Fitness Centre - LeanBodies Fitness Centre, Solaris Dutamas

Reason for me to join this fitness centre is my desperate attempt to lose my excess weight prior to Chinese New Year, I joined a new neighbourhood fitness centre called LeanBodies, located at Block A, Solaris Dutamas. It's just 5 mins walk from my office, which is located in Block D. When I entered the centre, it was really small and quite limited room to walk about. It's by far the smallest fitness centre I have ever come across and worked out in, therefore I do not put high expectation on this place, but to just achieve my goal that is to drop from size M to size S *Gambatei :P*, so I just signed up. It's a non-contractual membership so I can come and go anytime I want, which is just what I needed (I hate to be tied down with contracts and other bulls**ts). I only planned to work out until after Chinese New Year is over and I signed up due to convenience sake (I know, even if I worked out everyday for 2 months will prove futile to drop from size M to size S, but I'm not giving up *Gambatei*). And this centre opens 24/7, except for the administration staff, they only start work at 10am. So upon signing up, they will help you to input your thumbprint so that upon entering the gym, you have to verify your thumbprint on the thumbprint scanner. You won't be able to enter the centre if the scanner failed to read your thumbprint. Therefore the alternative is, they will give you a member's code ID, then you can key in the code on the keypad located below the thumbprint scanner.
Did I mentioned the centre is small? Actually in just one glance you can see the 'whole' centre by just standing at the doorway, therefore I was quite appalled to see how tiny the changing room is. There's 20 (I think) lockers (they provide the keys, but the hook of the keys seems to go missing, which is kinda annoying), 1 wash basin, 1 cubicle for toilet and 1 cubicle for shower. The locker area can only fit 2-3 people, because of the tight walkway. Just imagine, if your locker is located inside the room, and if a person open the locker door 1 locker away from yours, regardless whether your locker is located opposite or beside that person, you have to wait for the person to close the door before you can reach your locker because you have no room to walk through. And the toilet cubicle is the smallest and constricted toilet that if you are not careful, you will bumped your head onto the door when you bend over. I cannot imagine how a big person (no pun intended) can even do their business in there 'cos hell, I'm having problems moving about. You surely have difficulty turning around and you can totally forget about stretching your legs in this cubicle.
OK, enough of the changing room. Let's move on to the main area. There is 1 studio for dance and yoga. The studio can fit about 10-15 people and there's no dance platform. There is 5 treadmills (1 always not functioning), 1 elliptical cross trainer, 1 recumbent bike and 1 stationary bicycle; 1 dumbbell racks with dumbbells of different weights and sizes, 2 benches, fitness balls, yoga mats and 2 weight-training equipment.
The centre will be crowded almost to the extend that you have no place to move about, especially during weekdays, after working hours, i.e. 5pm onwards. During weekends, it's a breeze; you can literally 'conquer' the whole gym all by yourself. The cardio machines are limited to 20 minutes usage, but 1 out of 10 members will heed that advice.
One thing I dislike about this centre is the changing room. I always felt that the changing room is the most private rooms, especially for females. But sadly, some women they just don't care and this really dishearten me. A few times, as I was changing clothes in front of my locker (sometimes the shower room is occupied), the women who entered or leave the changing room, 4 out of 10 times, they will leave the door ajar and the people (especially men, because in front of the changing room is the weight-training area) will be working out there, and it will be like a free strip show). Even though there's a curtain, strategically placed in front of the door (so-called to ensure 'privacy'), when the door was open, naturally the curtain will flew back until the door is closed back. At first, I thought women are considerate with other women who's changing, but, sadly, that doesn't happen here. As long as it's not them who's changing, they don't seem to give a damn if other men can see the women inside the locker. Sometimes, the trainer or instructors also did that. It's like once they're out of the locker room, that's it. They never thought of ensuring the door is close back or whether there's people half-naked or not in the locker area. Inconsiderate, but that is the reality of life.
I'll be leaving this centre right after Chinese New Year. This is not much of a good experience for me, really. But do join if you are OK with the following:

• Desperate to work out to lose weight or tone up or simply to de-stress
• Convenient. Near office or planning to work out in the wee hour in the morning or late at night
• Do not want to be bind by contract. Can come and go as you please
• Price - (Per month) Individual: RM98. Students: 85. Groups (Family and Friends): RM90 per person

This is strictly my own personal reviews. Don't let my personal judgement cloud your mind and decision making. Since this is non-contractual, you can give it a shot for a month. Cheers!!
