We came in for our free trial in the hopes of signing up for a membership but no one showed up even though we contacted them the day before. The membership price looked very reasonable and we were excited to try it out. From what I can gather, the facilities are very nice and outfitted well. The following is my breakdown of what I can see from the outside (again never having gone inside) Pros: The gym looks very clean and the equipment is well maintained and new Plenty of weights, machines, and open area All the free weights are organized tidily, including plates, dumbbells, kettle bells, etc. (Even at 6am) Squat rack Water fountain Mobility, multi use open area Great lighting Cons: Nothing I can see from a gym equipment and space standpoint Would be nice to have a couple of additional free Olympic sized barbells for women and men No attendant at the time we arrived to sign us up

I have been here consistently and it doesn't really matter what time you go it is always pretty busy. On Sunday's it isn't as bad in the afternoon. However, weekdays the mornings around 10am can be busy. The location has 3 floors. First floor is the front desk and changing rooms, second floor is the gym with weights, machines and cardio equipment and the third floor is the open space for the classes. The gym area with weights its too crowded. It can be hard to find a space to lift free weights. The cardio equipment isn't bad they have ellipticals and treadmills. Equipment works well and even has fans on them to cool you down. The overall gym isn't super hot they have ACs around. They have a lot of free weights and I have never had a hard time with trying to find the weight I need. They have one squat rack and then two other racks but the barbell stays attached...not sure of the name. They have benches that are adjustable. They are pretty complete when it comes to equipment. I like that they have a ladder taped on the ground to use. The gym atmosphere here is I am not sure how to describe it. Everyone that is working out is polite. However, they have trainers wearing red shirts walking around or training their clients. It can be weird though when you feel someone staring at you. I try not to care but I feel it. Also, trainers sometimes approach you to offer you a free workout. I asked one of the trainers what their background/education was in and it wasn't sports science or anything fitness. So just take note of their knowledge/education in fitness. I am sure they have experience but just know it isn't their speciality most of the time. The showers are average. I have seen better. The locker room is always clean. They have someone always making sure it is tidy. I am glad I experienced Gold's Gym. It isn't a bad place it's just when you know you have worked out somewhere better it is hard to be satisfied with Gold's. If anything I will sign up for membership because it is a good location and the price is very good!

Gold's Gym is probably the most affordable out of all the big gym chains in Metro Manila, with the other ones including Fitness First and Anytime Fitness. This does not mean that it's lacking equipment! This location in particular is fairly complete in equipment for weight training. There's a good amount of free weights, benches and machines available for whatever muscle group you're working out. If cardio is your thing, they also do have quite a few ellipticals, treadmills and stationary bikes. A minor grip is that the gym does feel a bit cramped on the floor with all the equipment, but hey, this is Metro Manila so space is forever at a premium. The staff is always pretty accommodating and friendly, as are the people using the gym. I'm normally in not much of a mood to make social interaction since I'm focused on my workout but I've never seen anyone too much of a meathead to distract from people's workouts with grunting or yelling. Facilities are clean. I often see gymgoers wiping down benches machines after they're done using them, so I like that sense of ownership. Locker rooms are pretty clean too.

For those who are living in the Guadalupe area looking for a fitness facility that is cheap but…read moreprovides quality service, you might want to check out Gymbassy. Located near the barangay hall of Guadalupe Nuevo, Gymbassy caters mostly to residents of nearby barangays who are looking for a quick and cheap workout session. Though the venue is relatively small, the gym is pretty well equipped with basic things any gym rat would need. Though they don't have any treadmill for cardio workouts, you can use their stationary bike to start off your session and break a sweat. The gym is not air conditioned since most of their members prefer an open-air workout place. Probably not the best place to do your work-outs during the summer season (INSANE HEAT!!!) but at night, the cool air breeze is enough to set a more comfortable room temperature. What's fascinating about Gymbassy is that they offer one-on-one TRX sessions. If you're interested, make sure to book an appointment at least a day before your workout. As early as 6 in the morning, clients schedule their TRX sessions with coach Mark Banta who will only need around 30-45 minutes to do one full session of TRX workout. You can check with him directly regarding the rates of the one-on-one TRX sessions. Coach Mark is actually a good friend of mine and I've seen his work. He's gotten a bit popular in the workout world, having a couple of local celebs choosing him to oversee their workouts. I have yet to try to have a session with him but I'll probably jump at the chance when I'm not so lazy anymore. Haha. Anyway! TRX sessions are advisable for people who don't have much time to spare to workout due to their busy schedules. Some clients schedule their TRX classes before going to work, which according to coach Mark, is better since you still have enough energy to condition your mind to workout rather that doing it after work. You can workout at Gymbassy at a very cheap rate of 45 pesos per session (TRX not included). Gymbassy also sells bananas and hard-boiled eggs, perfect for your pre-workout food. You can also purchase thirst quenchers like Gatorade, although the gym does offer free distilled water.

I saw some reviews which seemed like people just wanted to hate so here's an honest review: - I've been here when it's packed and I smell nothing I always see people cleaning and wiping when I visit. - I've been here at 4am and there were two employees there so I felt safe enough. - as for gym bag I always carry it with me. I wouldn't trust leaving it on an open rack. For the Philippines working out anytime you want is quite difficult but not anymore! - this is one of the first main stream 24/7 gyms in the Philippines There equipment is top notch. They have : - bosu balls - boxing bags - trx - foam rollers - elliptical - stair master - bikes - yoga room - classes - bench press - free weights And much more What's cool about this gym is that if you sign up for this gym you're allowed to go to any anytime fitness gym around the world. Which is perfect for me because I travel a lot Some gyms can get pricey especially in BGC also not many gyms are open 24/7 especially for the price so this is really the best option for me

But being in advertising makes that a bit more difficult given the long and late hours I spend at work. I try to wake up early to sneak-in a workout session (I can already hear Yoda saying - -"Do or do not. There is no try.") but my nightly overtime keeps on shooting that horse in the face. It's gotten so bad that sometimes the only workout I get in a week is hopping around the conference room on a pogo stick during brainstorming (which is actually fun, but I digress...) I've been a member of two gyms already in my 15-year quest for abs and I usually encounter the same problem - -I don't get to maximize my gym membership because of operating hours. But that's about to change thanks to Anytime Fitness High Street - -one of 2,900 Anytime Fitness gyms around the world that operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year - -in short my kind of gym. With my previous gym membership expired, I was on a lookout for a new gym that operated until later hours. While searching online I found out that Anytime Fitness BGC High Street branch was already open. Excited, I rushed to visit on the same day, just to inquire initially but I found myself walking out a member. Signing up was so easy, and the staff was very accommodating and friendly. If you plan to pay for your monthly dues via credit card you're initial cash out on the spot would only be P3, 500 - -P1, 000 for the joining fee and P2, 500 for your very own Key FOB - -which gives you 24-hour access to the gym (and if you've been a member for a month, 24-hour access to all other Anytime Fitness branches worldwide). The gym is clean, it has all the equipment you need to get in shape and is even set up in a way that allows you to do HIIT workouts and even circuit training if that's what you fancy. And if you're very particular about bathrooms/locker rooms the gym offers you private bathrooms each made for individual use --complete with shower and toilet (yay privacy!) Now I get to work out anytime I can. So while everyone is out at midnight or at home asleep, you'd probably find me at Anytime Fitness Hight Street running on the treadmill, swinging some kettle balls, or doing a few burpees. Now that's fitness in your own time.

Now a yuppie myself, I've now grown to love Oz for the amiable place that it is. Flaunting an amiable environment to get fit rather than a breeding ground for vanity and self-adoration, Oz strikes the perfect balance between showing you what you could be, while being sympathetic to your own abilities. That's all thanks to a well-run gym, comprehensive equipment and a rather motivating staff to pump you up on those grind sessions!

Fitness and Aerobics Centre, Inc started by a group of UP Athletes Nina, Danny, Edric, Elaine, Malou and Tudor at Ever Gotesco Mall Commonwealth Avenue. Then they relocated in Don Antonio Heights. Yes, their goal was to make fitness and sports be a part of Filipino culture by bringing quality fitness education, programs, equipment affordable. They did a lot of promotions on print, tv and radio and even had tournaments like Taekwondo, Judo, Jujitsu, Fun Runs, Aerobics Marathons, Bodybuilding contests nationwide. They even brought in the celebrities from ABS CBN. (Did not Nina worked for ABS CBN and Manila Bulletin?? ) In so doing, they put that part of Quezon City on the map, lol! Plus bring the communities closer and progressive. They even had a Newsletter and Swimming Program! Are the Spa , Pro Shop and Snack Bar still there? Wonder who owns it now? Too bad they did not keep the original name going. Flex was a hit! Whatever happened to those inspirational young owners? Nice to know that their legacy lives on.

Updated down to 3 Stars…read more As much as I still like this gym and this branch, their towel service has been really inconsistent lately. I don't mind paying the P50 for a set of two (workout towel + bath towel); and tolerated it when I would have to get two workout towels (one for actually working out and one for after showering - imagine having to towel dry your whole body with a hand towel/washcloth), I think it's not acceptable (for a gym at least) to have no towels at all. The past weeks, it's been no bath towel, no workout towel - and now it's down to no towel at all. So bring your own towels if you can; or go home sweaty and stinky. ------ 3.5 stars. Last year I came home after living for 3 years in the states. The last 2 or so months there were really stressful for me and I'm the type who eats when stressed. I had this notion that I wouldn't be able to go back to the states for a while so I ate everything in my path. Seriously. Grocery Cupcakes. Animal Style In N Out. "I don't care anymore" ice cream. Needless to say, when I got back, I wasn't exactly in best shape. And adjusting to the weather (or air?) here, my asthma went haywire too. I knew I needed to get back to exercising and was quite happy to find out that this Gold's Gym was only a few blocks away from my place. So I started going. The gym itself is a bit small. There's only one pair of dumbbells for each weight (need the 30 pound ones and they're in use? Use the 25 or 35 ones first. Or wait). And there are also only about 8 treadmills and a few other cardio machines (not counting the spinning machines). In terms of weight equipment, i'd say they they have a complete assortment - you can workout all body parts, maybe just wait a bit if machines are in use. They also have a wet and dry sauna - the dry one is under repair as of this writing, while the wet one is on during specific times of the day. They do have a pretty large aerobics class area and a good number of spinning class type bikes as well. The gym's size is a little small compared to the Glorietta or Galleria branches and may get crowded during peak hours. I tend to go at around 10am when there's no one around - and even then I would have to sometimes wait for some machines. There are times as well in the morning when a whole soccer team comes in and basically takes over the weights area and a lot of the cardio class area. What is great about this branch though are the people - and I honestly think people could make or break the my experience. The staff is generally helpful and friendly and I've been given pretty good advice especially since my asthma is triggered when I do cardio. Overall, I like my little gym. I still don't have abs (I blame it on my non-diet haha) but I do feel much better than I did months ago. Gold's is convenient, and the people are nice. Since I go at odd hours, I don't have much trouble with crowds, or, at least I don't have to wait too long. But please, if you're in and on a machine, don't take calls. If you do need to take a call, vacate the machine so others can use it ?

It's literally in the middle of BGC. The staff here is friendly and pretty aloof, which is nice. The gym itself has also been consistently clean, especially notable given how busy it is. The peak hours rule definitely applies from 5-9pm!! People love coming here right after work on weekdays, it seems. The gym itself is pretty small and there is zero redundancy in workout equipment in the weight room. Get used to waiting. Luckily most of the gym-goers here are friendly and are open to letting you cycle in. I wish there were more weights available as that would definitely improve their score. The gym itself feels kinda cramped too.

When used correctly, it can be an effective fitness tool that can give total body strength and toning. You can get the best benefits from kettlebells but you can't just buy them from a store and train yourself. Proper coaching is required and this you can get from L3F Kettlebell gym. I didn't have an idea what kettlebells were before coming here. All I knew was that I had better prepare myself. I met the owner and trainer, Tim Ayson and he gave me quick briefing on the exercise first, then made me do a couple of kettlebell rounds based on my goals: to build muscle and burn fat. I'd be lying if I tell you that it was easy. I found the whole thing incredibly hard. I looked like a sweaty little infant compared to the other students there and by the last round I was done. This gym is great for anyone who is dead serious about really giving their body a lift. Tim is very helpful to all his students and you can be sure that he'll give you the hardest yet most effective workout you've ever had.
