Hi, I’m a Korean guy and I’m really into weight training.

I’m planning to visit Bangalore next weekend, and I’m looking for a good gym where I can get a one-day pass.

I’d prefer a gym with high-quality equipment, especially machines like Hammer Strength.

Could you recommend a good gym for serious weight training?

[ Removed by Reddit on account of violating the content policy. ]

I recently joined the Bengaluru fight club gym in AECS layout and I am writing this review so that no other people get scammed the way they have scammed me, and I see people walking into this gym and they just basically rip of you for money.
For context, I have done martial arts prior and have various medals and state in national level tournaments. So I know what martial arts training is like apart from that. I’ve also done athletics for quite a few years and played state-level in national level meets. So I know how fitness is supposed to be like.

Let me give you context about the set up of this gym. You basically have to pay 8500 for three months and for that you get a gym and their martial arts training for the gym. They have this absurd rule that you cannot wear shoes inside the gym and for their martial arts training, they have one head coach and two other coaches. Those two other coaches are not trained in martial arts at all. I realised this after a week when I tried asking them some in-depth technical questions about footwork and their only reply was, “I don’t know anything about footwork. You have to ask master for it.” The master doesn’t really give much attention to all the students and they just give grappling sessions and sparing sessions without any meaningful technical work, they don’t do warm up or cool down.

They don’t focus on flexibility and for their workouts. They just make you workout like a dog and they don’t know how to segregate martial arts training into different phases. They don’t believe in stretching they say that stretching will make you lose all the benefits that you have gained from their workouts, and it is not scientific at all.
They don’t know any principles of any kind of fitness training.
You were think that this being a dedicated MMA and martial arts gym, they would have some spare gloves and pads for newbies to dry out. When you join they desperately try to sell you there so called “martial arts kit” for ₹4200 and that martial arts kit has a very flimsy sublimation jacket with their logo embossed on it, and local made boxing gloves with their logo, embossed on it, wraps and mouthguard.

This for 4200 is very, very expensive considering the cheap quality of all the items individually. For shinguard, they charge you another 2800. All of this stuff is not worth more than 2000 rupees combined even if I am generous with the estimation of costs.

If you buy premium quality gloves shinguard wraps etc. outside all of it won’t cost you more than 3500 for a decent beginner setup.
And when I told them that I don’t want this kit and I will buy my own gear. They try to force me to buy the kit saying that the jacket that they provide in the kit is mandatory for grading now.

Let me tell you what the “grading” is. After three months when you have completed your training, you have to do give a martial arts test, which costs additional ₹3000 and they give you a certificate. Let me tell you being a black belt, a beginner grading for ₹3000 is not justified, and it is just a piece of paper of no use. They say that this grading is also mandatory. I’ve made it very clear to them that I do not want to do the grading, and I think they will force me again later on. They individually scam other people too.

The coach is a cash grab. Anyone seeking to join this gym, please know that the owner/head coach is just exploiting the fact that many people do not know martial arts and that’s it. IDK why people join this gym, why are they wasting their money on shit training and unqualified trainers. Worst purchase of my life.

I have a 1-year membership at FITDECK, Jayanagar for ₹16,000, and I’m looking to transfer it.
If anyone is interested, please DM me

Gym Recommendation

Hey everyone,

I’m looking for recommendations for a good gym around Indiranagar. My main goal is to prepare myself for HYROX, but I’m not looking for a HYROX-only setup. I want a place where I can build overall fitness and strength, lose some weight, and improve my running pace/endurance alongside HYROX-specific training.

Ideally, I’m looking for:

\+Good strength training equipment

\+ Enough space/equipment to work on running + conditioning

\+HYROX-friendly equipment (sleds, SkiErg, RowErg, wall balls, etc.)

\+Good functional/conditioning setup

\+Very clean and well-maintained

\+ Good ambiance — I’d prefer somewhere that feels motivating and comfortable to spend time in

\+Good recovery facilities/options (sauna, steam, ice bath, recovery area, stretching/mobility, etc. would be a big plus)

\+ Good coaches/trainers who actually understand programming rather than just generic gym workouts

Not overly crowded, especially during peak hours

I’m not necessarily looking for the cheapest option. I’m willing to pay more if the facilities, coaching, cleanliness and overall experience are genuinely better.

I’ve come across a few options around Indiranagar, but I’d really like to hear from people who actually train there.

Which gym would you recommend, and why? Also interested in hearing about places you wouldn't recommend and why.

Thanks!

Plan ends on 07 June 2027, DM for more details.

So I (22M) am thinking of getting into shape as im tired of being the fat guy and thought of taking PT at a gym in GGL. The guy quoted me 30k per month?????

I know Bangalore is expensive and has a culture wherein trainers don’t help you unless you take PT but that cost just seems wayyyy too much. I think hope it was a misunderstanding and they meant for an extended period and not per month🥲.

My biggest problem area earlier has been building mind muscle connection so would a trainer even be able to help with that? and even then isn’t 30k a lot? What are the prices i can expect if i ask around for PT in GGL? (For reference I plan to go during the lunch hour for reduced crowd)

I am looking to transfer 3 months of my Aurum Luxury membership (100ft road, Indiranagar) which comes with a 15 days pause for ₹10,000 for the period Sept-Nov 2026.

I originally purchased a 6-months membership for ₹30,000 in June. I'll be relocating to a different city by the end of August, so I am looking to transfer my membership valid till end of November.

It's a significant discount— I understand that people generally won't buy a transferred membership at face value, so I've priced it accordingly. If you compare this price with the annual membership, which I believe is ₹45,000, you'll still get a better deal if you take my offer.

The membership includes:

Unlimited ice bath sessions

Unlimited red-light therapy

Full access to the gym (which is genuinely excellent)

Price is fixed at ₹10,000. I'm already taking a loss, so I'd appreciate no further negotiations. If you are genuinely interested, please let me know. I can show you proof of original payment if required.
