Boxing Thread...Part II

[gorgeouschef]

@ sis ann, sa elorde gym ako sa may las piñas. :-)

[igenna]

ako, of all the sports and exercises i've tried, sa volleyball at boxing lang talaga ako hiyang. enjoy ako sa boxing at whole body workout pa. on-off lang ang training ko. we used to have a trainer come sa house, but kanina lang i tried balboa fitness gym along commonwealth. it's not classy like the other popular gyms. ok naman yung training ko.

i just have a question. kasi after the training, my trainor made me do crunches and after that stretching and massage. medyo nailang ako sa stretching and massage part kasi hindi ako sanay. i've seen trainors do that to their guy trainees, but well i'm a girl so okay lang kaya yun? do i have a reason to be worried?

[pixiedust]

^sa elorde din ganun. and they have a lot of female clients. yung trainer ko naman was professional in doing it. napansin ko sa mga girls, he let us lean against a sort of matt pag yung particular na stretching requires na magdikit yung bodies. so naka sandwich yung matt sa gitna namin. tapos during some stretches pag kunwari tumaas ng konti yung shirt, binababa niya. or yung pag nakahiga then isstretch pataas yung leg, pag umakyat yung jogging pants (bale, kita yung ankles) hihilain niya then he'll just hold it para it stays put. so i didn't feel uncomfortable na rin.

sa massage naman, mabilis lang tapos ginagaanan niya yung kamay.  butyung pinsan ko na guy na tintrain din niya mas matagal tapos talagang hard massage. minsan abuso pa yung cousin ko. madaming request. haha.

but if you feel really uncomfortable about it, tell him about it.

[igenna]

thanks pixiedust maybe i feel uncomfortable kasi it was my first time na lalaki ang mag-massage sakin. but i know it's part of the training. one time pa nga, he reached for my towel and attempted to wipe my face (because i had my gloves on). i immediately grabbed the towel from him. haha! i know it's normal for trainors pero nailang lang talaga ko. hehe.

but i'm kinda hesitant na to go back there. di lang dahil sa massage issue but 250 per class (without membership) for me is too much given na hindi naman kagandahan ang facilities nila. but good thing may elorde na rin sa commonwealth! just saw their "now open" banner this morning. well, it's not exactly along cwealth, sa may don antonio sya. i'll go there next time to train

[pixiedust]

^how much yung sa commonwealth sis? yung sa elorde mandalyong before was 250 din without membership. membership is 500 a year. tapos if member ka na, 150 per session on certain times and weekends. then outside of those hours, 200 na.

[m_lim]

ako naman favorite part ko yung massage! tumutunog kasi lahat ng buto sa likod! hehe

[igenna]

sa balboa, 250 if not member, 200 if member. nakalimutan ko nga lang magkano yung membership fee. meron din sila yung package like 12 sessions. good thing hindi ako nagpa-member kasi meron na palang elorde near it. hehe

Wow sis kelan ka ulit mag train? hehe first time ko kasi as in i never tried pa! pasabay naman hehe am from UP Diliman lang!

[rastagurl11]

^ MWF ako sis, pero the time varies. Paiba iba kasi sa work. Sa Monday I'll go there before lunch and btw, i already switched to Muay Thai. Is it your first time sis? Ideally, you can bring your own hand wraps kasi medyo di maganda amoy nung pinahihiram nilang wraps and glove. Or at least dala ka ng alcohol

ay sayang di pala ako makakasabay sayo! saturday lang kasi ako free from work; ia-assist naman nila ako di ba? hehe thanks sis! sana makapunta ako next weekend.

[anne29]

Sa mga sis na sa Elorde Mandaluyong nag train, [textspeak!]  po ang way ko from BONI MRT? and usually until what time sila open? thanks po!

[pixiedust]

^i used to train there. mas malapit kung from shaw mrt ka galing. from mrt dun ka eexit sa side ng edsa central. pag labas mo nung ticket swiping thing, i think exit is to your right. then pagbaba mo, kakad ka lang striaght along edsa south bound. yung building na may kadikit na foot bridge (there are 2 foot bridges that you'll pass. this is the 2nd one), that's the one. basta may katapat niyang mercury. you have to turn right kasi the entrance is on the side. 

from boni, mas malayo yung lalakarin. you'll go down dun sa southbound side. then walk opposite traffic. same thing, if you see the mercury, yun na yun.

they're open as early as 5 ata. i don't know kung regular hours to or they just have special patrons that train at that time. nakwento lang kasi sakin nung trainer ko. they close around 10. but tinatapos nila if you come in late. i think the latest i've stayed there is mga past 10:30.

[anne29]

^thanks sis! kung shaw pala! meron pa isang elorde dun di ba? the one in Worldwide corporate center ba po ba? thanks sa mga inputs! hanap muna pala ako ng hand wrap ko as per sis rastagurl's advise.

[pixiedust]

^yung alam kong isa pa is the on in tektite. same ba yun nung sinasabi mo?

[atrabida]

namamahalan ako sa elorde at hassle din magcommute. bili na lang ako ng cd at magbox sa bahay

[damselindistress17]

Anyone here who trains sa Elorde taft? san exactly sa taft and do you have the number? Thank you!

[anne29]

^yung alam kong isa pa is the on in tektite. same ba yun nung sinasabi mo?

ahh baka yun nga yung sa tektite sis! from office malapit ako sa mandaluyong branch nila! nagtingin ako kanina ng hand wrap sa megamall puro out of stock naman! need pa ba branded yung handwrap mga sis? anung difference? kanino kaya ako pwede makasabay sa mandaluyong? hehe after office sana!

[pixiedust]

^kahit di yung expensive brands. yung sakin dati the brand was Fight. i forgot na where i bought it. basta sa sporting goods store lang sa mall like chris or olympic village lang. it's less than 200.

i suggest you buy gloves na rin kasi medyo kadiri if you borrow from the gym. siyempre kung sino sino na gumamit nun. pinawisan na at lahat.

yung gloves ko is Bulls. parang 800+ lang siya. i bought it dun sa sporting goods store in glorietta. the one near cinderella and kenny rogers. basta yung area na yun. di ko maalala kung anong store yun. hehe.
