Hi guys, I need some advice here. I’m currently trying to cancel my AF membership. I WhatsApp-ed my home gym and they informed me that I can only cancel on my contract end date, which is still more than 1 year away. Unless I have medical reasons or relocation.
This feels a bit wrong to me, is there any way to cancel it?

so im a 17 y/o girl and nearby gyms around my area are all very far because i live in an area with many condos and not so many malls so i only go to the condo gym on weekends because i have other sports on weekends. but after a month ago i cannot step into the gym anymore bcz once i went in around 7am (when im most free) and there was 3 uncles there that forced me to get off the treadmill because i had forgotten my towel that day and they said that there were gym laws that said that to use the gym everywhere in sg u need towel ? but i was only going low incline and i did not touch anything other than the screen. after that incident, i brought my towel the next time and they were all glaring at me and it seemed like they were trying to find ways to kick me out once again. what do i do ? i also dont dare to use the weights because im afraid of them

Want to learn how I can tone and build muscle in my arms- should I hire a trainer?

Hi :) I am 26 F, and I want to learn a little more on how to tone my arms. I have relatively thin arms (10 inches at the widest area, circumference wise), but they just feel flabby and squishy- I want a bit more definition there.... the thing is I do not know how to properly do the exercises for this specific part of my bod PLUS I do not want to go to the gym to work out (personal reasons, don't ask me why).... this leaves me with the option of simple at home equipment (weights) and doing it on my own, thus.. i need guidance.

I do not know if this is possible, but I was thinking of just doing a couple sessions (maybe even just 2) with a trainer, learn the form and technique (wtv its called), then do it on my own ... is this possible/the way to go, and will any SG trainers be ok with this?

also, please don't chide/berate me if I'm getting any stuff on fitness wrong (I'm an absolute beginner)

Gyms recommendations in CBD area?

I’m considering hitting the gym during office hours since I have a pretty flexible lunch window (anytime between 11am and 3pm).

Does anyone have recommendations for affordable gyms with shower facilities? Thanks in advance!

Stripe prioritizes efficiency and low dishonor fees ($2.50), but this is honestly way too low compared to its competitors like Ezypay ($16-35).

From an investor's perspective, who would want to invest in an ineffective company that can only charge 0.156x of what its direct competitor charges?

Stripe, which competes openly and allows merchants to switch providers easily, is failing to capitalize on a market niche that Ezypay does. Ezypay is "baked in" as the primary payments layer for major gym management software platforms (gym members are delivered to Ezypay without individual consent or the ability to opt out). They're able to exploit their stranglehold over customers in the fitness industry to basically turn dishonor fees into a consistent revenuw stream.

For the continued profitability of Stripe as a platform, it would be important to fix this critical performance flaw, lest Stripe be outcompeted by its superiors.

Need advice on getting bigger: 179cm, 66–67kg, struggling with eating/nutrition

Hey everyone, I’m looking for some advice on how to get more toned.

For context, I’m 179cm and weigh about 66–67kg.I’d like to look bigger, more buff.

My main issue is honestly eating. I’m not a big fan of eating and I can pretty much live off one meal a day if I don’t force myself. I know that’s probably not ideal if I want to gain muscle or improve my physique, but I’m also trying not to spend too much money on food.

I’m thinking of working out around 2–3 times a week, probably hitting the gym

Would appreciate advice on:

  1. How should I approach nutrition without breaking the bank?
  2. Any easy high-protein foods/meals for someone who doesn’t enjoy eating much?
  3. Is working out 2–3 times a week enough to see progress?
  4. What kind of workout routine should I start with?
  5. Should I focus on gaining weight, maintaining, or cutting?

Any tips would be appreciated, especially from people who started skinny/lean and had to force themselves to eat more. Thanks!

Would love some real advice, especially from others who deal with this. Esp protein/carb sources (affordable pls). Thanks gymbroz 🙏
