Very Different

Followed a friend to California Fitness last weekend as he had a a 10-day pass for me. It was given to members to give to their friends inconjunction with Cal Fit's 10th Anniversary.

It was a bright Saturday afternoon when I stepped in to Cal Fit at Menara Standard Chartered and my, was I..err..amazed?..surprised?..shocked? Don't really know which word to use. It was certainly very different from Clark Hatch where I have been working out for the last 8 months. Firstly, it was the sheer amount of people at the gym. In CH, at off peak hours, you would probably have 5-8 people working out and at peak hours, it would be no more than 30 people. But at CF, it was like Puduraya!

Secondly, it was the amount of "happy" people which got my attention. It seems that 8 out of 10 guys there are from the "happy" family. If you are wondering what "happy" people means...think of another word for happy... :-) They are walking around in the locker room with the towel hanging as low as possible...checking out every guy that walks in. I must admit it was quite intimidating and scary.

Nevertheless, the amount people there...sad or happy...gave the gym, life! It was buzzing with activity, drawing you in and encapsulating you in their world. It was fun and enjoyable working out at CF.

And by Saturday evening...I walked out of Cal Fit...a member. So good bye Clark Hatch and thanks for the great months of helping me workout.
