In my experience the pay per minute gyms in Taipei have been much better than world gym or any scammy chain
plently of benches and free weights in my local and the fact it’s pay per minute means you don’t have guys sitting on the equipment swiping tiktok. They actually are cool with working in together and there’s a motive for it because the more time you waste sitting on equipment playing on your phone the less cost effective your workout is.
Word of advice for anyone here: never give worldgym your phonenumber. they’re worse than an obsessive ex-girlfriend
I usually go to Taiwan for a couple of months every year and always go to World Gym for a month or two membership. Every time I do it, the person acts like it’s a really weird request that they’ve never had to do before and check to see with the manager if it’s okay, but they always come back and do it for me. The only problem is that it’s quite expensive.
Love the last comment. Indeed they harass you worse than a debt collector haha but community centers just lack free weights, dumbbell and barbell that can go heavy enough. Machine equipment are easy to max out in Taiwan. Flattering but annoying
About how expensive and how did you negotiate it? I tried at multiple gyms last year and no manager would be open to it even if I was willing to pay more
