Bodimetrix Fitness


I need to pay a little tribute to my gym.

I work out at Bodimetrix, located next to the YMCA swimming pool, behind SM City Manila. I found it back in August of ’05, a few months after moving to my current apartment. I just happened to be passing by the Y and saw their sign. One quick visit and I knew it was the place for me.

They have all of the basic stuff that I need (barbells, dumbbells, bench press, squat rack, etc). They have plenty of weights, and they take really good care of their equipment.

I meet people of different ages and fitness levels there. I also meet quite a few students, since the gym has a student rate. Sometimes I give training advice to the younger lifters.

If you live near SM Manila and are looking for a gym, try it! Ask me nicely and I’ll treat you to a free torture, I mean training session.

You can visit my fitness site and learn about intermittent fasting and other strategies to lose fat.

 

 

Basta LoveLife@National Book Store


I saw Basta LoveLife in National Book Store today (SM City Manila). They had it on a shelf in the psychology/self-help section, alongside other relationship books. It looks like the book is making its way to most of the Manila stores (I got an email from someone who saw it at Market Market). Hope you’ll run out and get a copy!

By the way, for those in the University Belt area of Manila, you can buy the book from me at a 25% discount (while supplies last). I’m selling about 80 copies to raise funds for one of our retreats. Just contact me through email if you are interested and can travel to the U-belt area.
