TF Gym in Mong Kok
About $35 a month
-Good location
-Clean facilities, they are constantly wiping down all equipment and mats
-All rubber plates and DBs which I hear is a good thing. Plenty of plates to go around
-Everything I need can be found - dip belt, different lat pull grips, swiss balls, etc
-Everything is in very good condition
-Not very busy when I go, everyone is friendly
-Plenty of space to relax, shower, etc. Balcony for tanning (though I have a rooftop now)
Cons
-Only one power rack. Tons of space wasted on useless machines - 2 of the 3 smith machines should be replaced by power racks. 4 of the 5 curl machines should be replaced (although to be honest, those are the most frequently used)
-If the training room has a class going, you can't go in there even if there would be room, so there is nowhere else to do my stretches or mobility warmups
-Had to pay 2 years cash to get a decent price. I can put it on 'hold' if need be, for a fee
-They don't let me leave my bag in a locker to go out even for a reasonably short time
Other than the goofy machines, I like that it is a very 'no frills' gym. Very hard to find in HK, most are
overpriced 'trendy' gyms or
under equipped roidmonkey gyms, or overcrowded
'low price high volume' gyms.
