Does anyone train at the Fitness First Gym in the City (preferably) or even Marion?

My partner I train with has just finished his membership and he won’t be signing up again kind of leaving me in quite the pickle...

Anyone want a workout partner?

Wish I could fit in gym membership, but I just use my home gym regularly.

Monday - karate

Tuesday - running the lad around to scouts etc, a bit of home gym

Wednesday - work (consulting appointments) then home gym

Thursday - karate

Friday - a bit of home gym then out riding/cruising

I just don't have a set time to allocate to gym membership ... even tho I love working out at the gym.

:P

i only just finished my membership with FF a couple of months ago, used to train in the city every Mon-Thurs 11am (which was considered my lunch break). Was always nice and quiet in there, used to just miss the lunchtime peak hour. Much better gym than the other suburban FF that i used to visit - can't say too much, a moderator on here gave me a warning for slagging it off in another thread, lol

Have since joined with another gym near home. And i've slacked off bigtime :P

yeah I was really regular for most of 2009 but towards the end we picked up some heavy projects and i ended up dropping going before work & leaving work ended up being after 7pm & sometimes 8pm so didn't even think about it, I was to shattered.... ended up cancelling my membership and stacking on a few k's esshhh....

so really keen to get back into it now, i had been going with a mate but now seen as though his contract has finished up its just me.

For me it’s been heaps harder to get really pumped into it without someone else there motivating and pushing to go harder.

Between work, after-hours consultation appointments, TAFE on Tues and Thu nights, I too slacked off for a while. It is certainly hard to get back into it, especially when your lifestyle dictates any time that you have free. Most of my gym work now is in between ads on TV. I get up from the lounge and get on my home gym for a few reps ... and repeat every ad break.

I don't have TAFE now, so I was able to pick up more training time after work.

:P

im too stingey for a gym :rofl:

i can run outside for free and weights dont cost that much. but with the amount of $ basketball costs me its prob not much cheaper in the end.

Don't accountants cringe at the sight of muscles? :P

that too, thats why i collect stamps and dont engage in dangerous activity.

seriously though the few times ive been to the gym there have been a couple of things that have freaked me out,

people screaming loud tennis style erggghhhhh as they do there lifting. everyone generally makes a bit of noise when there exercising but wtf i dont need to hear that sh&t in the foyer.

and the people that stare at themselves in the mirror for 20min flexing after exercise

maybe its just cause i dont hit the steriods i dont understand these things.

Tradies sorta gym $200 special, 6months. no join up. pretty cheap. Not flash tho.

Theres another new one opened up that's 247, they have some real cheap prices too. $300 a year I think it was ?

You take Creatine ?

lol, not everyone in there is on the roids Dan. People that are staring at themselves in the mirror are probably just resting between sets - After you've finished a set and put down a stack of weights, blood and adrenaline is pumping - i sit and stare into space/mirror/whatever to calm down a little before the next set.

Although you'll always spot the wanker/s in any gym, the guys who give other people shit.

247 gym Craig: www.jetts.com.au

Thats the one, Cheers.

Heard good things about them places.

Edit. might not be that one. There was a new one opening, real cheap prices.

Not sure on the name tho.

    • Cheers. Skyline is back on the menu, can’t get rid of it. It’s like a child you don’t want, or herpes 
    • I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.  
    • Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days
    • It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
