How old to lift weight in Bally fitness gym??

December 26, 2009 - 4:11 am 1 Comment

i’m actually 13 but turning 14 in one week. I was wondering how old do we need to be inorder to lift weight in Bally? Do they care if i’m one week away from 14? Yup so this is my question. I live in MA and i check out there site, they say that inorder to be a member you must be 14 but i don’t want to be a member, i’m a guest that goes to Bally like once in a week or something. Yup so how old do you need to be inorder to be in the weight section?

Since you’re too young to have an ID, just go in there with someone who will vouch for you being fourteen. I doubt that they really care, as long as you’re with a member.

If one smashes a volley with his racquet extending across,but not touching the net,is it counted against him?

This was a point for heated debate in my club recently.I should like to hear more about this from this forum.

It depends on where the contact between the ball and the racket was made. A person hitting the ball before the net and then following through with their racket over the net without hitting it is considered a legal move. However, if a person reaches over the net and the contact is past the net then the other person can call it against them.

can any one give the address of good fitness centers in srilanka?

Between the JJB and Fitness First fitness clubs/gyms, which would you recommend to me?

Depends what you look like, and what you are looking for.
If you want a gym full of posers go to Fitness First.
If on the other hand you are an average person of average weight, just going to the gym to get fit, I think JJB is better, which is why I joined. No-one looks down on you there, and everyone is friendlier.

What are some fun sports or athletic things that a complete beginner could try?

I have zero athletic experience, but Im interested in becoming a more active person in general. What are some good ideas and how does a beginner go about it?

Start by learning a little something about each sport that will help you decide which one is right for you. I suggest starting off with golf lessons, beginners that have never played are preferred by golf teachers.

What are the tipping expectations at the 24 hour fitness kids club?

December 26, 2009 - 4:10 am 3 Comments

I like using the 24 hour fitness kids club, but the cost really adds up if you use it a few times a week. I’d especially like to hear from someone that works there.

Why would you tip them? You pay for the service, correct? Do you tip babysitters you use along with their pay? No, and that’s what the child care there is.

Would you ever bring cupcakes to the health club to share with other members?

Has the thought even crossed your mind??

It seems to happen quite often at my gym. For some reason. Seems a little odd.

Isn’t that like Policeman taking a salad to share with his buddies?
It’s tangibly oxymoronic.
Can i get a little sugar?
