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.

i went to the gym with a few mates in fiji and we went to the Fiji National Rugby training camp.....those guys can push some mad weights.....makes you feel like you are lifting twigs

    • This. As for your options - I suggest remote mounting the Nissan sensor further away on a length of steel tube. That tube to have a loop in it to handle vibration, etc etc. You will need to either put a tee and a bleed fitting near the sensor, or crack the fitting at the sensor to bleed it full of oil when you first set it up, otherwise you won't get the line filled. But this is a small problem. Just needs enough access to get it done.
    • The time is always correct. Only the date is wrong. It currently thinks it is January 19. Tomorrow it will say it is January 20. The date and time are ( should be ! ) retrieved from the GPS navigation system.
    • Buy yourself a set of easy outs. See if they will get a good bite in and unthread it.   Very very lucky the whole sender didn't let go while on the track and cost you a motor!
    • Well GTSBoy, prepare yourself further. I did a track day with 1/2 a day prep on Friday, inpromptu. The good news is that I got home, and didn't drive the car into a wall. Everything seemed mostly okay. The car was even a little faster than it was last time. I also got to get some good datalog data too. I also noticed a tiny bit of knock which was (luckily?) recorded. All I know is the knock sensors got recalibrated.... and are notorious for false knock. So I don't know if they are too sensitive, not sensitive enough... or some other third option. But I reduced timing anyway. It wasn't every pull through the session either. Think along the lines of -1 degree of timing for say, three instances while at the top of 4th in a 20 minute all-hot-lap session. Unfortunately at the end of session 2... I noticed a little oil. I borrowed some jack stands and a jack and took a look under there, but as is often the case, messing around with it kinda half cleaned it up, it was not conclusive where it was coming from. I decided to give it another go and see how it was. The amount of oil was maybe one/two small drops. I did another 20 minute session and car went well, and I was just starting to get into it and not be terrified of driving on track. I pulled over and checked in the pits and saw this: This is where I called it, packed up and went home as I live ~20 min from the track with a VERY VERY CLOSE EYE on Oil Pressure on the way home. The volume wasn't much but you never know. I checked it today when I had my own space/tools/time to find out what was going on, wanted to clean it up, run the car and see if any of the fittings from around the oil filter were causing it. I have like.. 5 fittings there, so I suspected one was (hopefully?) the culprit. It became immediately apparent as soon as I looked around more closely. 795d266d-a034-4b8c-89c9-d83860f5d00a.mp4       This is the R34 GTT oil sender connected via an adapter to an oil cooler block I have installed which runs AN lines to my cooler (and back). There's also an oil temp sensor on top.  Just after that video, I attempted to unthread the sensor to see if it's loose/worn and it disintegrated in my hand. So yes. I am glad I noticed that oil because it would appear that complete and utter catastrophic engine failure was about 1 second of engine runtime away. I did try to drill the fitting out, and only succeeded in drilling the middle hole much larger and now there's a... smooth hole in there with what looks like a damn sleeve still incredibly tight in there. Not really sure how to proceed from here. My options: 1) Find someone who can remove the stuck fitting, and use a steel adapter so it won't fatigue? (Female BSPT for the R34 sender to 1/8NPT male - HARD to find). IF it isn't possible to remove - Buy a new block ($320) and have someone tap a new 1/8NPT in the top of it ($????) and hope the steel adapter works better. 2) Buy a new block and give up on the OEM pressure sender for the dash entirely, and use the supplied 1/8 NPT for the oil temp sender. Having the oil pressure read 0 in the dash with the warning lamp will give me a lot of anxiety driving around. I do have the actual GM sensor/sender working, but it needs OBD2 as a gauge. If I'm datalogging I don't actually have a readout of what the gauge is currently displaying. 3) Other? Find a new location for the OEM sender? Though I don't know of anywhere that will work. I also don't know if a steel adapter is actually functionally smart here. It's clearly leveraged itself through vibration of the motor and snapped in half. This doesn't seem like a setup a smart person would replicate given the weight of the OEM sender. Still pretty happy being lucky for once and seeing this at the absolute last moment before bye bye motor in a big way, even if an adapter is apparently 6 weeks+ delivery and I have no way to free the current stuck/potentially destroyed threads in the current oil block.
