gentlerock SG Hey Care Bear, I forgot to tell you that the other day, I saw True Yoga featured on TV. I forgot which programme it was, but I think it was some Chinese weekly show type of thing..... Wah, there is a lobby/living room with very nice furniture leh. And many instructors, all from India, I think. And they also have a class called yoga combat, which is something like boxing aerobics. And the classes are very big too....quite a bunch at a time, all ladies. Have you joined already?
SGnewbie SG actually, ppl pay for that amount of money u think go train? is to see chio bus mah.. u think ppl so stupid pay so much when they can pay peanuts for a local gym?
kops21 SG If it is left for a short period of time(less than 30sec), it is okay. If you left it there and go for different sets of weight training then it is very inconsiderate. I will take down the towel and put it aside. After finish my set of training, i will put the towel back.
chunyong SG no loh, some people go there is for networking and some is becos they work there and gyms are not near their house
care bear SG hey hey gentelrock..true yoga very nice right?!!! yup instructors are from India so you're getting the authentic instruction....n yup yoga combat is cool, one of my faves actually. I havent signed up yet, thot of waiting till Feb to start properly... you interested? you'll be a happy man cos you'll be surrounded by chio bus all around...and partner yoga...is just...amazing..
gentlerock SG Maybe some of these guys were selling roti pratas in India before they heard someone saying "hey, you could make more money in Singapore pretending to teach Yoga!"....? n yup yoga combat is cool, one of my faves actually. I havent signed up yet, thot of waiting till Feb to start properly... you interested? you'll be a happy man cos you'll be surrounded by chio bus all around...and partner yoga...is just...amazing.. Ya, actually I'm interested, but the problem is that I have access to 6 gyms now and its weighing a bit heavily on me, financially. When some of these expire in the future, I don't intend to renew them anymore, which will hopefully free up some disposable cash for yoga. Oh yes, I still gotta see if I can touch my toes first too.
gentlerock SG Wait wait.....did you say "partner yoga"??? Ooooh..... I must find a way to accelerate the expiry of some of my existing gym memberships....heeee......
gentlerock SG Just tried! I was sitting down for about 2 hours now and in order to touch my toes, I have to bend my knees a little. However, I'm sure that if I've been moving around and warmed-up, I can touch them without bending my knees. So...qualified? What is partner yoga?
care bear SG Qualified!! work on it and you'll get there... Partner yoga...hmmm...how to describe leh...two people doing yogic poses together....supporting each other in various poses...in the partner yoga practice, you will at times act as an assistant to your partner, support your partners yoga postures and or vice versa, and at times create new yoga postures with equal input from both of you. Both partners will support and be supported in the practice. Skills of observation and of verbal and non-verbal communication are really deeply enhanced, and the qualities of trust and vulnerability as well. All will lead to a deepening of communication,understanding n intimacy. some pictures of my indian instructor doing partner yoga with us....can see..I think the pics are quite small....
gentlerock SG Sorry for hijacking the thread guys.....I've started another thread called YOGA (its also a kind of gym workout which is getting popular nowadays) to accoomodate to all of Care Bear's nonsense. hahahaha....OK, OK, my nonsense too. Yoga looks good huh, guys???
A Beautiful Mind SG Hey men thanx for all the info... the reason i wanted to try Cf cause i find the hougang gym tooo crowded. That plc is madness ok... almost all evenings are packed to the rim. & i hate the "gym walkers" staff there... gt this idiotic uncle always walking ard, say i can't drink water here, can't leave my weights there. i tried clementi gym one evening, the crowd there is comfortable, only its damm far frm my plc. When i am rich next time, i will bulid a personal gym, get a personnal trainer plus free admission only to chio bus... & also ppl here la ok
gentlerock SG I see...I also hate those fussy gym staff. But I heard that CF is as crowded too, with people lining up for machines during peak hours, etc. There are many other gyms, you know? Not just CF or PF. Should be some nearer to your place. You don't really need a very big gym to build. Just some basic machines and some free weights will do. Some gyms are built big just because they want to portray some kind of image or brand name.
