Free-trial at Fit Factor Gym @ Taman Perindustrian Bukit OUG

Its a brand new year 2016.
Similar to previous years, my new year resolutions haven't changed much, it is still to get into a better shape and have a healthier lifestyle. Hope that I could consistently work out more often this year !

Me and my friends have decided to go for a free-trial session at Fit Factor Gym this morning. We went to eat some foods in mcd as a pre-workout meal before heading off to the gym to burn some fats. haha probably a good idea to make us more motivated in the gym considering the fats we have eaten.



Time for some serious workout! 

Before making the fats crying for help, you can keep your valuable belongings (wallet, mobile phone) in the lockers provided. *Our bags are too big to fit into the lockers. =="
Locker and dressing room There are also two small restroom beside the dressing room. One of them is equipped with a shower head. 


They do sell shakes here with the price fixed. And there is also energy drink (Gorilla) and 100 plus for sales in the fridge beside.

I saw someone left his protein shake in the fridge before working out. Nice move! How nice it is to drink your icy cold protein shake after a hot sweaty grueling gym session.

The cardio area (stationary bikes and treadmill)


 Still figuring out the use of the machine on the right side. 


You can refill your water here! Just be sure to bring your water bottle! I forgot to bring mine haha

Never skip leg workout!! 

Wide selection of weights. How heavy can you lift? 15 for me.  =/


So considerate for the other gym users. *applause






Tried doing chest dips using this. Couldn't go more than 3reps. 

My fav chest press machine having a "transformer" feel towards it. 

Besides all of these machines, they have a few yoga mats and an ab roller for individuals who likes bodyweight exercises. *be sure to bring a towel to cover the yoga mat though. 


My friend is training like a boss here. 
Gotta thank him for giving us guidance on how to workout more effectively.

Training the core! (on the way to six pack abs.)

Everyone is feeling good after the "torture" is finally coming to an end.


Overall, I had a great workout here with my friends. It is a great place to workout, as they keep the place windy by having their windows widely opened, unlike some gyms that may feel stuffy.  I love the workout music they played over there as well. It gets me more motivated to finish the workout!! 
We had a post-workout meal over at Nathan's Corner.  Me and my friend ordered nasi briyani and it turns out to be quite satisfying to the taste bud together with a glass of limau ais. =D

If you are interested to go, you could take lrt there as this gym is located very near to the lrt station muhibbah (walking distance) 

The address is No. 15-2, Jalan 6/155, Taman Perindustrian Bukit OUG, 58200 Kuala Lumpur. It is also in the same row as  Nathan's corner and just above 7-eleven store. 
Contact them at 603-7773 2157

Let's get fit this year 2016! 

Goal : Greek God physique ( maybe in my dreams) 
Hoping dreams could translate into reality. =D

You need help?

Have you ever get annoyed by those messages sent by random people requesting help from you?
I have received a handful.
And I am sure you would have gotten a few messages asking you to do a favour if you are on social media. What favour? (liking their pictures or page/ fill in a survey etc)
I was once very annoyed, but I am no longer so.

In the past, when someone asked me for help out of a sudden, I would feel used or being taken advantage of, especially when strangers or friends come to me.
Now when people come to me for help, I would be asking myself:
  1. Why can't I just help them when I have the ability to do so? 
  2. What is my loss?
  3. What if I put myself in their shoes/situations?
  4. What if I am joining a contest that requires votes on social media? (only applicable to social media) 
Till this day, I am still not a big fan of asking people for likes when it comes to contests going on social media (FB, insta etc) that needs the highest amount of votes to win.
Because it means that I need to disturb peoples life and trouble them to do something which doesn't give them much benefits.

It is difficult to ask for favour, knowing that some people would turn you down and won't lend you a hand no matter what. I understand that we have the choice to not offer help to others, but try to imagine not getting any help from others.How would it feel? e.g. When you are lost and asking directions and no one offers you any help

Some people would not help out at all as they can't see any benefit for them.
What are the benefits gained out of liking someone's picture/post?
Just a thank you ? For some, it is not something they opt for.
They would choose to ignore and claim that they are busy without having a few seconds to spare.
These people don't like to take the time out to help others, but yet they expect others to help them when they are in need.

What goes around, comes around/others treat us how we treat them.
So for those who always turn people down even when they can help should not be complaining about why others don't give them any assistance! And from another perspective, this quote is not to say treating others nicely would guarantee the same response from them, but I believe treating others the way we wanted to be treated is the way we can live to have a more fulfilling life. 

Why can't we help whenever we can?
I can't seem to find any reason not to help - (exception for certain scams)
I always believe in helping others would make this planet a better place.
And what do I get in return for being helpful?
I might get nothing, but no reward is needed if we are genuine in helping.
Or the biggest reward might be seeing the happiness in others?

Of course, there is still a lot of people out there who have pure intention in helping others.
But I hope that more people would start treating each other kindly without focusing only on gains such as fun, enjoyment and money purposes.
To be around each other enjoying each other's companionship with a listening ear and supporting hand readily available and connecting at a deeper level without restrictions of being the trueself.
