well, SSC gyms might be crowded specially at the Jurong East gym. However, majority of the regulars there are really friendly

Anyway got one fren used to work at cali said the equipment there quite complete, but must stay away from the trainers if you don't want to get talked into a pocket burning programme (he's a trainer himself).

The rates quite shocking sia... for that kind of money i can get 1 to 1 training sessions with qualified fitness instructors in the privacy of their own gyms already, some more I was told many of cali's trainers are not certified in sports science and to give lessons, so i steer clear lor. Then again, forums got a lot of horror stories about the policies of the mega gyms so...

Fitness First - ( Juz be careful too in gym)

True Fitness - (You already can tell when you go there...juz be careful again...)

Neighbourhood gyms are crowded, but they also allow your wallet to remain crowded.

Private mega gyms are spacious, but they also help your wallets to become spacious

Seriously, private ones tend to have better ambience, better equipment, and the stuff is usually also maintained in better condition.

I lol-ed at your reply. Does anyone knows how much are the rates for SAFRA's gyms?

You can check out if there is any neighbourhood gyms at this website :
