我呢排諗住都係時候要開始keep住做gym..
So I checked out the fitness centres in Richmond online. (I live in Richmond)
Does anyone know any good places??

I heard Fitness World is not good becuz the ppl are pushy and just want u to pay~
I checked out Gold's Gym too but they dun hv much info on the website~
Watermania one seems pretty good...~

我想問下有冇人recommend邊間好？
有personal trainer就梗係更加好啦，不過唔知貴唔貴同埋會唔會呃你錢呢？

Thanks!!

Seems like the ppl there are either pushy or lazy~ XD

first i went to fitness world at coquitlam, to check out the price and informations. the manager there show us around and talked about lots of stuffs for 2ish hours. she kept pushing me to buy for the top two choice of the memebership and didn't even talked about the lowest one, but i paid the lowest memebership one just to leave, and refund it after two days. 10 days money back.
i signed up on the website for a week trial at northvan. the manager there just is just nice and lazy. after a week, i went in to talk to her about the membership, i was thinking to waste another 30mins talking about it. the conversation took less than 10mins, i'm out of her room. she didn't push me and let me think which membership i want to take.
the workers there, didn't asked me to apply for anything. plus the days i go there, there aren't alot of workers on the floor just few.

I looked into Sports Central~
But it seems like I like FitCity better~
I just duno the price that's all~

And another question...
Would playing badminton every week or twice a week meet my goal of toning??
Or would it just make my right arm muscular...?
Kind of a stupid question, but just thot I'd ask...~

fitcity should be good, they have personal trainers, u might get some discount or have existing members transfer their membership to u. some post the transfer on craigslist, take a look there, or try southarm community centre i think it will be cheaper than fitcity

I like Sport Central. I am a member there. They open 24 hrs and they currently have a promotion $150 for 4 months. I think its a good deal consider you don't have to sign a year long contract.

Don't go with Fitness World. Once you get in, you can't get out unless you're leaving the country. They are so pushy and always ask you to sign up even if you told them no.

As for gyms in Richmond, have you considered Sport Central? http://sportcentral.ca/
I remember some people talked about this place in the old lyk forum before.

The onli thing is...
I hv quite severe asthma...
And I work with toddlers alreadi during the day~

I wanted a personal trainer becuz I didn't wanna go ahead and start working out and get my asthma going while the allergy season is around as well.
I wanted to make sure that I m doing a good workout that will tone my body down a bit but yet not doing so much cardio to trigger my asthma~

sakura, i guess u r a "she"? if u just want to hit the gym to keep fit/loose weight, you might as well just use your bc climate action dividend, get a pair of good running shoes, and go do some interval running for 30 mins each day. no need to go to gym.
