Amore Fitness Membership

hi viv

haha... if i say where here... then this fri it could become a hot spot!!! if she reads this, she might just play a trick on u and come to the front instead...haha.. just watch she is either last or 2nd from last, sometimes left side sometimes right side...

aiyo... u must look around.. must be aware of surroundings hor...:D
 


Hi gals,

after reading all these posts about the irritating person.....i guess it is the same person i have encountered before and got knocked by her too....very bad experience and I stopped going to amore after my package ends...

I used to attend Bong's KB at HM on Fri....She is the one always wear all black n shorts and she is not small size.....her SB lagi worst....arms swing here n there......OMG !!!
 
Seldom have chance to attend KB on Fri..cos I only book last min, scared cos of work commitments cannot attend. and then no space already. unlike other classes

but for SB, just revolve around board..should have less likelihood of knocking into others??
 
haha.. suddenly this thread became so hot..

have not met anyone irritating during lesson. But i saw a lady during Jet's class who has very big movement too. She stood right in front while i was at the back so no clash.

I can be pretty irritating too coz i tend to giggle.. heh. couldn't help it.
 
Hi every1, i think most of you goes to heartland mall ah...noahark, i know who you are referring to. Rest assured she seems to have left amore for planet. I knew her and had no bad experience with her cos most of the time we were at different ends.

This hazardous member i'm talking about is small in size, short. So far i'm never seen her in shorts but with just gym top and long pants.

At sb, you are not likely to knock down someone but if you are like her, needed a lot of space to do a simple grapevine or round the board, yes u will be knocked! Even when she turns, she completely ignore who's nearby. She is more aggressive during hilo or cb. I mentioned her to a friend and was told she had also irritated some other members at last week's CB in bugis. Members were glaring at her. Phee! glad I'm not the only one so bias.

Hey also I'm not saying must look here and there lah and scrutinise every1... but at least be aware of the ppl around you - not just to learn the good ones from them, but to injury-proof yourself too. Once u know who you shld stay away from, you will be happier working-out.
 
Hi Ladies,

Can advise me which intro classes i should be going? Saw the brochure but didnt indicate the B2OT class? (hope i get the initial correct?)I'm gg for Yoga intro class this sat at jpt
 
hi everafter

go for 320T and 320D - kickbox basic and conditioning; steps basic respectively. Must attend steps intro before you start any step classes... to get yourself familarise with certain cue and terms use in the workout.

They have a new schedule from Aug. Got to check the new schedule if there are additional classes
 
Today i attended HILO @ Heartland. Pretty Crowded.

Until now, i'm still not used of the steps and get so confused with the turning.

It's pretty crowded and I accidentally bumped into an auntie. She told me to go one corner. So rude. She dun own the place loh...After that, I watched her and realised her movements are very big.

Think I will just stick to LO, NB & KB and only go for classes b4 peak hours..
sad.gif
 
Hi Garnet, u don't hv to feel bad and make urself go during the off-peak hrs just because of that. Remember we all pay for the membership, not only her. Just stay away from her the next time..exactly, she dun own the place, so why avoid crowded classes? Everyone starts that way - confused, i mean..u'll pick up in no time..
 
Thanks Viv for the encouragement... But smetimes I felt so stupid coz the steps are repeated but if I can't get that step right, I just can't get it right. And coz I usually stand at the back, I can't really see the instructor. Now I worry that one day, i will find ppl complaining about me being stupid during lesson.. haha.

Anyway, what class should I attend so as to know the basic terms for aerobics? Like easy ride, etc... until now I'm still confused.

Actually during the roadshow, the salesperson told me that within 3 months, it's impossible to see results... Was very tempted to sign up for another 1 year package. Now I'm reconsidering.. Not sure if other fitness clubs are better.
 
Hi Viv,

Everyone starts from scratch. If you persevere, you will def get your steps right. I was in your shoes once, then when I attended the same classes - NB, SB etc every week, in no time I can move like a pro (well almost) and it felt quite gratifying.

So just go for the classes that you enjoyed attending and in no time...
 
hehe sweetypie, not me la, it's Garnet, she's having prob coping in class..lol..

Garnet, dun worry, i couldn't get it when I first started out. Used to attend Spez's class and she was very encouraging, she even stayed back to teach us some basic steps, too bad she's not teaching anymore tho.

Keep a positive mind and keeping going for the classes weekly, lol, for me it was more difficult to see the changes in me cos I have 2 daughters so the fats were harder to beat haha..But i've come a long way from when I first started, so it's really a strong encouragement in a way..i didn't see results in 3mths too, it was abt 6-8mths down the road that i really saw changes on my body. keep at it..forget abt others, that's what i do hehe..chin up!!!!!
 
Hello garnet, there are no classes to learn basic aerobic terms unless u attending AIC, namely march; step-touch; grapevine; leg(hamstring) curl; double curl; knee lift; easy left/right; chasse; side/back lunges; squat; pony; mambo; turn(pivot turn); shutter jack; hip-roll; boxstep etc etc, moving left-right or even diagonally. Don't have to learn them, just watch and listen at aerobics class. Even if you are new, just watch and try to follow.

Its not like steps whereby you have cues like A step, V-step, around the world; shruddle etc...that's why u need to attend steps intro first before going for any steps or sb classes.

Also if you really want to see results in 3 mths, its possible but you have to be very determined - got to do alot of cardio exercise + alternating with toning... 1 good cardio workout would be kb.

The studio in HM hor very small... if the moves are wide... then sure kena one... but the aunty was very bad; u shld tell her to go to the corner instead haha... I oso got scolding there before by aunty also
sad.gif
... now i don't get scolding already bcos i always direct any1 who suddenly squeezed in to any other areas...haha

Anyway, don't worry too much for being slow.. every1 started off that way, me too as i was never into aerobics (i was more into trekking, climbing kind of sports). you shld be able to move with the rest within a month if u do it consistently... practice at home lah. Alternatively, u can ask the regulars to show you some of the basic steps.
 
thanks all of you for the encouragement.. Told my friend who is also a member of Amore and she told me to try keep to one or two lessons instead of going to different one every time. Actually i just wanna try out the different classes since it's my first time.

Tks to naoki.. wow, u surely know alot of their terms!
 
hi sharon, gwen she is more suitable for yoga...
and hi to garnet, cl is definitely fun.. but i find it very routine nowadays...

btw ladies, if u were looking out for that particular member, she wasn't in her usual spot at HM and PM and she wasn't at CB at bugis too... haha...too bad... u cldn't feel the 'pressure'
happy.gif
 
Oh Naoki, I did spot a lady with short brown hair, in white gym top and black sweat pants standing by the window at HM. Was it HER? She stripped down to her white bra-top during SB class..her movements were quite big.

I was so 'busy' last fri, i think i kept looking around like a blardy owl..
 
hehe..came out halfway during kb cos felt faint, then spent the time talking to the counter staff, and found out tt girl is taking AIC, so agar agar thot might be her. Kept eyeing her during sb, and yes, movements v b-i-g..lool
 
ahaha....its bigger at cb
happy.gif
... usually i avoid standing near her or else i gather a few members i know and shut her out instead...which was what we did last sat .... with my own ppl around, its easier to work out as we can help each other with the space we require, keeping safety and enjoyment in mind... only can go from left mirror to right window for a big grapevine if there are fewer members around unlike her - every steps she takes is exaggerated !

vee, u not bad good ah... can agar so well... she is ok doing kb ah...some more can go and describe and query at counter... the girls must be wondering why the sudden interest... haha

how come u feel so weak? once a month thing? better take some energy drink or glucose before workout... ok?
 
ya, the girls asked me why the interest lol, i said she's a friend of a friend haha...

no lah, that day joined my daughter's class' neighbourhood walk fr 3-5pm, so damn blardy hot n tired, then straight home to cook, then straight to class, can die mann...went home after that peng-sang..hehe..

Thanks for the concern, naoki, oh yeah, n j nice, the once a month thingy too, all at the same time..

ok, kaypoh mode on again - - - - who's Mr Bong's gf ah? I hv been tryin to find out but stil no clue!!!!!!?!!!!!!
 
haha... so kaypoh... but i like haha

bong's married with no kids. previously yes got gf who has also obtained AIC - she attends all his classes viz CB, BB, hilo, NB, KS... no kb, sb only. heard she likes mathew's class too... but recently hor... my friend said like no more together... so i also not so sure... also got member told me he was seen with this shortie member also...

i haven't kaypoh on this rumour yet lah... if i got juicy news next time, then i 'secretly' tell u here ok?
 
hahaha... why lemon you never heard b4 ah? many local men also like this one...

It is true they came to workout together but 1 would go in first while the other will wait for a few mins before popping in, even rasol knew she went to fetch him to and fro from home to amore etc, came to sb so that can send him home from HM you know... oops....

i think i very bad... gossiping so much
 
haha... but lemon... maybe not on liao leh... maybe this new shorty is the latest one... yet tbc :D

do u also go HM? on friday too?

i most of the time there sometimes go PM on friday with my friends... occasionally on my own lah esp when it is not bong.
 
wow, attends all his classes, no need to work???!!??

Ok, back to same qn..which one?lololol..think i better change my nick..
 
donoleh.. but i really envy them - no need to work hor...

why must change nick? we won't know who is veevee even when we are in the same room...haha

u going tmr right? she's most of the time stands in front, and very very dancy one... music start she also starts type... she is a ballet dancer so u will see that she can do cb very very well.
 
i seldom go HM on fri, only once in a while.. haha, think we all more or less know who is this gf liao! btw, how old is Bong actually? he looks quite young huh?
 
veevee, i think i know who you are cos of you mentioned that you left KB halfway..
happy.gif
as I also went for Friday's class.

But wasn't so eagle eyed...to spot the lady you all talking about..
 
ok..this shortie person who goes to tmr morning's class, always likes to wear hairbands and dangling earrings in class, right? Too sweet for me lol.. Stands in the centre right behind Bong? So she's the current one or the ex one?

Natdd, i think u guessed right if it's her..lol

Belladona, siao liao, i wanna remain anonymous, u know, keke, come up to me next time n intro urself, k?
 
hey girls,

are the exercises doing any effect? I have worked out for almost a month but seem not much changes for my weight. In fact, I seem to get bigger instead. My FH said coz I eat like a pig after workout.. which is true.. I tend to eat more coz very hungry.
sad.gif
 
hi veevee, think we guess right. But i dun find her short leh..and according to naoki, she's the current one :p

hi garnet, same for me, i didnt slim down too! think hv to go for more classes, think KB might help cos it's more strenuous than CB or hi/lo. Sigh...maybe gotta go for classes everyday.
 
hihi,,, this sweet young lady is not short, yes she wears dangling earrings and hairband and has pierced her belly button. She could be still on with him; if not then she was the past. She doesnt come down to HM on friday very often - as she hardly kb. but she was seen waiting in the car or loitering within HM, for obvious reasons. Its nice to watch her as she can do her cb and hilo very nicely. I only wonder why must doll up for a workout esp dangling earrings...if drop it will be destroyed by the all the hopping feet.

The shortie is the one with the bigger moves, also in AIC but her moves are not as graceful or well accepted. She is the one I'm not happy with esp when she is so inconsiderate and forces me to make my grapevine small...

hi garnet, some ppl find that their breast become smaller, but I thot mine has grown slightly. Also when u workout, u tend to eat more. So unless your diet remains the same then there is no way ur weight will drop. Skipping meals will not change it either. What i suggest is to take a bit of food (very light one) or glucose drink before workout, this will give u energy for workout. If u dont, u are encouraging your muscle to burn and not fats. You want to loose fats not muscle right?

After class, always remember the 4 hour rule - your food need so much time to fully digest - so not advisable to eat like a pig, u can eat but moderately; if u have to eat alot, then your food has got to be healthy. it is not easy but with discipline, it can be done.

Also to speed it up a bit, do slightly more cardio exercises, alternating with stretch, yoga classes or resistance training to tone up the muscles if you have not lose them.

hi lemon, your question, bong is 33 or 34 this year. Still young ...
 
veevee...hee will do..if can still recognise ..

for me..I did lose weight after joining amore..after not very substantial and has plateaued..cos I think the main reason is I did not cut down on food intake (amount of food the same)..but many of my friends has commented that I had slimmed down..
 


Ah..ic, haiz...that lady looks v young, dun understand y the need to be involved with a married man in the 1st place..anyway, to each his own, thoughts, i mean..

As for weight-loss, i used to eat like a horse right after class, but i forced myself to half my intake of carbo, i managed to slim down faster that way. I didn't and still haven't given up my favorite food, KFC lol..

I hit a plateau too after about a period of slimming down, weight stayed the same but i started to tone up, so in a way, i think, weight isn't everything..
