Jiu-Jitsu Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 But this is not a Tony's thread. So how his lifetime membership fee came into a query about use of a gym for less than a month is hard to fathom. As for me training in the UK, that is even more vacuous. I would consider a long term membership if the gyms were anything less than makeshift. Having experience of using his gyms before..... no thank you. Started off ok and went to crap. Give it a break and stop trying to turn this into a flame thread... again.. This is a thread about cheap gym recommendations. Tony's has cheap gyms all over Pattaya. If you weren't living in England you may have a clue about the gym situation in Pattaya. Apart from 2 cheap gyms I mentioned in a post above, he owns all the others... and he's opening up more cheap gyms by the month. Cheap gym recommendation for memberships of less than a month. Seems that all of that training is doing little for your intelligence. You just appear like a man obsessed. You haven't quoted a monthly price for any gym at all. You just appear obsessed with banging on about Tony's Gym and his 'lifetime' membership fee, whether people are interested or not. It would haven't been as bad if you had a least quoted a monthly figure for the OP. Instead you start banging on about 'lifetime' and 'monopoly'..... come on. Give it a rest. Why not keep it to the relevant thread, instead of spreading it all over like a virus? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KelCastro Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Tony’s & Universe are probably the cheapest so you can go off of location & environment to base your decision. There’s another tiny gym behind Big C Sukhumvit. It’s pretty small and has the most basic equipment, but I remember it being dirt cheap, like 20baht or 30baht a visit. Don’t remember what the weekly or monthly fee was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robblok Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Bike riders are another breed entirely, that's for sure... Do you have skinny, shaven legs and wear bright lycra pants and spend all day discussing your frame and gears? Mark Rippetoe (a renowned strength coach) had some funny comments to make about cyclists.... "most cyclists are not athletes......." Watch this short video to hear his full comment. Note he said "most cyclists"... perhaps you are an athlete, but judging by your comments on this thread that's highly unlikely. I doubt if that dodgy video would support anyones argument - roadies are not athletes ? And why is he wielding what looks like a machete in the gym ? He is a great strength coach and knows what he is doing, wrote some great books and i still love the guy for his advice on squat and dead-lifts He does have some controversial idea's. I doubt Tropo would like his idea's on body-builders. He is quite famous trained good athletes. Oh about the machete, i believe back there its used to motivate roadies to do some strength training.. . I think Tropo just got fed up by some tourists telling people about a place they don't spend much time in. Heck i don't even live in Pattaya but i think im more often there then those guys. So he pisses them off with some clip, anyway I for one found the lifetime membership idea interesting because if i train somewhere id like to know how crowded it is. Seems a normal consideration when training somewhere, valid information. Also Tropo his remark about big guys is quite valid those guys do something right, it can't be all steroids Anyone who ever used the stuff knows they only help if other factors are there too. Like a good diet and solid training, else you loose those gains quite quickly. I would not consider Tropo bulked up, he is big and lean and as far as i know is not a supporter of bulking up. Neither am I i like to stay lean and if possible big, just big isn't fun. There are so many people in gyms who don't know what they are doing its amazing. The guys with the big bodies do at least some parts good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And why is he wielding what looks like a machete in the gym ? You've got to understand the context of his comments. Let me explain. In the video Mark Rippetoe was paying respect to Chris Ronan, a competitive cyclist from Texas who used to train on that rack in that gym (Rippetoe's gym). He used to do a lot of squats and was very strong on them so Rippetoe named the rack after him. It was mentioned that he could squat 315 lbs x 20 reps (unconfirmed). In that context, what Rippetoe said about cyclists was very funny. Edited January 19, 2013 by tropo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A monthly deal cannot be compared to a yearly deal divided by 12. Universe is only 800 per month and 4000 per year. Divided by 12 that's only 333 per month.
