GYM Comparison.....

While I was waiting for my wife to fetch me from Komuter SJ, I tool a walk to Subang Parade.

Hmmmm Celebrity Fitness?!!!! Should I?

I entered and talk to the consultant. He showed me around and explain what kinda packages they offer. Interesting..... cheaper than Fitness First. And their equipment are all new and look sophisticated. The membership consultant gave me 2 week free trial! Wow! So last Sat Morning I went for my first workout there and below are my findings (and comparison to FF)


PROs
1. The feature I like the most is they provide Towel service to all type of memberships, unlike FF!
2. All the equipment are facing the mirror, so we can watch our form while working out.
3. The free weight area is big! And they have plenty of benches.
4. They have 4 Smith Machine and all of them facing the mirror.
5. There is more weight variety in the dumbbell. And it is in the increment of 2.5 lb, unlike in FF which is in increment of 5.0lb. The dumbbell are the latest type, compact, so easier to lift.
6. There is a DJ in the house, so that the environment feel a bit lively, compared to FF which just play random songs.
7. The locker room is big, with many mirror and many hair dryer. There is guard on duty inside the locker room to guard our belongings.
8. The juice bar provide protein shakes! (off course not free la, have to pay)
9. They have many type of membership, the cheapest is RM77 per month. It is 24 month contract, you pay the lump sum of the 2 year fee in the 1st year, and you got 4 year membership (2 year free+2 year paid)
10. The trainers there look friendly. (too soon to judge)
11. Parking is free (if you park in Carrefour)
12. After training, can jalan-jalan and makan-makan in Subang Parade.

CONs

1. They don't provide free flow soft drink like in FF.
2. They don't provide plastics bags to put the wet clothes.
3. The locker don't have automated lock as in FF , we need to bring our own padlock.




So I guess, most probably I will join Celebrity Fitness and cancel with FF.
Anyway nanti dah tukar kerja, CF seems nearer to me.

P/s: been wondering, Am I a workout freak? But my body doesn't reflect that, am I just wasting my time?

I have decided...

If i stay here, I can brush up my management skills, and do not have to do technical stuffs, but the pay is low(er).
If I take the new offer, I will really go deep into technical (really specified) and the pay is higher.

The question:
Which one is important to me now?
Obviously, money!
If I am financially stable, I wont even bother applying to other places, but I really need to improve my financial.
I have no choice.
There is always doubt in me, whether I am making the right decisions.
What do you think guys, I badly need feedback in this!

Here I am again............

Here I am again, at the junction, I need to make a decision now. Which path to follow?

Hard decision, I think I am going crazy now.

Financially, I am a mess. I need to move on with my career.

Sometime I feel suffocated.

What if I took the wrong turn?

This is the moment where a simple phone call will change my life definitely....

Question is: for better or worse?
