I am back again to Physical ABuse at Cq ! This
is my second time coming here. The first time coming here is for classes from
Community Games and this is my second time coming Physical ABuse. Once again I
want to thank FTW [fit to win] for this great opportunity for me to try out
different classes at different gym.

Do check out their gym @ 2 Havelock Road, 059763! Take a train down to Clarke quay MRT station, tap out walk to your right side, walk up the escalator and exist the MRT. Step out turn right and you got to cross over to another side which is forever living building. After crossing the road, reach forever living you got to walk straight to this write building and walk in and you will see Physical ABuse!
First of all I would like to say that I did
not take the front entrance picture because every time there will be people
sitting down there and I am too shy to take picture of it. Despite going there
for so many times, I still did not take pictures. I just took those picture
which I can take without anyone looking at.
For that first timer like me, they will pass
you a big towel, small towel and also a locker keys. Other than all this things,
they will weigh you too. There will be an instructor weighing you and telling
you about your weigh like fats content and so on. I think is always so scary to
hear the truth especially the weight part! I gain 8kg from Taiwan trip, and is
very depressed when i hear people telling me that I have gain weight and I look
very round. I mean is ok to say is few times but after hearing so many times I tend
to feel unhappy. In order not to have this feeling , I shall workout more to
get back to shape : )
Here are the pictures of their toilet
facilities. I think in a gym, other than their equipment I think their toilet
is very important. If is very dirty, smelly and unorganized I think no one will
want to come. Trust me their toilet is really big and nice, is somehow the same
size as their gym area. They have huge mirror for ladies to check their attire
before leaving the toilet, have lockers for us to keep our stuffs and most
important thing is a mirror for the ladies to dry their hair and put their make
up as there are some office ladies who come and work out during their break
time. Totally in love with what they have!
This is their bathing & toilet area! In
the bathing room, they do provide shampoo and soap. You don’t need to bring
yours, but for me I bring my own because I don’t really like to use other
brands that I have not try before. If you are alright with anything then you
can just bring your own clothing will do. The interior design of the bathing
room is just black colour which I really like a lot, don’t ask me why because I
also don’t know why I like. Their toilet and bathing room is always so clean,
sometime you just want to stay inside and never want to leave!
Took a quick photo of myself before class at
Physical ABuse.
I am still working on it to get a tonne body : )
Sorry didn’t take much picture because during
the lesson, I want to be 100% paying attention and doing the right thing.
Therefore I will write down in words sharing the experience I have in Physical
ABuse.
This is the picture of the class. I didn't manage
to take a lot of picture in order not to interrupt the class.
I have attended Shape up, Pilates, Bokwa,
Stretch Training Chest and PNF Stretching
@ Physical ABuse.
Let’s talk about SHAPE UP class. This is my
first time attending SHAPE UP CLASS as previous I only attended kick boxing
class about 5 years ago. But what I read about SHAPE UP class is that they use Barbell.
To be honest I am looking forward to the class as I want to burn fats and start
shape up to have a nicer body!
The class quite dead in terms of people. I think
is caused by unfamiliar faces but nevertheless the teacher or coach is still
very hyper to encourage people voice out. He will show us what moves to do
before he goes around checking and I think is good because there is high
possibility that people will do wrongly and injure themselves. Other than
these, something I would like to praise the instructor is actually Risk
management. He tells everyone the risk and when he spots someone with improper attire,
he told her there is a risk that she might get
injured. After knowing she still want to carry on, I would not say she can't
continue but at least she know the risk and during the workout she will be
extra careful.
The work out was really good, it burns my fats
and all my core muscle is screaming for help & I really sweat a lot which
is awesome! After the class I told myself I am going to join their classes
again!
My second class that I went is Pilates.
From the website I read that Pilates is more of
training your core muscle, lengthening your spine and lifting your butt. I
could say that this is not easy as what I think man, you got to really know
your body parts well, like example squeeze in your core muscle when you do a
certain position and if you are first timer like me it takes time to feel where
is it. But don’t worry; you will feel it as the instructor will teach you how. Throughout
the whole lesson, my focus is always on the instructor because I want to do the
particular moves in a right position and making my muscle scream! This is
another lesson that I enjoy and if you want a stronger core muscle and tonner
body you might want to join Pilates.
Bokwa is my third class I went in Physical
ABuse. I find the write up for this class is very interesting therefore I went
to sign up to actually try out. Exercising by drawing letters and numbers with
their feet while performing and is also a cardio workout routine. I was like WOW,
I have never seen it before. Was really looking forward to the class and during
the class, using feet or cardio steps to draw letters is really fun and you
tend to sweat a lot. During the process, you don’t feel like is an exercise but
is something you enjoy and at the same time you are burning your fats and toning
your muscle. This is the best class I ever attended and hopefully I can be back
real soon because Bokwa is always fully booked!
After so many classes, I wanted to try
something new and I went to sign up for Stretch
Training Chest. I did not know is actually group training until the personal
trainer told me that. But on the schedule itself, I am the only one signing up
and he is curious why I want to train my chest as it is unusual for ladies
wanting to train chest and I was like I want to try out and something in gym I do
train chest and if I have an opportunity to know more workout of training
chest, why not? I could say I love it what he ask me to do, is like he will
check your position and correct you and also explaining to you why you should
do this and not that. He also talks to me about the balance from back muscle
and front muscle! And at the same time he also mention that I got to train
lower body too and not just focus on upper body; x I am not typing the exact
words he say, is what I can remember !

sign up for 3 personal training with him and he will guide me through what
machine I should use for amount and to be honest, I am not a person who like
this idea because I usually learn from my friends who is personal trainer and I
do not have much time when I start to work soon!
Another class I attended is PNF stretching is actually a
partner stretch. I can say it was good and fun. Stretching your leg, massage
your back with a thing I don’t know what does it call, or maybe name it as a
roller. I roll it on my back and trust me is aching and feeling shiok at the
same time! It was a short session but it feels good after that.
Overall, my experience with Physcial ABuse is
really good! I love the workout instructor there; they are really friendly and
nice! The ambience is also comfortable and they do provide lot of different
interesting classes that you can’t get outside. If you are interested you can
