有一天,父母像往常一样出外工作, 母总欢到家去玩牌, 留下10岁的我4岁的妹。那一天, 我心情别好,我决定要和小妹分享我的小小秘密 :) 我告诉小我要带进水池游泳”, 条件是不可告诉任何人,高兴点头答应于是俩开开心心跳进水池里玩个天翻地复
 
 
一天, 我们每天都跳进水池里嬉水, 每次都提醒千万不可我们的秘密。小都乖乖我的, 4天嬉水都平安过关5, 我一时忘了提醒我们间的承诺。 , 过多次提点, 秘密! 怎知当天妈妈工一家门, 开开心心我们水池里嬉水的秘密全盘托出…… 这个, , 害得挨了! 事后当用浴室都得给家监视, :(

P/S : 还记得妈妈:水池的水刷牙洗, 跳进游泳!!??哈哈!! 当年实欠揍 :D

Tips to Prevent Gym Locker Theft

I am one of the Fitness First’s locker theft victims (not exclusive, not special, I was just one among many victims).  I personally experienced Fitness First’s “couldn’t care less” attitude.  I’d like to advise all Fitness First members to take care of your belongings.  No joke!  Fitness First will absolutely disclaim any responsibility for its members’ belongings lost or stolen in the gym lockers.  After uncountable  incidents, there is still no improvement on the lockers’ security and safety.  Any  Fitness First members could be the next victim, just pick a lucky locker number….. you may get a chance to buy a new handphone and new laptop, etc.  If you wish to continue working out in Fitness First, you need to protect your belongings as Fitness First will NOT.  

Here are some tips to prevent gym locker theft:

Tip #1
 
Put your valuables in your car, which is guaranteed NOT safe but it’s still safer than Fitness First’s locker.

Tip #2

Get your own lock to lock your bag to have “double protection”. Thanks Viv for the tip and picture.

lock your bag to get double protection!

Tip #3

If you think that “double protection” is not enough, the thief might take the whole bag away, bring a chain to chain your bag to the iron bar to get “triple protection”.  Thanks AKW for the tip.

Tip #4

If you think that “triple protection” is still not safe in Fitness First’s locker as the thief may cut your chain, bring your own safety box to the locker.  If the thief can cart away your safety box , he/she will still need to use extra effort to open the safety box (at least not so easy!!). Again thanks AKW for the tip.

Tip #5

If the lock, chain and safety  box  still can’t get you “peace-of-mind” while working out, bring a pouch to carry all your valuables (too bad if you have your company laptop with you, you need a bigger pouch) with you everywhere you go within Fitness First premises …. Including shower room and sauna.  Oh, remember the pouch must be waterproof ya.

This waterproof pouch is useful for Fitness First members.  Suggest Fitness First should include this item as one of the welcome gifts to their new members.
Tip #6

If bringing a pouch still can’t calm you down as you may be worrying that the thief might steal your designer shirts or Calvin Klein underwear, bring your whole gym bag to the class and carry it on the treadmill or use it as “additional weight”.  It definitely helps in calories burning.  Again, the bag needs to be waterproof coz you need to bring it to the shower room.

Tip #7

If you think that the ideas of bringing a pouch or gym bag during work out are lousy, you may need a specially designed gym wear with many pockets.  Since there is a need among Fitness First’s members, potentially the “gym wear with pockets” could be a hot seller.  Oh, Fitness First could include this into its exclusive merchandise list too.

Workout Sure-Drop Pants

Tip #8

If you are not used to the gym wear with many pockets eg. the pants dropping when you are running on treadmill or you are unable to jump high in your BodyCombat class coz your laptop, mobile phones and wallet in your pockets are too heavy, GET A MAID!  Why? You can bring your maid to Fitness First to take care of your  belongings for you.  At the same time, you can get other gym members to pass all their bags to your maid…. You can even set up a counter there to provide “gym bag security” service, 1 bag RM1.  Perhaps it’ll earn you not only free membership fee but extra income.

Tip #9

If you think all the above are not workable, your maid might runaway with all the bags, DON’T BRING ANYTHING to the gym!!!  No wallet, no IC, no driving license, no money, no car key, how to go to gym???  That one you have to figure out yourself!!

Tip #10

If you think that you are still not convinced , the best is – DON’T GO TO GYM AT ALL!!!!
