My Fitness Gym

This gym is like the best-kept secret in town... nested on the fourth floor of Endah Parade (Carrefour Sri Petaling) for more than a year now, My Fitness is indeed... unheard of! Who would venture anywhere above the second floor of Endah Parade???

So the rat goes to this new-found gym, of course for free with this 1-week free trial pass. Thanks to the long Haji plus Christmas holiday! Have been thrashing iron daily since last Thursday...

The lockers

My Fitness gym consists of two floors; lower floor is the gym itself with all the weights and machines, while second floor houses the food & juice bar, yoga room, spa, and changing rooms with shower and sauna.

The lockers are a bit on the anorexic side.

Do guys actually sit down and blow their hair? So gay!

Cardio machines.

The cardio machines are impressive in terms of quantity, quality and variety. Each machine comes with its own dedicated LCD screen that display up to 5 different Astro channels!

The resistant machines are equally good and complete too! The equipments are top-notch! Very well-maintained even after more than 1-year old (either that or they are lacking members working out).
Resistant machines.

Resistant machines.

And here comes the free-weight area. Again, equipments are of good quality and rather complete. Impressive for a Malaysian-owned gym! Totally comparable to other corporate mega-gyms like Fagness Fitness First and California Fitness.


This gym advocates Weider and Horleys product, which I think are crap. Membership fees is about RM105 per month. I was able to work out comfortably and hog the machines and weights to myself during my five days there, as the number of members is on the low side (I think!). Here's the location map, flicked from the gym's website. Modified it a little to include IMU Bukit Jalil campus:

Nice ambience.. I prefer gyms with natural light coming in and not those dark subterranean ones.

The lockers are so tight! Imagine peak hour and the crush at the space!

[anony]:
i was more into swimming and badminton during phase 1, and yes, relatively more sedentary compared to now. hehe...

[lm]:

if really wan go for gym...never join my fitness,sri petaling... they will just cheat your money... machines and services are bad and more worst when the personal trainer most of them are not qualified...they are not professional at all when you request for teaching how to use the machine,they will just ignore you..as I was joined before

the prices are not fixed.It may depend on your finacial background..they mostly charge those who used many credit card or cash...it means they prefer rich people to go there and charge them like fitness first but my fitness cannot compare wit fitness first as they are not professional and not standard,still the first outlet in Malaysia...oh gosh, many people had been cheated by them and many shown in china press also

Just a reminder. The place isn't safe. 2 days ago i just had my phone and cash stolen in the locker. The lock is not tempered. Wallet and other stuff not missing, except cash and 2-months old iphone4. Just keep all your belonging with you. This is not the first time happen in the gym. Be careful.

K.K. said...

tks for the headsup Reno. i haven't been to MyFitness since early 2008. Last i went there we were required to bring our own padlocks. since your lock is not tempered you were saying they have another way to open the lockers without removing the padlocks?

i'm with fitness first now. as with other gyms, there are cases with stolen items from lockers.

guess we all need to be extra careful! happy gymming!

The gym gets worse not only with the equipments but also the staffs. They don't have a respect to the membership card holders. They don't take your complaint seriously and accuse you back. E.g My wife is pregnant and didn't utilize the gym for the 1st and 2nd month. On 3rd month I went to the gym and request for freezing. Guess what? Freezing activate from the day you requested the balance 2 month is burn!! They can check whether this pregnant lady utilize the gym in their system. I asked lets say on the 6th month inform the gym, “YES, your 6month burn”. Does this make sense? It is not purpose and your record should show as to whether this member does use the gym or not during pregnancies. Another scenario, I heard from other members, when they got freezing for free- by Late MR. Jeff (Each time you freeze, RM38 charged) it’s not reflected into your membership card. They ask for evidence since they don’t have the records, supposedly they should have all the members records
