Every sport has its rules and apparel. Even gym has special apparel if you want to enter gym… everything is commercialized… which translate to money.

A friend was asking me to join him at the new gym at City Mall. The gym is actually as old as the City Mall itself… was it like one year? Anyway, the previous owner some how ‘cheated’ a lot of members, so it went ‘bankrupt’. Early this year the gym was taken over by a new management. Membership is not that cheap… like RM1,200 a year or so… but don’t want to join yet… I want to do ‘walk-in’ first… pay every time go there.

But I don’t have proper apparel for gym… shoes, pants, shirts… so I keep on avoiding my friend’s invitation. I only have my Crocs shoe, the Crocs Mens Santa Cruz which I love so much… it’s really a multi purpose shoe. Probably I can use that for gym too 😀 Imagine, I’ve used the shoe to climb the Bukit Padang hill twice and it’s so comfortable… no legs or back pain.

But it looks weird wearing that shoe coz it’s too casual, but it’s very comfortable… very light and soft. I’m still thinking whether to buy a new shoe suitable for gym or just use my crocs.

How about shirt?… OK, when I see people wearing shirt with big number like 3, 5 etc. on their chest or arm… I think it has something to do with horse… maybe equestrian apparel… no, I don’t mean clothing for the horse but probably the Polo game or something likes that… If I’m going to get those shirts, maybe time for me to change hobby and get a horse at the same time?… No lah, I don’t think I have time to take care horse… I’m only interested with the shirt. Well my standard shirt is golf shirt… golf shirts have lots XXL sizes, probably too many fat golfers 😀 So it should be OK for gym. Pants? Can wear anything lah as long it feels comfortable…
