MELVIN + CROSS FIT PAHLAWAN

August 02, 2015 · Lifestyle

MELVIN CHONG DREAMS BIG!!

I met Melvin a while back and we just clicked, I’ve never met someone so enthusiastic about life. It’s quite fitting that he owns a life insurance agency called Life Safers.

When Melvin mentioned he was opening a Cross Fit gym I jumped at the chance to try it out. Cross Fit is one of the hottest workouts in the States and is proven to get you in tip top shape in the shortest amount of time.

I couldn’t feel my legs the next day after shooting, I will definitely be back to Cross Fit Pahlawan!


THE RIGHT GEAR .. AND PINK ; )

Cross Fit is no joke, it’s like military training for civilians. The right attire is a must to keep you comfortable throughout the workout.

I must say, my Nike wedges were no the ideal shoes to wear for this workout……. Stick to proper cross training sports shoes as Cross Fit includes a lot of jumps, squats and movement.

 
I’M READY !

I thought I was fit until I tried Cross Fit, after 10 minutes I was exhausted!!

I can see why people get addicted to this workout because after just one workout you can feel every muscle in your body working

TAAA DAAA !

Here I am with Melvin who is serious about his workouts!! I can see why he would want to open his own Cross fit gym, he’s obsessed!! In a good way.


THE OVERVIEW OF CROSS FIT PAHLAWAN

Located at the rooftop of Citta Mall in Ara Damansara PJ, Cross Fit Palawan offers everything you need to keep you in shape and motivated to work out.

The space is huge which allows for a wide range of equipment. There are shower facilities for those on the go and a lounge cum mini cafe for those that want to bring a healthy meal to eat or protein shake after their workout.

DUMBBELLS & MORE WEIGHTS

Cross Fit Palawan has Rogue equipment, the official brand for Cross Fit.

There is a wide range of dumbbells, barbells and kettle bells so you are sure to get a variety of workouts

WEIGHTS THAT TURNED YOU

Who would have known I had the strength in me to lift such heavy weights, it just goes to show, with the right guidance the body is capable of way more than you can imagine.


GRABBING LIFE BY THE RINGS!!

You need a lot of strength to pull your body weight up while holding on to rings, Melvin does it with ease as he takes his workouts as seriously as he takes his work.

ITS HARDER THAN I THOUGHT

You need some serious upper body strength for this exercise, gymnastics was not my strong point in PE at school…. I think I need some practice

THE BEST MACHINE FOR FULL BODY WORK OUT

Ive always loved rowing as it’s a great full body workout. Cross Fit includes rowing in their workout for a great cardio portion.
