THE BREEDING GROUND OF CHAMPIONS

The strongest Squat in the Philippines ever by a woman! 222.5kg/490 pounds!

The strongest Bench Press in the Philippines ever by a woman! 120kg/264 pounds! Done easily without a bench shirt

The strongest Deadlift in the Philippines ever by a woman! 215kg/474 pounds!

The strongest Powerlifting Total in the Philippines ever by a woman! 522.5kg/1,151 pounds!

The strongest Squat in the Philippines ever by a man! 335kg/738 pounds!

The strongest Bench Press in the Philippines ever by a man! 215kg/474 pounds!

The strongest Deadlift in the Philippines ever by a man! 325kg/716 pounds!

The strongest Powerlifting Total in the Philippines ever by a man! 820kg/1,807 pounds!



That’s a sweep of ALL Powerlifting events by both men and women!


His Lie: In an interview posted on the internet, he claimed he is “the strongest man in the Philippines” and said: “I can lift weights that the heavyweights can’t do”. (Hah!)

The Truth: There are at least 6 stronger lifters as follows:

Eddie Torres (Zest) 820 kg (1,807 pounds)

Mon Debuque (Zest) 755 kg (1,664 pounds)

Bill Blankenship (Zest) 750 kg (1,653 pounds)

Noel Cacao (UP) 730 kg (1,609 pounds)

Rene Dio (Phils) 725 kg (1,598 pounds)

Chino Uichanco (UP) 712.5 kg (1,570 pounds)



gleng gleng gleng gleng!!!!!

nice ha!!

does eclipse gym own any record?

Greatbop, are you a member of this gym? Is your name among those listed?

If not, nakakahiya naman na pinaglalaban mo ang dalawang gyms where you have no affiliation whatsoever.

To Eddie Torres, hahabol kami sa numbers ninyo.. hehehe!

I think GreatBop is just trying to stir up a pissing contest between the two gyms and not knowing that the trainers in both gyms actually know and respect each other in real life...

Exactly!!! Both gyms have mutual respect for each other

So, going back to the topic of Gold's Gym... are there any feedback from members and disgruntled members? I'm thinking of getting a limited membership at Makati (P16K for 144 visits within a year) and my main reason for considering it is that it's on my way home from work.

(Fitness First is closer but after all the horror stories I heard about the cancellations in membership, I decided against it.)

Coming from one of their first members who wa a charter member in fact, the treatment is the same as FF, minus the credit card scares.

Oh, and a lot of gays harrasing male members in the locker room

[BlueTear]

Is this true? Which gym ba yan?

[blakedaddy]

Is this true? Which gym ba yan?

I wa one of the first members of gold's back in 2002. Makat palang branch nila. At first, mejo ok pa service, shempre pa PR mga ungas to get clients for their personal training. Ever since, service has sucked and plummeted big time. That's one of the reason's I decided to leave

[blakedaddy]

Is this true? Which gym ba yan?

and about teh harasment, it happens in both branches but from what i heard, its worse in their Galleria branch

[magnabash]

What happened???

Bakit wala nang nagpopost?

[green_apples]

So far, my friend has no complaints except that the place is too far

[bishop]

I used to go to the Galleria branch. No complaints at all. I didn't renew as I moved to Eastwood for work (office used to be at the Ortigas area).

Some people complain about their service or lack thereof. I think it's more on the individual on how he/she handles it. No trainer will be able to look after you full-time because they have other responsibilities. Of course, one can always get a personal trainer if he/she wants 100% guidance.

I'm just replying to the topic which is ALL ABOUT GOLD'S GYM?

Does it even say specifically for Gold's Philippines ONLY?

[kickassninjakid]

No, but it is clearly implied. People who go on about where they work out abroad is always ignored.

So reply to the one about Canada Gold's in a Great White North Canada discussion eh? I've seen Gold's in Canada when I drove to Niagra from Chicago and stopped to see what the fuss was about that particular branch, but this thread exists for people to learn the good and bad about Gold's in Metro-Manila. So soap-boxing about living abroad and going to Gold's abroad is pointless, meaningless, and irrelevant.

Besides....Gold's is basically low-end in the States and Canada. Everybody knows this.
