti-tirsia.net

Actually, mura ang Fitness First kasi right now, waived ang P10k na lifetime membership until May 30. All you have to do is pay P4.2k and the next bill is P1.8T after 2months. Compare that to Gold's which costs yata P40k lifetime and Slimmers World which costs P80k lifetime. Ngeee!

[chinkybubbles]

Brandon96, nah. We have Taebo sessions in our office building na mura talaga, I'm quite satisfied with those now. I don't think masusulit ko at the moment kung magbabayad pa ako sa gym. Re the Pinoy martial arts, no tnx. Natakot ako don sa nakita kong video clip sa Muay Thai thread: http://www.pekiti-tirsia.com/humor_page.htm :glee:

[blakedaddy]

it is definitely worth it and the equipment is top tof the line. If you go any time of the day, konti lang ang tao. It only gets packed around 5-8 but you would still be able to get a good workout since there is so much equipment. The rates vary with the plan you get. (parang plan sa cell phone) the higher your cash output, mas mababa ang monthly.

[XzRzX]

any1 have detailed rates sa fitness first ? interested ako kaya lang medyo hectic sched ko to go there and inquire ... thanks :D

[Brandon96]

I don't know about Makati, but at Fitness First Libis there's still an ongoing promo. Before May 31, if you sign up, waived na ang P10,000 lifetime membership fee. Just pay P4,300 registration fee and first month fee (kasama na dun). The following end of the month, you will just have to pay P1,700 and so on per month's end (covering the succeeding month). Hurry up Xyzrx!

Chinkybubbles, taebo is NOT martial arts. It's an aerobic workout. Tapos, according to some fitness experts and sports medicine experts, delikado pa ang Taebo kasi most (90%) of its teachers are NOT martial artists and hence don't really know how to kick or punch or strike....kopya lang sa mga teachers nila. And the clip you saw is a freak accident....besides in kali/eskrima/arnis we don't meet force head on; we evade and counter. We don't block and do that weird Muay Thai stuff although we also do body and muscle conditioning and bone tempering (kicking bags, shields, and pads, and also rubber tire work).

Here's a picture of kali/arnis in action in South Carolina. It's Pekiti Tirsia (so you'd know kali/arnis is not PALUAN with sticks):
http://www.pekiti-tirsia.com/mbt&m.jpg

[chinkybubbles]

Brandon96, I know it's not. I was thinking of getting some exercise and not really learning martial arts. :)

[hannah17smb]

naalala ko lang dati sa malapit sa FEU eh may mga nakita kaming mga macho gwapito na nagwoworkout sa gym dun...forgot the name eh... :( ...kakatuwa sila!!! di tuloy kami makasakay sakay dahil lumalagpas lagi ang transpo kasi nakatingin kami sa mga fafa!!! :glee:

:wave:

[Brandon96]

pareng Aequitas, have you viewed the Pekiti websites? Please txt me at 0917 817 0373 if you'd like to train. Kahit hindi, just text me, kung what time ka nagtetrain sa Fitness 1st Libis. Or sa Makati ka na ba?:)

[Brandon96]

Konti na lang sa P1450, gawin mo nang P1,700 eh di Fitness First na! May hot and cold showers na, with free shampoo, conditioner and liquid soap pa....as well as big lockers and benches in the dressing rooms, centralized airconditioning, unlimited iced tea, coffee, water and (unfortunately) softdrinks, tapos hindi pa puno basta before 6pm!

It doesn't really matter where you work out, as long as you get to work out intensely and consistently. There is no right or wrong gym, only gyms that are more or less convenient for your own purposes. Amen? Amen!:D

Sa Moro Lorenzo po. pero yung 950 student's fee lang yon :)

[Brandon96]

hehehe, Fitness First for an additional P300 pare is OK na ano? You get free shampoo, soap, and conditioner and strong water supply plus centralized airconditioning at all places--dressing and shower rooms, gym floor, etc.....:)

Oh, and don't forget the actors/actresses for those fan girls and guys among us:

1) Leandro Munoz
2) Jimmy Santos
3) Ruby Rodriguez (see how thin she is now)
4) Bobby Andrews
5) Joyce Jimenez

Sa #5 pa lang, eh sulit na ang bayad ng GF ko hehehe! Joke lang baby, i love you!;)

[sixmiles]

Every penny counts! :p Malaki naman kasing difference sa'ming mga studyante pa lang ang 800 bucks

[Brandon96]

Yeah, sixmiles, I know P800 extra is a lot of money for you, but it's also a lot of money for us working people. The good thing about having a steady job is that it allows us replenishment and the independence to use our cash the way we see fit.

BTW, do you like martial arts? Mas mabuti pa nga siguro if you use your extra P800 in training in stuff like kali/escrima....how about joining my basics training group in UP? I'm looking at moving the location to Ateneo but I'll need their permission first. Are you Atenean? Please check out these websites:

www.pekiti-tirsia.com and www.pekiti-tirsia.net
www.rochesterkali.com and www.cecm.sfu.ca/~loki/Kali
www.dogbrothers.com and www.ptk-pitbulls.com

[Aequitas]

OT: Brandon! What's up? I'm really interested in the Pekiti Tirsia, it's just that I'm a bit tight now. Sayang. Wait, Joyce Jimenez goes to Fitness First? w00t!

Back to the topic:
Have you guys tried it at Bramante? Anyway, it's pretty nice there. Fitness First is like 3 times better, plus they got all those cool classes. (Pilates, Cardiofunk, Aerobiking, etc.) Choosing the best gym for you is mostly personal preference, they're basically all the same. Some are just a bit better than others, but hey, whatever gets you fit right?

[iskaliber]

could you guys recommend a gym around the manila area?
gusto ko kasi malapit lang sa school ko para i can work out after class...
btw, i'm from up manila (padre faura, ermita)

Costs around 1000+ but i think they give student rates which is around 600+

[Brandon96]

Just search "Fitness First" and "Philippines" or just the former in your typical search engines like Google and Yehey.

bTW, would you like to train in traditional combative Filipino martial arts (kali, escrima), JCBOY? Please get in touch with me at 0917 817 0373.

BTW, are you JC Sola? Just asking....from La Salle?:D

hi Brandon96 :wave:

todo advertise ka for Fitness First ha? stock holder ka? uy joke lang. hehehehe. :D

i go to their makati branch on weekdays and sa libis on weekends. the makati gym is bigger (2 floors) and they offer more classes. but it's also more crowded specially during week days (peak hours are from 6-9 AM and about 530 PM until closing i think).

anyway, last i asked, they still have a promo but the membership fee's 85% off na lang. that's one time payment as well as 1 thou for admin fees. you can opt for the home membership...this means you can only use the gym you enrolled at. passport membership means you can use all their gyms....even those abroad (or so they claim). passport's around 2 T a month and home's about 1800 a month.

have you tried cardioboxing or taebo? saya no? kaso ang daming tao...and na-realize ko lang sobrang lampa ko sumuntok. hahaha. :lol:

have a nice day (kahit maulan). ingat kayo! :wave:

[Brandon96]

have you tried cardioboxing or taebo? saya no? kaso ang daming tao...and na-realize ko lang sobrang lampa ko sumuntok. hahaha.

Hehehe, Natalie_Sod, wanna learn a better way to self defense? I invite you to train in traditional yet combative Filipino martial arts (arnis, kali, escrima) with me, particularly Pekiti-Tirsia kali. I suggest you search it sa Internet and read up on it sa maraming websites dedicated to it.

Girl ka ba? Alin ka dun sa madaming magagandang chicks sa gym sa Libis?:D My GF and I work out 3-4 days a week; I don't go for the classes kasi I already have my own Pekiti Tirsia to serve as my own cardio and stuff. Gym lang talaga habol ko pati sauna and steambath. Kung unattached ka, intro kita sa best friend kong chinito na 27 years old na eh NO GF SINCE BIRTH pa rin.

85% off sa lifetime fee? OK yun ah. Napaka-affordable na noon, considering the facilities and the LIFETIME privilege. Whether you live or work in or near Makati, Alabang or Libis/Ortigas, may Fitness First gym near you!;)

Hehehe Natalie_Sod, gwapo yang si Brandon96 mala Kier Legaspi daw ang itsura nyan (yech!).:D Too bad may GF na siya na sobrang loving and lovable.

Kahit saang gym naman lalo na sa mga medyo mas sosyal at mas uppity na gyms and health clubs, maraming bading eh. Makikita mo sila, usually ang giveaway diyan, sila yung di nahihiyang mag hubad ng twalya sa dressing room/shower room kahit makita mo na ang pubic hair nila. Tila bang nag-aaya....yech!:mad:

Saan ba office mo mareng Natalie_Sod at tila parehong Fitness First eh tinutuhog mo?:)

[ibarramedia]

I wonder if this is the same fitness first owned and operated by peter harvey. He started a chain of gyms in silver spring. olney,germantown, gaithersburg. In Maryland. there could be more. The name was originally fitness world but was changed due to legal issues. If this is then he has gone global.

bakit ikaw saan ka ba work and work out?

[Brandon96]

Ibarramedia,

No dude, Fitness First PLC is actually a British gym corporation with branches all throughout former British Commonwealth countries and East Asia. It has no branches in the USA, although it has some in Canada. In East Asia, it is franchised thru this Hong Kong gym equipment company Sportathlon, Inc., which also operates both the Makati and Libis gyms.

Natalie_Sod,

Taga San Mateo ka ba or Antipolo?:)

Must be a coincidence then because the gym I used to lift weights in was called fitness first. here is the website. www.fitnessfirst.cc

[natalie_sod]

Hehe, and if you refer someone you get a free cellcard, right? ;-)

My GF just signed us up last weekend. They certainly have nice facilities for the price. It was a bit crowded when we were there though (Monday the 15th). They told us they're building an extension next to the Metrobank branch so hopefully crowding won't be a problem.

[Brandon96]

Wow pareng Woofers, sige train tayo together. I can help you work out. I will share with you a training routine where you only work out for 45 minutes to 1 hour, 2-3x a week only. Pero mas mabilis ang gains? Interested, pare? Give me a call sa cell; you know my number.

[blakedaddy]

Brandon,

I'm coming back from a looong layoff, but I've already been training HIT/Superslow for a while now. This is after overtaining and injuring myself with the traditional split-type routines + running. I guess the traditional routines work for some people, but not for me.

I have my own weights set at home and used to do pure negatives 1x a week or less with great gains until my brothers absolutely refused to lift the weights for me.

The FF thing is for quality time (plus motivation and with my GF who's working out for the first time.

[Brandon96]

Woofers, please clarify. What do you mean by great gains doing negatives 1x a week?

You mean to say you used to be very huge or massive? Or your current physique was a great improvement? Were you formerly a typical payatin guy?

And how long have you been doing HIT? Can you tell us about your experience with training with greater intensity thru slower rep speeds?

[iroqui]

Have worked out in a lot of gyms(here and in the usa). My favorites are Spectrum Club in Manhattan Beach, Worlds Gym(NYC..though they have closed this year, Reeboks Sports Clubs (very expensive with four floors of weight training, aerobics, wall climbing, swimming pool and a running track on the roof) and the affordable New York and Washington Sports Clubs)

Here in Manila, work out in a Condominium fitted with the latest Cybex and Startac equipment. Its not very spacious but the equipment is state of the art. Work out in Polo Club but not often as the equipment is the prehistoric.

For Public Gyms, have tried Clark Hatch in Intercon(Very small, ok equipment, pleasant gym trainers), Slimmers World in Pasay Rd(two floors, not bad.) Bramante Gym at Renaissance in Pasig(small gym) and recently RCBC Gym and Fitness First on Ayala.

RCBC Gym would be ok though its too far to walk from the office(its at the end of Ayala) Fitness First is great with the exception of its equipment(Technogym is lousy!) very spacious, has a spinning room with about 15 bikes, a large aerobics room and separate free weights and machine area. The locker rooms are clean and modern looking. They even have an area where they offer free ice tea and dispenser sodas.

What to look for in a gym? Spaciousness if possible especially during rush hours. Free weights and machine area. Locker rooms where you can keep your valuables and shower after. And of course..affordability and accessibility. If you cant work out all the time coz the gyms out of the way. Well, its time to switch to a closer gym.

[woofers]

Originally posted by Brandon96

I mean that comparing my physique and strength during my 5x a week routine vs. 1x a week routine using only negatives (spotter lifts the weight, hands off to me, I lower it), my lean bodymass and max poundages were greater during the 1x a week. Bodyfat, I think, depends more on diet.


You mean to say you used to be very huge or massive? Or your current physique was a great improvement? Were you formerly a typical payatin guy?


No, I was never huge or massive. Not with my lousy genes, poor diet and hectic study/work schedule. Last time we met, I was at 125 lbs. Remember Oliver? I used to be as thin as him. I think he's around 110 lbs or less and an inch taller than me.

I recall I peaked at 138 lbs and relatively lean (medyo kita abs) or so, doing the 1x a week routine, vs 125 lbs (medyo kita abs din) doing 5x a week.


And how long have you been doing HIT? Can you tell us about your experience with training with greater intensity thru slower rep speeds?


I did the traditional split routine through college (4 years). I guess you could say I was doing HIT for 3 years or so, but my workouts during that time were sporadic.

I like superslow because the lower weights required to maintain a slower rep speed (10 sec up, 5 sec down) are safer and my spotters don't complain (as much). The only thing I don't like is that, all other things being equal, the workouts take 50% longer.

[blakedaddy]

woofers,

why not post your routine in the bodybuilding thread???

[i_rjerds]

about Fitness First,

someone was kinda doubtful a couple of threads back about the passport membership that fitness first offers. my home club is fitness first in eastwood, but i left the philippines to travel. i was able to use my fitness first ID without any questions asked at fitness first in Paris, France and at fitness first in amsterdam, the netherlands. they're both very nice, except that the one in amsterdam uses life fitness equipment instead of technogym which we use in manila. but still nice. fitness first is one club u can trust. they have locations all over europe!

about Gold's Gym,

it's pretty nice, i'm also a member, actually big, but it took waaaaay too long to finish. i wasn't able to use my gold's gym receipt abroad. i'm now in the US, i tried to use the receipt gold's gave me when i paid to try their gym in san francisco and they were asking me for some travel pass which gold's didn't give me or even tell me about. they were asking me to pay $75 for a month!!! that's pretty crappy huh?

i actually miss fitness first eastwood na n all my friends there.

[Brandon96]

pare, pagbalik mo from the USA, let's train in traditional combative Filipino martial arts (Pekiti-Tirsia kali).

Wanna find out more (http://www.pekiti-tirsia.net) about it? (http://www.TexasKali.org) Go ahead (http://www.pekiti-tirsia.com) and check out (http://www.rochesterkali.com) these websites! (http://www.cecm.sfu.ca/~loki/Kali) :cool:

[i_rjerds]

brandon96, wer u referin to me when u offered that training thing for eskrima? where do you train for this stuff? i'm kinda interested coz i used to be interested in martial arts when i was a kid.

[Brandon96]

i-rjerds, yes, pare, i was talking to you. globetrotter ka pala. just wanted to ask you if you'd like to train in kali. please give me a call or text msg at 0917 817 0373 (let me know it's u by indicating your PEx handle or nick, OK?).

I'm forming a small basics training group in QC under the permission of my teachers, who also do Sari-an and Gracie jujitsu on the side as well as Kali Ilustrisimo, Lameco eskrima and De Campo 1-2-3 Orehinal escrima. If you join up with me, you'll have insider access to these arts without having to follow up different teachers or sources.

Sa umaga ka ba nagwoworkout at Libis? Maybe I've seen you already.

[i_rjerds]

dehins chong, i used to work out during afternoons, between 3-6 usually. pero pag weekends un, umaga ako pag sat. pero bihira lang yun. cge, i'll just check this out when i get back, pero tagal pa yun, bka october pa. hopefully by then u already have ur school in operation n stuff. sige, i'm interested in the kali part.

[Brandon96]

no problem pare. just call me sa cellphone ko. btw, to repeat, i'm not a teacher, master, or a guro. i was just allowed to form a training group in the basics that i can share my techniques with so that we can practice together and help each other grow.

btw, people in the South Triangle part of Quezon City can go and work out at the Pinnacle Health Fitness Center near Timog. I dont recall the name of the street; just search it on the Net with the words "Pinnacle Health". It's managed by champion bodybuilder Sonny Orallo.

[blakedaddy]

pinnacle health pointe is located on scout torillo st. It has a lot of free weights and the necessary machines.

[i_rjerds]

brandon96, just curious...r u part of the group that does submission sport sa white plains?

pinnacle healthpointe uses a combination of cybex and bodymasters as their machines. it's a good gym with a very nice health/juice bar and very friendly staff. went there for 2 years.

[Brandon96]

No pareng i-rjerds, ibang grupo iyon. My teachers are affiliated with Alvin Aguilar and Defense Tactics Center/Sari-an as well as with Grand Tuhon Leo Gaje of Pekiti-Tirsia kali.

Pare, mayaman ka ano? Palipat lipat ka ng mga magagandang mga gym, para ka lang nagpapalit ng restaurant.

[i_rjerds]

hinde pare. i just had to try all the good gyms kasi i'm really into fitness training n stuff. so first i was from pinnacle, tapos i went to the spa at rcbc plaza, tapos clark hatch, tapos fitness first na chaka gold's. pero yung martial arts ko, bata pa ko nun. nag-taekwondo ako. then i went to korea to train for a month everyday kasi nag-pa-apprentice ako sa master dati. pero tagal na yun, early high school days ko pa yun.

dibale, i'll try to see your group pag balik ko. kaso diba yung group nila alvin aguilar alabang yun diba? malayo nga lang, dun lang ako bandang white plains e.

[Brandon96]

Pare, ako rin lately lang ako naging serious sa fitness training and martial arts. Medyo late bloomer kasi ako pare eh. I now have realized my real hobbies--stuff I'd like to do until age 90 or until I die (naks!).

Actually I only have 2 to 3 guys practicing kali with me in UP. It's not even a real "group" just some training partners whom I teach basics and with whom I practice stuff. My teachers are senior instructors in Sari-an and taught Alvin Pekiti-Tirsia in exchange for Gracie Jujitsu. So when Royce Gracie came last September they got their blue belts from him and their certificates as well.

Ako rin noon I would make dayo pa a gym in QC (Powerflex) from UP Diliman after classes before law school, since I was fed up with the cheap smelly basement Pro-Gym branch inside UP Campus. Bakit nga ba ganon lahat ng Pro-Gym branches--mabaho na, madumi pa? Hindi kaaya-aya. Tapos obvious pang hindi certified and up to date ang kaalaman ng mga instructors. They would make us do whole body workouts with 3 or 4 sets lasting 3-4 hours a session, 3x/week. Tapos, nagyoyosi pa sila at umiinom. What kinda instructors were they?:mad:

[whattaguy]

Guys sino sa inyo ang merong alam na gym in Binondo area?

Btw, alam niyo ba kung anong nangyari sa Olympians Gym sa Binondo?

[Brandon96]

Isn't there a national governing body or association for fitness or gym trainors/instructors? Ang dami kasing gym dito sa Pinas na malaki lang ng konti ang katawan, pwede nang maging instructor or coach. Eh ang mga routines na ginagawa nila kopyado lang sa MUSCLE & FITNESS magazine or IRONMAN magazine.

One rule of thumb siguro is to check out their calves: if they have little or no calf development, the guy is probably just another of those magazine weight routine lifters/copiers.

Sa Gold's Gym ba certified lahat ng ACE and ACSM ang mga instructors?

BTW, do not go to a PT graduate (physical therapist) if you want a weight workout. Iba ang orientation nila eh. It's like asking a swordsman to teach you practical shooting.

[blakedaddy]

we have the AFPP (association of fitness professionals os the phils)

gold's trainers are ACE certified and some are already reviewing for the exam in november

:wazzup: people?!

:fork_off:

do any of u guys know the contact #s of groups that do tai chi? where they usu. do their exercise (tama ba?) ?
another thing,
these groups are most of the times formed by pure chinese, right? will they accept filipinos who wish to learn tai chi? will there be an issue of racial discrimination?
just asking...
thanks..

XS..
basta the location/vicinity is in QC or Manila lang...
sie sie

[Brandon96]

Ceruleanfungus, if you want to DANCE, then go and join your local Taebo class instead. You will learn as much martial art skill as you will in any Tai Chi class here in Manila. Sa UP Diliman there are a lot of Tai Chi groups that practice on Sunday mornings at the Lagoon area. Makisali ka na lang doon.

But if I were you, be PATRIOTIC and COMBAT EFFECTIVE and PRACTICAL all at the same time. Learn Pekiti-Tirsia kali or Kali Ilustrisimo or Lameco eskrima and add some Yaw-Yan into the mix or perhaps Sari-an.

Hi, does anyone know of a good gym that opens around 6.30 or 7 a.m. in Ortigas. I live in Paranaque, but my office is in Emerald Ave. Ortigas. Kakalipat ko lang, so di ko talaga alam yung area.

Fitness First sounds nice. Mukang tempted akong mag-enrol. How far is Libis from Ortigas Center? Siyempre 9 am yung pasok ko and I have to be there by that time.....:juggler:

[moonshine]

fitness first libis is open by 6 am. your problem would be the traffic from fitness first going back to emerald... you would have to leave the gym by 8am at the latest to get to your office by 9.

maraming gyms sa ortigas area.
bramante meron.
sa robinsons ---they have their own gym dun sa galleria suites...4th floor ata.
there's always slimmers world in megamall---open sila 7am you just have to enter by the side entrance. (ask them kung saan)
there's discovery spa---inside discovery suites. pero medyo mahal dun.

if you are just going for the machines and the weights, check out slimmers world just because of the affordable rates and the convenience of their location.
if you want good equipment, or aero class at that time (630): fitness first ka nalang. they have days na 630am ang first aero class. well maintained lahat ng gamit.

-- you can try checking out discovery spa in discovery suites.

another option is to work out after office hours.

how much is your budget for gym??

[mrcmrtnz]

elo. may alam ba ** kung san yung pinaka malapit at maganda na gym ** sa MAYON,QC?????????thnx

[Brandon96]

mrcmrtnz, you can check out EXCEL Fitness Center's main branch which is in Santa Mesa Heights. I'm not sure if it's along D. Tuazon or thereabouts, but it's definitely in YOUR area.

[xtx]

does anyone of you know any gym somewhere in Las Pinas, Paranaque or in Alabang wherein they provide taekwondo, aikido, jujitsu... etc. lessons? or other martial arts?

[Brandon96]

does anyone of you know any gym somewhere in Las Pinas, Paranaque or in Alabang wherein they provide taekwondo, aikido, jujitsu... etc. lessons? or other martial arts?

Welcome to this thread, xtx!

I'm impressed. It's rare for women and girls to be so much into the martial arts. I can gather this much about you since I've seen your other posts on other threads here in HOBBIES AND RECREATION.

To be honest with you, why be so focused on training in north east asian martial arts like taekwondo, aikido and jujitsu when you can train in reality-oriented martial arts, YOUR VERY OWN kali/arnis/escrima, the Filipino martial arts ?

By now, I guess you have read the other threads on kali/arnis/escrima and are aware of the fact that arnis/kali is not just stickfighting. It actually is based on the SWORD or BLADE and has the world's most practical, effective and lethal knife fighting techniques. It also has EMPTY HANDED striking, armlocking, wristlocking, low kicking, and grappling techniques. So much so, that even the US Navy SEALs, Army Special Forces, and US Marine Corps are training in a very combative style of kali (arnis) called Pekiti-Tirsia kali during BALIKATAN and CARAT exercises.

I invite you to check out the following URL's for your info:

www.pekiti-tirsia.com and www.pekiti-tirsia.net
www.cecm.sfu.ca/~loki/Kali and www.rochesterkali.com
www.kalideleon.com and www.TexasKali.org
www.texasmartialarts.com and www.dogbrothers.com

You can go to the Defense Tactics Center at Karachi Street, BF Homes, Paranaque and train with Alvin Aguilar, who teaches Pekiti-Tirsia kali (arnis) as well as Gracie Jujitsu. I don't think he'll offer the Pekiti Tirsia there, though.

You can train with us ONCE A WEEK ONLY on Sundays, 1-5:30pm at the Quezon City area. It's just once a week lang naman eh; a short 40 minute drive via C-5 road from P'que to the Diliman area.

Please text me your PEx nick/handle, your FULL NAME, and LANDLINE CONTACT # if you're interested in standing out and learning Filipino martial arts that are definitely more practical and effective than the northeast asian arts you mentioned. I mean, hey, during WW2, the Japanese army officers who wielded katanas and were trained in jujitsu, aikido and some karate were ALMOST ALWAYS trounced by our old men arnis masters who were part of the then numerous BOLO BATTALIONS of the Visayas!

Talk about GO GO FILIPINO!:cool:

[xtx]

Brandon96,

Thank you for your suggestions. I'll check out the Defense Tactics Center that you stated because it's near my school. About training with you once a week... I'm quite occupied lately. But if ever I will find time, or if I will be permitted, why not?

Anyway, I've always been very interested in arnis. But for now, due to schedule conflicts (again!), I think I'll just settle for taekwondo, judo,aikido, and the likes. I'll just inform you if I will enroll, ok?

[XiamenBoy]

Anybody who's been to Muscle Image Gym in Recto?

[Brandon96]

Any Fitness First Libis, Alabang, or Makati members here? Please sound off! Let's all get together and exchange training tidbits and other stuff.:D

[Brandon96]

O, musta ka na, Aequitas? Akala ko ba eh we will get together to practice Filipino combative knife fighting and empty handed techniques (arnis/kali/escrima) in the style called Pekiti-Tirsia kali? Sige ka pare....by February we might go to the Balikatan exercises and wow (as usual) those US Marines and Special Forces who saw traditional Visayan grappling (dumog) and empty handed striking and boxing (wristlocking, armlocking, trapping, hitting, and lowline kicking) techniques called Pangamut/mano-mano.

Ano pare?:D

:life: :life: :life:

[blakedaddy]

in the makati area, Gold's gym is definitely a good bet. The spa and fitness first aren't bad choices either

[RLboy]

Guys! Query, are there any gym with swimming pool here in Manila that offers an affordable monthly fee?

there's a gym near JP Rizal, which is also a block away from Munisipyo ng Makati. it is a pink condominum, the gym is located at 7th floor. Fully equipped with Free Weights and with some Machines.

Near Guadalupe, near Jolibee... i think in front of FX terminal, there is this small gym... it can easily be noticed.. i think the price is Php500.00 per month.

I've been in this gym...hehe. since I love gym hopping.

Pump it up.

Can someone recommend a decent gym around these areas:

south pasig
taguig
ayala center makati
pasay (near edsa-taft)
mall of asia

(I pass by these places going to work)

My budget is not more than P1,500. I am hypertensive so I only need to go to the gym to use a treadmill, at least for the first 6 months (doctor's recommendation). I have not found a safe area near my place to jog, so jogging is not among my options. I also need a gym where I can freshen up after exercise before going to work.

Thanks.

Hello. May mga konting tanong lang ako. Ano yung Big Three na sinasabi?

Tapos kanina I had this trial for Fitness First sa ELJ Bldg sa ABS-CBN. Mukhang ok naman siya but nakalimutan ko na yung breakdown ng fees.

Any gyms that would fit my, let's say P1000-1500 budget per month?

Currently, I'm based sa EDSA Shaw and malapit naman sa ABS area ang residence ko for now. Any ideas guys?

Thanks in advance.

[vinoi]

big3==Gold's, FF, Slimmers

Thanks. Pwede bang bigyan niyo ko ng brief descriptions nung Gold's Gym at Slimmer's?

And palagay na din po ng membership fees. Pati yung sa Fitness First. Hehe.

Kahapon nasa FF ABS ka? baka nagkita tayo kung ganon hehehe.. You should have asked if may gusto magpatransfer na member on FF ABSCBN na like 2k below ang rate. Minsan kasi sinasabihan ako sa reception if may kilala ako. Pero not sure if meron pang ganun now kasi way back weeks na yung latest info ko.

About sa budget, Merong Pinnacle sa Scout Torillo St., near Jade Valley (It's like downgraded FF @900 a month ata). But I'm not yet sure of their current rates, better try to check it out.

Meron din City Lifestyle sa Timog Rotonda, pero the rates are like FF pero hindi naman masyado sulit I think. Meron den Kanto Gym sa Delta (also along Timog).

Like mentioned above, also try visiting Eclipse Gym, and decide kung saan mo gusto maggym. *okay*
