Slimmers World

[CHINITALOVER]

Slimmers Greenhills ka pala. Matagal ka na dito? Lifetime ka din?

 

Dito wala ako problema. Dito sa Greenhills kahit ilapag mo Cellphone mo sa sahig hindi mawawala. Wala pa ako na-encounter na magna dito.

 

Yup! Been a member since 1997 pa! :boo: Slimmer's Timog pa ako nun...

 

As for the magna, twice na ako na disgrasya sa Greenhills....but that does not have been a factor to affect my schedule from going there regularly...it just made me a lil' more careful...coz this can happen rin naman with any other gyms...

 

Kaso talagang bad trip... :grr: ...Sana makarma yun ko sino man sya!

 

:goatee:

[Humpster!!!!]

lifetime member din ako dito

Well, then again, it will all boil down to results... At the end of the day, the winner of these arguments are those who have results, can produce results or has the most efficient manner of producing results as compared to everyone else... I guess if eclipsegym comes out on top after all these gym wars, then eclipseguy was right... hehehehehehehehehe... Right and truth is a luxury for the victorious...

True dat and this has been my main argument since the beginning...results.

I admit I pmed Olympus and asked him about something. Anong connect nun sa gym na pinupuntahan ko? Alam mo Eclipseguy, lagay na natin na super dooper expert ka pagdating sa fitness chuva.. pero ikaw pa din yan.. hindi yan porke nasa eclipse gym ka.. o sa gold's gym ka.. gets ba? So ganun pa din, wala sa gym yan.. nasa tao yan. Kung di ka masaya sa Slimmers, di hindi ka masaya.. nobody can argue with that naman. BUT that doesn't give you the right na i-harass mo kmeng hindi ganun ang views. Nasabi mo na yun piece mo, di tapos na. Hindi ka masaya sa Slimmers, di wag ka na pumunta ulit sa thread na to. Ganun lang naman kasimple ang buhay.. wag na lang natin pahirapin. Kung super dooper badtrip ka sa mga "tanga" na taga-Slimmers, wala rin naman pumipilit sa yo na i-accommodate mo mga queries nila.. kung pino-provide mo pa rin ang serbisyo mo despite that... di super bait ka naman pala.. di pagpalain ka nawa ni San Pedro. :hypocritesmiley:

 

Tsaka eh ano naman kung nanalo ang gym mo sa competition? Di nanalo. Hindi naman porke nanalo yan ibig sabihin best gym ka na. Nang matalo ba si Pacquiao sa boxing ibig sabihin engot na sha? Hindi naman ganun yun.. alam mo naman siguro yun.

[black cat]

Ahm.. tama ginagawa ni Chinitalover... DEADMA! Hehehe.. Princeracket, don't answer his posts anymore.. it doesn't matter anyway.

 

Hoy Chinita, ang laki na pala ng binaba ng timbang mo! Galing ah! Yun officemate ko rin na sinama ko sa Slimmers.. 30 lbs rin ang binaba ng weight nya.. super happy na nga sha ngayon eh.. she's so thankful na inaya ko daw sha magworkout. Yun hubby nga lang nya badtrip sa kin.. hehe.. kse naiinsecure sha ngayon kse sexy na asawa nya.

hey coach, it may be hard to admit it but she's got a point here

the truth of the matter is that you can't win 'em all

you may hev all the good intentions but all people ain't the same

so let them be

eclipse gym has nothing to prove here

it will boil down to results

as long as we're making our own people happy

and satisfied

let them do the rest...

 

 

PEACE TO ALL EXCEPT GOLLUM

Fair enough.

 

All that really matters to me in the end is that the people who are looking for a "weekend warrior" gym find their place of choice and those looking for a gym like ours find us. There is a distinct difference, as you found out in your own time as a member, and that is the purpose of a discussion forum...to point out the differences so people don't waste their time and money via needless blind experimentation.

worshipme, talk about results, depende sa tao kse yun hindi sa gym.. kahit latagan mo ang isang tao ng isang malupit na program, kung wala naman shang disiplina sa sarili nya, wala pa din mangyayare.

 

speaking for myself, kahit sa slimmer's ako na kine-claim nyong mga ngengot ang mga tao, nakita ko naman na may positive outcome ang pag-gym ko sa slimmer's.. ang pruweba ko ay madami akong colleagues ang nagsipag-enrol na rin sa slimmer's kse ako ginawa nilang benchmark (though feeling ko hindi naman pa perfect ang body ko).. pero di rin naman lahat pumayat.. pero meron din pumayat.. gets ba? so, wala talaga sa gym yan.. nasa may katawan yan. kaya tigilan na yan gym war na yan. ang pag-enrol naman talaga sa isang gym ay depende sa mga factors na to: budget, proximity and availability. Ganun lang yun. Pare-pareho lang naman bigat ng mga weights eh.. nagkakatalo na lang yan sa mga cheap gyms may kalawang na yun mga weights.. sa slimmers naman wala eh.. so ayos pa din sa kin yun. Gustuhin ko man pumunta sa super dooper perfect eclipse gym na yan, di naman possible sa kin since malayo ang work at bahay ko jan.

 

eclipseguy, may equipment ba jan sa gym mo na hihilata lang ako, sesexy na ko? O kailangan ko pa rin mag-exert ng effort na pumunta at magbuhat ng mga equipment na yan? Kse kung less effort ako jan sa gym mo na yan (less time to workout tapos hataw pa din ako sa kain) pero sesexy ako lalo.. aba.. maski malayo yan, di jan na ko.

mam, i got ur point pero nde lng po depende sa tao un kundi maging sa gym na din.

dhil kung gaano man ka-determined ang isang individual na mging sexy kung hinde nman tama ang program na binigay sa kanya ng instructor wla ding mangyayari

kiung merong isang gym na bawat pag assist na gagawin ay may katapat na pera, para san pa ung monthly dues at membership fees?

at kung abutin na ng two years ang isang tao despite of the fact na halos inuubos na nya ang bawat isang araw sa isang linggo sa pag gym ay hindi pa rin nya maabot ang goal nya, dpat pb syang magtagal sa gym na un khit gaano pa ka-prestigious?

mam, ipagpaumanhin nyo po pero meron po ba akong namention na NGENGOT ang mga tao sa slimmer's?

wla pong gym wars mam not that i know of..

pero kung meagkaroon man at nagkataon e nakasagasa ng sensitibong damdamin ang aming Head Coach sa pagsabi ng katotohanan hayaan na lamang po ninyo akong magpaumanhin.

ano pong klase ng paghahataw sa pagkain ang ibig nyong sabihin mam?

ung bande-bandehado po ba?

pwede pa rin po un mam ( na kayo'y seSEXY) pero ang tanong kayanin po kya ninyo ang sqauts, deadlifts at bench press na 6x10?

kung OO, try po natin...

[arkitekto]

Arki, sa Alabang kse ako on weekends.

 

Minsan nakakapagod na rin mag-exercise.. hayy. I also tried boxing.. si Peeves nagba-boxing di ba.. I just dont know kung hanggang ngayon pa din.

 

Nakakapagod... dapat bang may cable TV sa treadmill at stairmaster?... sa kabila meron.

 

Baka dapat may guwapo yata, pero yung walang killer na ex. Hehehe

 

Was with peeves two weekends ago sa Anilao. Kami ang umubos ng bulalo including the good stuff, kaya kailangang mag-gym nga.

 

I guess it helps to mix it up with a sport maybe. Makisali sa mga women's marathon, at hatak ng mga kaibigan sa gym, tulad ng gawa mo, maybe badminton or tennis on the side. Ako, balik basketball and jogging muna ngayon.

I don't understand Tagalog well enough to answer the question asked of me above, so I'll share the following:

 

Someone came into EGI today looking for me specifically. I'm not normally there, so it was chance that I was able to have this conversation instead of my managers relaying it to me:

 

Him, "I want to train for Slimmers World Bikini Bodies, but I don't want to take steroids to win. Everyone who is in the Top 5 takes steroids. I hope this doesn't offend you that I'm asking you to consider training me for their show."

 

Me, "Uh...well you came to the right place I suppose....but what made you come to us?"

 

Him, "You've trained some of my friends, and the results are already showing after 6 weeks. I can tell that you guys don't do roids. I am working out at Adriatico Slimmers right now and everyone is pushing me to join. I was planning on transferring to you guys since I found out about you, but I hope you are not offended that I might consider competing for them."

 

Me, "This is not the first time a Slimmers World member wanted me to train them for a Slimmers World show. I don't blame you, even though I used to be against this kind of thing. But I know that I wouldn't be able to prepare at Slimmers World even if it was free to train there. When I trained for one of their shows 2 years ago, I joined Gold's to do so. Most of their members don't train at Slimmers for Great Bodies or Bikini Bodies....they join other gyms or work out in a home gym."

 

Him, "Ha ha ha! Dude, you are SO right! That place is a farce. I joined like 4 years ago and I guit after 3 weeks, even though I bought a lifetime membership. Now I work out at home. Their equipment is so sh!t and old. I just showed up there and the sales rep talked me into thinking about joining. I wanna do it but I don't want to embarrass myself."

 

Me, "I don't blame you. When I was in high school, I could use the gym for free. But because it sucked, I sold candy to my friends to earn enough money to join the YMCA in Rockford, Illinois. It wasn't the best, but at least I had the ability to train properly."

 

Him, "Yea, Slimmers is so 3rd World...I wish more people wouldn't make the same mistake."

 

The conversation continued as I showed him around EGI while we both had a great deal of fun bashing Slimmers World, the ignorance of their average member, and the whole 3rd world mentality surrounding their "aura". Slimmers World has neither the proper equipment nor the the people who work there who can show you how to use what little that they have in a proper manner. Maybe this individual and myself have rediculously high standards with respect to equipment and physical beauty (for men AND women), but I hardly think so. I think it has more to do with the fact that most people set their standards too low. Shoot for the moon. If, over 6 months to a year you hit the stratosphere, you've done damn well for yourself. The problem we see is that most people at Slimmers World look like they've never launched from the launching pad in the first place.

 

I blame their system...not their members.

looks like a discussion from another forum...

 

im a follower of the 5x5 system promoted by eclipse..

Oh well, yun tone kse ng post na kesyo sinasagot nya pa mga queries ng mga taga-slimmers blah blah blah.. connotes na ngengot kse kaya tatanong tanong pa.

 

Yes.. hataw as in kain lang ng kain at di iisipin ang figure.. hehehe. Anyways, ayan worshipme ha.. do you think yan squats, deadlifts at bench press hindi pwede gawin sa slimmers? Pwedeng pwede naman ah. So, palpak pala mga trainors sa slimmers? Hmm.. masabi nga sa consultant ko yan.. kse naman gaganda ng katawan nila eh.. di paniwala ako sa binibigay nilang program sa kin.. afterall, ano ba naman pruweba ang dapat ko pang i-ask di ba? Eh sa kabilang thread nga na build a model body.. nirequest kong ipost mga picture ng body nila para makapag-decide ako kanino ako maniniwala. Gets mo ba? Pag kita ko kse na may washboard abs.. tapos firm ang arms at chest at hindi parang legs ng manok ang legs.. aba para sa kin may karapatan yun magrecite ng effective na program. Pero shemps, iba iba kse ang mga katawan natin di ba.. as the program progresses, shempre sa sarili mo.. mas alam mo kung ano na talaga yun program na nagwowork sa yo.

Ang takaw nyo ah.. di man lang kayo namigay.

 

Ako, other sport ko is dancing.. di ba sport din yun? hehehe.. as in I really love dancing.. kahit mag-isa lang ako nagsasayaw na parang autistic (as in may sariling mundo ako while i dance). I also play badminton kaso wala akong makalaro eh tapos ang hirap pa magpareserve ng court dito sa Makati.
