Professional Workout in Zhuhai

September 20, 2007 | Author: Carl Pei | Filed under: Zhuhai, Lifestyle, Personal

When I just arrived in Zhuhai and was looking for somewhere to work out, I got stopped one day on my way home from the supermarket by a solicitor for a local gym. He took me for a 20min walk to the gym, I sign up, and he earns his 70 kuai ($10 USD). The gym / fitness center is called Huofenghuang (Fire Phoenix) and is located at Xiangzhou Station. They also offer dancing, yoga and other girly stuff for free. :)

So I go there a few times a day, and do my regular routine. One day one of the trainer helps me correct some moves, and then offers me to try 1-to-1 personal coaching. It sounded good, and I decided to pay for September; 500 RMB (approx. $70). At first I was a bit skeptical, but now I can say it really makes a difference, in both workout quality and motivation. Before, I used to go maybe 3 times a week. Now I go 4-5 times a week.

I’ve seen great development too, I’ve never been this fit in my life! My strength and the overall shape of my body has improved vastly - already fetching compliments.

My experience with working out in Zhuhai has been much better than working out in Beijing. If you have the time and money (especially in China), I highly recommend you to get a trainer at your gym.

Hi, Zhuhai is in Beijing? How much is the regular monthly membership there? I badly need to workout. I’ve only been in Beijing 1 month.

Hey, sorry if I didn’t make it clear…

Zhuhai is another city, in the south of China.
