Day 257

Yeay... today I finally went to the True Fitness Pavilion branch, thus having tried out all the True Fitness gyms that there are in Malaysia. :D I'm a real nut when it comes to trying out gyms... that's how I ended up purchasing a one month membership with California Fitness. Do NOT ask me about it... I think it was standing in the hot sun while the consultant was talking to me... anyway, it's only RM29.90 (and I even demanded for the 10 sen back from the consultant.. kekeke) and you get :
a. a CF towel set
b. one month membership
c. one free PT session
d. two free sessions of mYoga

I'm only interested in items a - c of course.. yoga one.... whatever la. :P

Anyway, I am soooo glad that I live where I live because I truly think that the Taipan & Jaya 33 branches are the NICEST ones under the TF umbrella. Sri Hartamas is erm... only good (to me) for the pantry & the towel service. Even home members in SH agree that the studios there are crappy compared to the ones in J33 or Taipan. Pavilion studios are not bad, and the equipment is definitely all brand new and they have some weird ones which they don't have in Taipan or J33... but I don't really fancy it because of the way the equipment is spaced. Seems put very close together and when I'm exercising, I'm sure the SWEAT from the person next to me will end up landing on me. Kekeke.

Group X classes in Pavilion also less than in the other branches. Most branches start their first class of the day (on weekends) earlier than 10am (correct me if I'm wrong), but the first class today was at 11:45am. Granted... shopping mall opens late, so the opening hours for Pavilion can't be the same as the others (which open at 6am). But I think the first class of the day can be at 10:45am what... which was the time I came to the gym...

Of course, the main attraction of working in TF, Pavilion is... Pavilion. Hahahhaa! Slurrps... damn a lot of good food and damn a lot of good shopping. Seriously, if I work out here, even on a weekly basis, I will go POKAI because there are just so many nice stuff that I want to buy. Gosh, made a mistake of going into Tangs and then just salivating over all the pretty, overpriced stuff...

But back to today's workout.
We went for
a. Hip Hop (Ernest) - and I quite like the class except for the "face-off" bits because we have to face each other and the other side is doing the opposite actions of us. This will cause confusion le. But luckily Ernest would stand on the same side as Pauline & I (aka first-timers) so we could follow him directly. :P The moves are a bit ... complicated for me (still prefer Dance Mania), but it looks cool la! At first I thought Ernest was very unhappy with the way I was dancing cos he looks soooo angry but later he said that we did a good job for our first time. :D You think so? You really think so??? Cos I think so too... hwahwhaahahaha!! *tak malu* And then Pauline said that Ernest wasn't looking angry, but it's just how he normally looks.. hahaha... *eeps* Sorry ya! :D

If you like Korean music, you should join his class... he mostly likes to dance to those kinda songs... e.g: Lee Hyori's "That Girl"...

b. Body Combat (Kevin L) - or so they labelled. Ended up the original instructor was sick, so it was replaced by this guy who I only know as a BC trainee in Taipan. Well, obviously he has 'graduated' to a point where he has his own classes and is a full-fledged instructor, good for him. Personally, didn't really enjoy his class, but not to say that he's not good! It's just a personal feeling because of the way he 'corrects' our moves.

First of all, why can't you be nice like ____ and _____ or ______ or ______ (dowan to write names lah), they always correct people in a nice way which makes you feel like they are trying to IMPROVE us. The way he corrects people is like trying to hina us. He will go, "what is this??" (and make a weak action). Very menyakitkan hati lor! Actually, he didn't aim this at me, I just feel it. Hahaha. Okay, he did it ONCE. He said I was not punching hard enough, and it was the Johnny B. Goode track, which to me is a FUN track, so I won't go all out for it. And if you want to 'motivate' me to punch harder, all you have to do is stand in front of me and make urself a TARGET so that I can punch you. Then you tell me whether it's hard enough or not!

Secondly, he so-called called this other guy in the class an "expert" but when I compare myself to him... pls lah, if that guy is an expert then you must sanjung me up to heaven already. *rolls eyes* And he was saying like, if we cannot keep up, then we can copy this so-called "expert". If I copied him, then I wouldn't be the extraordinarily great participant that I am... wakakkakaka!! I will have to lower my standard by sooooo much. Hahahahahahhahaa...

Anyway, I'm very very erm... careful about who I would label as an "expert" or what not because to me ... just because someone keeps going for your class does NOT make him an expert. He is just .. at the most.. a REGULAR. And even REGULARS are not GREAT at the class or whatever. For example, all the pple who piss me off when they cannot tell what is mirror image... for some cases, they are regulars too! So it shows, if you don't know mirror image, if you move to your own beat... just cos you are the regular, why should other people follow you ler? That guy doesn't even turn his foot when he makes a hook or upper cut. At most... he's got a good body, that's all...

That is all I have to say.. otherwise, it was an enjoyable enough class today, mainly because it's still the new release. *blek* :Pc
