Great for family with young kid and teen. They have a lot of books for young people. Its at Seri Center. I met the owner. She's a mother so her stock is for kids but she said she will expand and add more stock for grown up. There is a new one recently open. Great for family with young kid and teen.

Why when i signed up i was given a slip that said i could bring 5 friends 5 times for a 'completely free tryout' - When i did bring a friend, before he was allowed to work out he was sat down, cornered by 3 sales-girls and a contract pushed under his nose and told he can only get the free workouts till he signs up? I told them this was bullshit and they ordered him out unless he paid? I worked for a gym in Penang before so i know the schpiel, but refusing entry is just utter bollocks And why do i always seem to land the flamboyantly gay desk/towel attendant EVERY time i go? @ Werewolf, your too sharp for me, if im honest i got a list as long as my arm so while we’re on the subject of pet hates about California…..

The price of admission is worth it alone just to watch the cute TGs Pumping Iron.
