Registered myself at the front desk.註冊自己在前台。 Was then ushered to the waiting area to fill up a questionnaire asking bout my fitness goals and health history.隨後迎來的候車區，填補了一個問卷，要求回合我的健身目標和保健的歷史。 Before I finished it, a sales person came and started to introduce about the fitness center.在我完成它的銷售人員來了，開始推出的健身中心。

Yes, Jackie Chan has probably really done that. I was quite impressed with the placement of the machines in the gym. From lower body to upper body resistance machines, they are placed according to the muscle groups.是的，成龍可能真的做到了這一點。 我很深刻的印象安置的機器在健身房。從低身體抵抗力的機器上，他們被置於根據肌肉群。 It is such a simple idea but I wonder why so many gyms have missed this important point by scattering machines in different areas, worse in different levels.它是這樣一個簡單的想法，但我不知道為什麼有那麼多的健身房錯過這個重要的一點散射機在不同的領域，甚至在不同的層次。

In addition to that, Jackie Chan actually created this special zone called Express Zone , dedicated to busy city folks who are rushing, even when they work out in the gym.此外， 成龍實際上創造了這個特殊的區稱為快速區 ，專門為忙碌的城市人誰是倉促，即使他們的工作在健身房。 It is the zone where only less than eight to nine resistance machines are placed.這是區只有不到8至9抵抗機器放置。 These machines are just like other normal machines and not special made.這些機器就像其他正常的機器，而不是特別的進展。 So, you hop on to the first machine, exercise, done, then move on to the next one – 2 sets with 10 repetitions at each station and you will take less than half an hour to get a whole body workout.所以，你跳的第一機，運動，這樣做，然後走向下一個- 2台10重複在每個車站，您將需要不到半小時，讓全身鍛煉。 One may think that this Express Zone is just another marketing gimmick, but for busy people or even beginner, the machines here may meant a lot for them.有人可能會認為這快車區只是另一個營銷噱頭，而是為繁忙的人，甚至初學者，這裡的機器可能意味著很多他們。 We all know instant noodles are not nutritious after all, but many still enjoy eating them.我們都知道方便麵不營養畢竟，但許多人仍然享受吃。 So, consumers' behavior sometimes is hard to know.因此，消費者的行為有時是很難知道。

Before ending the tour, I was introduced to a personal trainer.參觀結束前，我被介紹給一個私人教練。 He took my height, weight and body fat percentage.他拿走了我的身高，體重和身體脂肪比例。 Thinking the trainer would use skinfold caliper to get the body fat measurement, I was instead amazed when he told me that he has got the figures with the digital weighing scale.思維的訓練師會用皮褶卡鉗獲得體脂測量，我是不是感到驚訝時，他告訴我，他已得到的數字，數字稱重規模。 The scale works based on the Bioelectrical Impedance concept which I mentioned in my article –工程的規模為基礎的生物電阻抗的概念，我在我的文章- 4 Ways to Measure Body Fat 4如何計量體脂 . 。

The trainer showed me a chart telling me that my body fat is considered normal.教練告訴我的圖表告訴我，我的身體脂肪被認為是正常的。 In order to get six pack, I need to be at the “Fit” category.為了讓6包，我要在“適當”的類別。 He shared with me what need to be done – cardiovascular exercise, weight training, nutrition as well as personal training.他同意與我有什麼需要做-心血管鍛煉，體能訓練，營養以及個人的培訓。 Good advice to serve as reminder.很好的意見，作為提醒。

I then went to the free weight area.然後我去自由重量區。 Mirrors are here and there with rows of dumbbells and weights.鏡像都在這裡和那裡的排啞鈴和重量。 Squat rack as well as benches (flat, incline and decline) can be found there too.深蹲架以及長椅（平面，傾斜和下降） ，可也有。

At the side of the free weight area, I saw this machine which I have not seen in other gyms.在一邊的自由重量區，我看到了這台機器，我還沒有看到其他健身房。 It is called這就是所謂 AbCoaster AbCoaster . 。 It is used to work out not only the upper abs, but also the lower abs.它是用來工作不僅ABS樹脂上，而且還降低ABS樹脂。 Without second thought, I gave it a try.如果沒有第二個想法，我把它一試。 At the end of upward position, when I hold the position for about 3 seconds, I could feel the squeeze at my abs.在結束向上的位置，當我保持姿勢約3秒鐘，我能感覺到我的擠壓ABS樹脂。
