I understand why east is much better to north just by taking AF as an example...
I have been AF member for more than 10 years. I have friends over in central and east. We gym around sg and try different AF gyms bjt over the years I noticed AF gyms in north is just simply worse....
North is just
Very small and cramped
Toilets are non existence or just simply super dirty
Bare minimum of equipment or just outright rusty, sticky and messy
(eg. Only 1 squat rack, cable, 2 bench the cardio space as small as HDB common room. Probably the size of whole HDB 4 room thats all maybe lesser than that.)
Compared to central and east.
Its just super spacious
Toilets are clean and good. Really well maintained
Sometime the Equipments are just overwhelming and so nice to workout.
I understand its franchise but there got to be a guidelines to set up a gym right or the guideline is just to have a space of 3/4 room HDB?
In north we just settled for less i guess. The only good workout i can have is in weekends because I just go to central or east for a workouts.
