Lean Mass Body Fitness Gym

I've been working out here for about six months due to work. It feels like a long-established gym that's been operating locally for a long time. The simple, unpretentious space is quiet and conducive to quiet workouts. Regarding the equipment: There's a good selection of machines and free weights, and I've seen them update the equipment over the past six months. There are more than ten different machines for each muscle group, with the free weight area making up more than half. However, there are relatively few treadmills and stationary bikes, as well as Smith machines. One minor drawback is that the weight markings on some of the older machines are not very clear. You need to bring your own water; the gym doesn't provide it. Air conditioning isn't always on, but they're not skimpy on it; at least I didn't get too hot. The restrooms are clean and have plenty of toilet paper. There are restrooms, but I haven't used them myself. As for the atmosphere: It's usually mostly regular customers working out. Men and women are separated, and I rarely see people of the opposite sex on the same floor. I mainly work out between 3 and 7 pm, and I've never had to wait for equipment because it's too crowded. Unless I misuse the equipment, I've never been bothered by staff or instructors offering their services. There's a golden dachshund in the gym; you can pet it if it's in a good mood. Regarding the price: $1100 per month. $6,000 in six months, I don't remember anything more.

There's a lot of repetitive equipment, which is awesome! My favorites are the back-stretching machines and the detonator-style machines; they fully stretch my back muscles, and the leg press angle is also very noticeable. There's a lot of free weights. The only downsides are the lack of a water dispenser and the absence of hexagonal bars, but these don't hinder the workout.

Although there's no air conditioning, you won't be disturbed, unlike some gyms where trainers constantly try to sell you things, which I think is the best part. Most gyms require a monthly subscription to use the equipment, but here you can pay per session to become a member. Only members get instruction from trainers on the equipment; if you buy a single session for 150 yuan, there will be no instruction. This is a women-only area.

The equipment is a bit old compared to larger chain gyms, but it's sufficient. There are separate areas for women and men, which allowed me, as a woman, to focus more on my workout. The environment is very clean, and the staff are quite friendly. There was a minor mishap (when I asked if there were showers, they said they weren't open yet, even though they are), but it didn't seem intentional; it was just a bit of a blunder. There were no water dispensers, so you have to bring your own water. There are lockers with keys.

Unfriendly to newcomers, condoning competitors' yelling at others. I recently went to the gym and someone asked to use a mirror. Since the area was almost empty, I asked him to use an empty spot next to me. He then inexplicably yelled at me. When a staff member came over, they didn't even ask what happened and just stood on the other person's side, seemingly very familiar with them. Is this how a gym should be run?! Later, I found out he was wearing headphones and misheard me, or I noticed he was wearing headphones! I strongly advise against newcomers going to this gym. Encountering a crazy person and being yelled at, with staff members joining in, is risky. There are many other gyms nearby; it's not worth the risk of going to this one. Who knows what this crazy person might do next?
