This gym is conveniently located within walking distance from home. Personal trainer JK is very dedicated, knowledgeable, focused and professional in his work. He is also polite, patient, and is highly aware of client's well-being during sessions.

The gym is often crowded, even at 7 AM, and I have to share equipment with others. The equipment is also quite rusty, especially the bars and weights. The smith machine bar always leaves a rusty smell on my hands. I wish they could renew some of this equipment, given that this outlet has been open for some time.

Been training here for a year. The staff are friendly, and machines are in good condition. Damaged equipment is fixed very quickly, and they upgrade their equipment frequently. Enjoy gymming here :)

The gym is large and well maintained. JK is an amazing personal trainer—knowledgeable, motivating, and truly invested in helping you reach your goals. Every session is effective and very challenging, but still takes into account your limitations.

Here are a few options, keeping the changes minimal: **Option 1 (Slightly more formal):** "No one takes accountability for member concerns, and it is difficult to reach staff, as countless emails go unanswered." **Option 2 (Closer to original phrasing):** "No one takes accountability for member concerns, and it's difficult to get hold of staff, with countless emails receiving no reply." **Option 3 (Very direct):** "No one takes accountability for member concerns, and staff are difficult to reach, with countless emails going unanswered." --- *Self-correction/Reasoning for Option 1 (my preferred choice):* * "No one **takes** accountability" (subject-verb agreement). * "member **concerns**" (plural for general issues). * "and **it is** difficult" (adds necessary subject and verb for the second clause). * "to **reach** staff" (slightly more professional than "get hold of," but "get hold of" is also fine and keeps closer to original). * "as countless **emails** go unanswered" (fixes "form" to "from," pluralizes "email," and rephrases "no reply from countless email" to be clearer about the *outcome* of sending emails, which is the implied meaning). I'll go with Option 1 as it balances clarity and minimal change effectively. **Edited review:** "No one takes accountability for member concerns, and it is difficult to reach staff, as countless emails go unanswered."

A cool gym with plenty of equipment and friendly staff!

I signed up for 24 PT sessions with JK to focus on fat loss, and I’m really happy with the progress I’ve made. Over the weeks, I’ve not only lost fat but also gained muscle and strength. Friends and family have even noticed the positive changes, which has been very encouraging. JK is professional, friendly, and very knowledgeable, which makes every session very effective and enjoyable! He answers all my questions patiently, no matter how big or small, and makes sure I understand the exercises and their purpose. He also ensures I perform exercises with proper form, which has boosted my confidence and helped me avoid injuries. Overall, it has been a great experience, and I recommend him to anyone wanting to make a positive change in their fitness journey.

My first-time personal training (PT) experience with trainer JK (JunKeat) at this branch lasted about 4-6 months. From the beginning, I purposely sought out a trainer so I could learn two things: how to do a muscle-up, and how to use proper form on as many exercises as possible for effective training. I was quite accustomed to the mentality of "no pain, no gain." That is to say, I believed a good exercise session meant toughing it out through sheer strength. This didn't mean I completely forwent form; it just wasn't the foremost priority. I later learned that this meant I couldn't fully engage the muscle I wanted, because my unstable form would lead to me relying on other muscles during fatigue. Which is why it was funny to me that when he first saw my deadlifting form, he banned me from doing them until I could consistently apply the tips he gave me for Romanian deadlifts. I laugh about it now in hindsight, but that experience, in turn, gave me a solid foundation to progress in deadlifting. He seemed strict at first, almost nitpicky when it came to form. But once you get to know him, you'll find he's just worried about your safety, and the better you integrate his tips, the less he needs to remind you. He coordinates my workout sets well and knows when I'm ready to push towards heavier weights. He also isn't stingy when it comes to answering your questions if you don't understand a concept. Just ask, keeping in mind the hour-long PT sessions. Something I particularly value in him is that when I tell him a part of my body hurts during or after an exercise, or doesn't feel right, he's usually spot-on with how to solve it. Whether it's tension/squeezes during an exercise, excessive force from one side of the body, or tightness in the knee, he has interesting ways of solving them. I could go on and on, but my final results were: 1. I learned a lot about many exercises, just as I wanted. My compound weight personal records (PRs) doubled (granted, I wasn't lifting heavy anyway because of my bad form), and I feel very safe practicing deadlifting by myself in the future. 2. I couldn't do a muscle-up, but I did go from a max of 3 bad-form pull-ups in 1 set, to 10 good-form pull-ups in 2 sets on a good day. Unfortunately, that also meant I only started learning the basics of the muscle-up towards the end of my sessions, since my back finally had enough stamina for it. Was it perfect? No. I didn't achieve everything I wanted. But did I have a great time with him? Yes. I learned what I needed about the basics to feel more confident about what I was spending my time on. He is exactly the hypervigilant, whiny, fusspot, funny instructor I would send my future muscle-up success video to.

The staff are friendly and approachable. One of them even helped me locate my missing item while he was busy. Keep it up!

The gym is too crowded. It's not a good place for working adults; it's mainly for teenagers and youth. It gives a very substandard vibe. The equipment is good, but due to lack of space, it's not kept in an organized manner. On the positive side, gym staff are quite friendly and helpful. So far, I haven't seen the usual hard-selling tactics from trainers. They keep themselves away from those. That's a great thing about this Gymmboxx. Perhaps it's the same across all their outlets.
