NO WAY >>> I THNK CRUNCH IS GUD THAN TALWALKERS

Crunch is a kanjoos gym. Never switches on the AC properly, even when you ask him (a guy called Mazhar is the manager) - for people who have a tendency to sweat while working out (and that includes all of us), it can be very painful, and limits the amount of time you feel like working out. Defeats the whole purpose of paying extra to join an air-conditioned gym when there is no A/C.



And the coach (Eshwar) helps primarily those who pay him to be a personal trainer, with no great eagerness to guide the others. He mostly acts like he has no time, and you have to hurry up when talking to him, since he is too busy talking to the people who have paid him and guiding them.



Talwalkar's is miles ahead on both - they have a fleet of trainers, and the AC is perpetually on and powerful.

Is the above said GYM helps in diet-preparation program? I am looking for some weight-gain exercises. Which GYM can provide help? How much the above-mentioned GYMs cost?

[Portuguese Man-Of-War]

Crunch doesn't, but Talwalkar's does.



Talwalkar's costs Rs. 5,000 per month, Rs, 7,000 for 2 months, and Rs. 14,000 if you want to pay for a year, AFAIK - they charge lesser as you keep paying for longer periods. You have to haggle a lot with them, but they yield. Crunch costs Rs. 800 per month, and Rs. 1,800 if you pay for 3 months (excluding the Cardio section, which costs 30% more). But if you haggle, Crunch lets you pay Rs. 600 a month for the gym (again, excluding Cardio). Talwalkar prices include Cardio, steam bath etc.



Talwalkar's at Banjara Hills is pretty crowded in the mornings.



You do not need a gym's guidance to put on weight. Eat a lot of bananas and boiled egg whites, drink plenty of fruit juices and milk, and have 6 meals a day spaced out evenly. The gym will help you get the weight into the right places (otherwise it just gets into your midriff ). Here's something a coach once recommended for weight-gain - daily:



12 bananas

12 boiled eggs (the whites, not the yellows)

1 litre milk

100gm soya (chunks or granules, boiled)

Rice and potatoes (for carbohydrates)

Fruit juices and dry fruits

Plenty of water



You should see gains in 15 days if you can actually do that . You should space it out into 6 meals a day, and you should not eat too much after sunset to avoid it all becoming fat. Of course, you should work out along with all of this.

BTW, Where this Crunch is located exactly?

Road No. 1 Banjara Hills, close to Nagarjuna Circle (slightly after it, if you are coming from Panjagutta, to the left of the road). It's in the 3rd floor of a building.



If you plan to sign up, make sure he promises you that he will put on all the ACs all the time .

I quit crunch for precisely the same reason...It was so bloody hot..and only one of the two ac's used to work...Hey portuguese are there any other gyms that know about...what about latitudes? is that any good? Talwalkars is way off my regular route...

[avish]

I JOINED CRUNCH ON 1 JULY AND PAID AMOUNT 5000 FOR ANNUAL PACKAGE AFTER HAVING A TRAIL FOR 2 DAYS AS I FOUND IT TO BE VERY NICE AND CLEAN PLACE AND I THINK THE FEES CRUNCH CHARGES IS LESS TO ITS STANDARD AS I JOINED IT AFTER SPEAKING TO THE MANAGER MAZAR AND HE PROMISED ME THAT MY GYM VALIDITY WILL BE BLOCKED FOR THE TIME WHEN I AM OUT OF STATION THE FACILITY WHICH NO OTHER GYM PROVIDES AND ARE TOO COSTLY AND NOT AFFORDABLE ATLEAST FOR STUDENTS MOUTH PUBLICITY IS THE THINGS WHICH MAKES CRUNCH SO POPULAR AS I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANY ADS OR OFFERS DONE BY CRUNCH.THE GYM REALLY ROCKS AS ONE CAN SAY THIS BY SEEING THE CROWD.

[Talwalkars]

if u are looking for weight loss u will definitely not go wrong with talwalkars

i weighed a 105 kgs and lost 35 kgs in 5-6 months flat.

of course i joined the personal training programme and they gave me a diet which helped a lot along with my excellent personal trainer.but the personal training is a little espensive and i paid like 30 grand fro 6 months,but it was worth every penny.the trainers there are extremely helpfula nd friendly but the gym is a tad cowded

[crapbag]
