to add to the list - there was orange peel in one of the shower rooms. is eat-and-shower the next 'in' thing?

Agreed. Mornings is the way to go. You dont see anything you dont want to see, and its peaceful and I don't get pissed off.

When I was going to GYM here I just hated to lift weights when they played chinese pop music..So I made my own CD full of Speed Metal and started playing that disc everytime I went to gym. It was pleasure to see the faces of chinese people after good old renegade.

How can someone listen those chinese songs for pussies when doing heavy training????

Okay this is frikkin hilarious.. I actually just joined just because I wanted to comment on this thread Very Happy

I just got to Shanghai and am here for the first time. staying for a year so i was planning on getting fit again... I am currently looking for a gym but all of this sounds just so bad! I think I will have to use the gym Fudan provides and just use the machines then return to take a shower in my apartment lol..

Any of you guys can actually recommend a gym? I heard MegaFit was good but thats it.. There really should be a list with gym's to avoid hehe.. I'd be willing to pay quite a good bit..6000rmb and more if needed lol .. oh and i know this isnt the right thread but do sport shops here sell western whey protein brands and shakers?

i've had experienced at star gym and total fitness. star is cheaper but more runned down. if they are close to where u live, u may want to check both out and then make a decision.

there's really no need to spend that much on a gym.

Depending on the quality and the "image"...

3,000-8,000rmb per year.

Average is about 5,000rmb
