I am obese

Apparently I'm obese! Omaigodd!!! *devastated*

Though I know that I have excess fats everywhere but never would I expected that I'm actually obese *tears* Don't you think that the machine at the gym was intentionally tweaked in such a way so that it gives bad readings so that everyone will sign up to their gym? Hmm... Well anyway, since I did realize that the fats on my body is increasing, perhaps it's time for me to start working out my body. For the sake of healthier body, I've signed up :( I feel a bit guilty for dragging Adam into the fire. So nice of him to join the gym with me, and paid for me in advanced :'(

Things which I hate about gym's strategy in order to get the customers to sign up:

1. Someone will call you up randomly and claim that you are entitled for a free one month trial = Big fat lies
You are entitled to a free one month trial IF you sign up. If you ever walk in to the gym and the first thing you tell them is you want to claim the one month trial, they will treat you like shit. So please don't bother to visit unless you plan to sign up.

2. They will attack every single thing about your body as if your world is going to end tomorrow if you don't sign up with them. They are the savior. Blerhh... True experience, they keep humiliating me and couldn't stop reminding me that I'm obese wtf.

3. The SA will explain the package to the customer and when the customer is hesitating about the price, they always always pretend that they can give some special discount because you are the last customer of the day lah.. last day of promotion lah whatever bullshit and they will cut some fees somewhere. Everyone knows that is part of their strategy loh.. Use better tactic lah.

So why do we sign up despite all the lies? It is the cheapest among all the gyms and classes which I'd enquired before. Initially there is a processing and joining fees which cost more than a thousand for two persons. Those fees are unnecessary okay. They just simply charge for no reason. What do they have to process? I frankly told them I boh lui wan lor. Save their saliva and save my time. So they waived off the fees and we only pay about RM380+ for two persons (inclusive of the first month membership plus some discount from citibank. Thank you citibank). Monthly fees come to RM165 but I will have to top up for the personal trainer. Since I'm new to gym, it's better to have a personal trainer before I start spoiling the machines or worse, hurting myself :s We managed to get my brother a free two weeks trial as well. Sign up for gym also requires bargaining nowadays. Pathetic.

I bet customers are more willing to sign up if  gyms are more honest about the services and promotions that they offer. 

Any female kaki interested to go to the gym with me? Military training starts next week *freaking out mode*

Little observation that I made yesterday while shopping at Midvalley. Almost 90% of the human that I saw especially ladies are 'obese' lor (according to what the gym claimed) -.-!!
