Are there any chicks in here that are members of this health club? I'm looking for someone to go to the bellydance class with me on Tuesday nights around 9:30. I went last week, and it was really fun, but I was the only foreigner and it would be so much more fun if someone else went with me. Any takers?

sounds like fun, but it's a little late in the evening and the prices make me go WOW

i'm sure you'll find someone

Oh, honey. The prices are worth it. I love this place. They have some great classes with great teachers, excellent equipment that even a dumbass like me can use effectively.

The bellydance class is back?! It was off the schedule when my membership expired in march. Now that it is back on, they might have some hope of getting me back in. Though the prices are outrageous...though I find that the way with most gyms here. I went to a tiny little Kafa place, that's not on my way home, it was in the basement, it was small with few machines, and they wanted almost as much as California Fitness.

I miss bellydancing! Though, there's only so much you can learn in a fitness class.

How much are memberships at California Fitness? They've opened one up in Myeong-dong (I am sure they'll find lots of suckers there to part with their parent's money). I think gym memberships are a total rip off in this country - especially when you take in account people's salaries and the general costs of living. Buy yourself a pair of decent shoes and find a place to jog. Unless you're a professional athlete, you can live without the fancy machines.

Thanks asshole. If you don't have an answer to the question, then don't fucking post. God dammit, this is the last time I post anything on this fucking site.

60,000/month is not unreasonable.

If you're dedicated and hit the gym at least 3 times a week, it's well worth the money. Jogging and running burn calories during exercise and are good for your health, but I prefer to build lean muscle that burns fat for me around the clock by maintaining a heavy lifting routine.

I play full-court basketball twice a week for heavy cardio on top of 30-40 minute warm-up runs twice a week in the gym.

Now if I could only quick drinking...

How much is it these days at California WOW?

I paid 1.3 for 2 years or 55k/month well worth it since I can use it in the states, Hong Kong and Bangkok.

Only beef I have with them is the myeongdong club is too small, wish I could go back to Apu but its too far from me now

[coffeeman]

I'd never join a gym called California Fitness. The name itself just screams pretentiousness. I can just see all these people posing on the machines while wearing the latest $200 workout wear, reading fashion magazines on the stairmaster machines not drinking shakes, but low fat strawberry smoothies. Oh please, get me outta here!

Its true California Fitness is expensive and annoying since you have to pay all up front. But you can negotiate! They even let me pay in a couple of installments.
For me California Fitness is worth it because I do Bikram Yoga. And even in the States a membership to Birkram yoga only is more than what I'm paying here at Cali WOW. Plus at Cali I have duel membership so I can take any classes and use the gym. Also the shower rooms are amazing. Love to have access to sauna and jacuzzi. Well worth it in my opinion.
They even have a women�s only work out floor for those who don't want to sweat it up and pump iron in front of men.
