Coming from California, its probably a scam. Don't trust it.
Definitely some trick lah...maybe they ask you to pay for 1.5 years
and give you membership for 2 years, etc. I don't believe they'll
just let unlimited number of public go in for 6 months free of
charge.
I've heard so many complaints about the place - too crowded and
can't get machines, staff are very pushy and always try to sell you
something, etc etc. Check with the person with the nickname "Care
Bear". She had a slight experience with California recently. PM her
or something.
By the way, personal training at gyms like California is S$70 per
hour (in addition to your membership and other fees)....and you
have to sign up for many sessions at the same time. Aiyah, if you
wanna spend that kind of money, then Chunyong and I can teach you
for S$50 per hour. Then you can have two trainers somemore. haha.
We not qualified so we charge a bit less than ourside. Chunyong:
we'll split $35/$15 (I take the bigger share).
Hey, I started doing weights about 20 years ago. Never had any
personal trainers or anything (there weren't even proper big gyms
at that time - and there were probably less than 10 personal
trainers in this country during that time too). During those times,
we just trained with friends, watched others and learn, read about
it in mags, etc. Nowadays, you have the internet which is much
easier. And in the end our bodies all turned out OK what - far from
perfect lah, but still a bit better than average.
Try surfing the net for research...its quite a good source of
information!
