It has been proven by abundance of scientific researches about the beneficial of exercise, regardless the type of exercise namely strength training, aerobic (mostly people just say it cardio), and flexibility training.
To give some example for each type, strength or resistance training can be included free weight training or weight training using the weight machine or well known patterned group exercise for this type is BodyPump from LessMill training system.
Aerobic exercise such as running (indoor or outdoor), swimming, cycling (stationary or not), or those attending gym surely familiar with BodyStep, BodyCombat and BodyAttack or for more challenge gym member may join rpm class, which is stationary cycling in a group lead by an instructor.
As for flexibility, individual may join YOGA, Pilates, Hattha YOGA, Power Yoga, BodyBallance and few more of simply do a proper stretching. All these three type of exercise are needed to ensure each component of physical fitness is optimum.
It is amazing to see the growth of fitness center or we simply call it gym. It becomes a lifestyle especially for younger working class. Joining a gym nowadays not only for the purpose of getting fit but also is a way to socialize and to get some relaxation after a hectic work in office. Well, some may get more than this and I’m not going to mention it here. Who tastes the honey will know how sweet it is. (to replace, siapa makan cili dia yang pedas, Who eats chilli will know how hot it is as this normally refers to something unwanted or unbeneficial effect)
To name some of it, Fitness First, TrueFitness, FitnessNetwork and California Fitness. I must say, Ministry of Youth and Sports also play an important role in this changes by providing a public gym as we could see it in Desa Pandan and also in Titiwangsa Park. With the cost much lower, exerciser can simply get exercise equipments by visiting the public gym.
Talking about joining, attending and working out in the gym, few things that proved our physical development is much better as compared to mind attitude changes. Some may realize and some may not, but it is happening. Shall I name it as gym jerk?? Will it be too much??
The sweat giver – this type of gym members always annoy me. They simply leave the exercise machine with their sweat on it. I’m sure nobody….. NOBODY wish to share their sweat. Please and please bring the small towel with you and wipe the machine, if you (guys) feel carrying the towel make you sissy, feminine or pondan (pardon my vocabulary) go get the towel provided and wipe your manly sweat (if it is really a man sweat!) and for this, ladies, I cant think of any excuse for not wiping your own sweat.
The odor giver – I’m not blaming God creations. Some of us were born with strong body odor. God created this individual together with the way how to encounter this problem. Please, please do not wear the same gym attire for few consecutive days.
The smelly footer - I swear to God, none will feel please when this type of members taking off their gym shoes in the changing room. Suffocated!! Intoxicated!! Again, I am not blaming them for having the problem, but knowing you are having this type of smelly feet, please take some action. Change your sock as often as you could and get two pairs of gym shoes so that you can rotate and let one of it well dried.
The free weight mister – this group they have few unpleasant attitudes. Well I’m not envy with their work out result … but the attitude really unhealthy. Few subcategories for this Free Weight Mister.
One – get almost all the dumbbells and make it like “all are mine”. Definitely you can not lift the entire dumbbell at the same time. Leave some for others.
Two – related to the number one, some do not know to return the weight back on the rack. I might understand if new member doing it, as they might not familiar with gym ethic, but it is unacceptable for gym freaks or gym goers to do the same. Ohh! Hate the most when the gym trainers doing the same, some so called PT simply leave the weight after the session! Gosh. Don’t these trainers equip with gym etiquette?
Three – lift the super heavy weight and at the end of the set, just let the weight hit the floor. Wow…. It is like telling the entire gym member you are the strongest man ever. You are so man….! Duhhh. Come on, the overload training principle is not until you can not control the weight.
Four – soundtrack maker. These Mr Free weights, I always wanna laugh at them. Lifting weight which is suitable for ladies but producing the sound like the one you could get from hardcore adult movies. Funny but annoying sometimes.
The restaurant goers – When the lounge area becomes a restaurant, some members, either consciously, subconscious or unconscious just leave the cup on the table. Come on!! The lounge is not a restaurant! None of the staff inside is a waiter/waitress.
The meeting organizer – I mentioned earlier on about joining gym is not only for exercising but it could be a way to socialize BUT not until having a long hour meeting in the middle of the exercise machine area. Saying hi and gossiping is OK (who doesn’t!) but not until blocking others.

SMS3 .... A sweet way to wish good night.
I think this will be my last SMS to you. I must bid adieu and thank you for making my day colorful and bright. You will no longer hear from me until the sun rises on the east again. You will no longer see me until the light brightens the day. I pray for your night to be a pleasant one. May sweet dream keep company while you are asleep. Good night. Sleep tight.
