old equipment
most of the equipment at ghassan's gym is new but there are a few older machines and there is a reason that they are still there,they are good actually very good,the seat adjustment might not be hydrolic but who cares if the movement is smooth and perfect but unfortunatly there are a few people some who don't know and some who think they know but they don't,those people judge a machine by what they look only and not by the function and stairdiness of each unit,to those i say that i am availble to them to try to convince them about the hidden qualities of those few older units that most of my members love and wouldn't want me to replace.
ps:there are new machines if they were given to me for free i wouldn't put in my gyms.
one membership for both gyms
great news guy's,if you join ghassan's gym that automaticly make you a member at algosaibi gym,if you are a member at algosaibi gym and want to exersice at ghassan's gym all you have to do is pay the membership diffrence becouse ghassan's gyms rate is slightly higher.
it brakes my heart
it breaks my heart sometimes when i walk into ghassan's gym and find it almost empty espeachely on fridays,this gym should have at least 1000 members,it is the best gym in bahrain,we should be making the best buisness amongst the gyms but we are not,inferior gyms are doing better.our main problem is the high drop out rate,about90%,in the us the drop out rate is only 10%,thats why gym buisness is good buisness over there,the feed back that we get from most members who don't rejoin is that,they only came a few times,or that they don't have the time or that we are to far,or that they are short on cash.i think the main reasons that we are strugelling in this buisness is the mentality of most people here,they either are to lazy to invest in their healt or that they aren't aware how importent it is to exercise espeachely after we reach a certin age,on this aspect,i think we are 30 years behind the west,for my buisness sake and for the sake of every one's health and wellbeing,i hope that we start catching up very fast.
forgive me if i am boring you
forgive me if i am boring you but the truth is that i am having great workouts on the new equipment and all the members feel the same way, i pride myself on the fact that i try to provide the best equipment there is for every one to enjoy,contrary to one of my compatitors who provide cheap unsafe poorly desiged equipment made in china or god knows where and try to pass them as authantic american made products,to bad that there are people who don't care about quality and would settle for less as long as they are saving a buck.
the wheather is not guilty
you must have noticed,it has been raining,but what i don't understand,what does bad wheather have to do with your workout,becouse of the rain my gyms are almost empty,it is as if some members need any reason to skip their workouts,come on don't be lazy,come in and have fun while enjoing your workout,the wheather isn't that bad.

Finding the gyms on the map
I don't know how many of you have noticed that Google recently updated their Google maps feature on Bahrain. The previously blury pictures were replaced with amazing detail. You can see clearly see that there is plenty of parking space in front of Ghassan's gym for example.
combining weight training and cardio training
we have great success with intermediate members who are intrested in losing weight , we do that with a combination weight trainning and cardio training, they do both in the same workout, we start them with the weight training so they would use their stored energy as fuel,then we move them to a breif 30min long cardio workout which uses their stored fat as fuel, for more details contact ghassan.
a great fitness workout
i might have failled to mention that we are the only sport center in bahrain that have the versa climber climbing machine,boy what a workout will you get,it works both your upper and lower body like no other machine,lazy members shy away from it but those who use it get a fantastic workouts,come on in and give it a try.
