sup y'all

my gym membership expired the other week. The last few years i've been paying high 500's, to mid 600's and was shocked to find the price is now about $900 upfront or $1000+ direct debit!!!

And this seems to be normal! Insane...

anyways, just wondering if anyone out there can hook a fellow SAU Vic brother up with a good gym membership?

I'm bayside way, and ideally a Re-creation contact would be tops.

cheers!

you can alternatively set up your own gym at home like me for a relatively cheap price...

i can refer you to you to a factory outlet for good prices....

i liek that idea the best, but the problem that i find is that there is no motivation......plus my weights are in the garage, and my parents complain while im doing weights (crazy old people :thumbsup: )

I go to the monash gym - they bumped up the prices for affiliates to $500 this year (up from $300), but this is still cheaper than fitness first. I think for the public its around 600 maybe.

hey mate, soon ill be looking for a gym soon.....i found a place that will do $500 for 15 months in cheltenham (health link)

ill be heading down there. as for the equipment..its good, max weight for the dumbells are 50kgs

PS; its a fitness center not a gym

I use the Recreation Sandringham, its not that cheap, about $70 a month or close to it but I do have a 2month $50 pass that I can give away... :)

They also don't mind free 1month trials been given away, but don't know if I have any of them left.

i live in Sandy, not sure if Narre Warren would be the best of locations, but thanks for the tip :)

Home gym unfortunately isn't an option, the spare room we have isn't that big and i don't think would take well to weights being dropped constantly. I did think about this option though.

I use to be re-creation Trackside (ended 24th June), so can use King Club in sandy, but i was hoping something around $700-$800 direct debit.

Another vote for the home gym.

Me and my wife with memberships for 3 years - over $3k

Elliptical trainer, bike, punching back, free weights, mats - just over $1k. Excercise any time I want, with any movie/tv show/radio/music I want.

Never been fitter or stronger. :)

Where is this place you speak of?

....shoot me a PM if u dont wanna mention here :dry:

this place was one of the cheapest around when set up my home-gym 3 years ago... i spent quite a bit of money there and was able to get more discount... and he delivered to my house so i was happy with his service..

but you might wanna shop around to make sure if they are still one of the cheapest though..

Excellente!

I've been looking at other home gym units, especially the ones on ebay which look to be similar quality at a slightly cheaper price but with a few extra excercises. But on closer inspection, i noted that the ebay unit http://cgi.ebay.com.au/New-Multistation-Ho...1QQcmdZViewItem do not have an adjustable chair for performing the benchpress.

So for that lil extra im gonna go for this unit http://www.crazycheapfitness.com.au/?stg=4...w=49&shpc=3 which is similar to the one i had when i was living at home. Not as many exercises as the ebay item, but its got that critical adjustable part.....

Apologies for thread hijack :rolleyes: ....but i'd say home gym might be a better/cheaper option.

Mate I train in St Kilda at the local Police Citizen and Youth Centre. Its $25 per year and costs you $2 each time you visit. Its got everything you need and you only pay when you use it. Only really good for weights though, the cardio stuff is crap.

I previously trained at re-creation, fitness first and even the old underworld before it closed, imo just not worth the money.

    • Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣
    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.  
    • For race cars, this is one part where I find having the roll cage bar having gone through a hole in the floor better than the build it up on a ledge inside... The Merc I help on, the main hoop ends are marked on the car, and the jack is marked... Jack goes under a few inches and lifts one whole side of the car up... Removes that fight for long slim jacks for race car duties!   My biggest issue for the daily drivers I work on, is my jacks don't go high enough. The jacks start out on a few blocks, jack it up, then start a second jack under it on more blocks, and then I can get an axle stand under it. My axle stands are presently in use, and are nearly fully extended. The car is sitting with barely more than a cm of clearance to get the wheel off the studs! Sarah's Kluger is the same, as it has an ungodly amount of droop available in the suspension and a distinct lack of good jacking points!
    • Happy? Yep, my to do list is getting shorter and shorter. Either this light approaching is the end of the tunnel, or I'm about to be hit by a train... Ha ha ha   Also, Duncan isn't that far out of town that you need to make a multi day drive out of it. 😛
