My resolution to go back to boxing starts next week. And yep I’m going back to Maic’s Gym. I am not impressed by upscale gyms and I would never opt to go there just as a form of status symbol.

Maic’s Gym is located in Marikina.  Along Marcos highway, you will see Robinson’s Metro East and you just have to take the over pass to coross to the side of Fiesta Villa. Just walk straight ahead on that street perpendicular to Marcos highway. Shortly after the basketball court you’ll see the gym. They have totally affordable rates and surprisingly good facility. You’ll be impressed as well with their cardio work out machines and their weight lifting equipments and other exercise basics like rowing machines, pull up bar, stationary bikes etc.

The second floor is an area dedicated to aerobics and boxing. Oh and you’d be surprised that they also have an oval!

I can’t find their contact number, but I’m sure you can find it in their facebook account.

The clock is ticking and in less than 3 months time, I’m supposed to lose more than 20lbs. I guess that’s a fairly feasible project. I still have a couple of items I need to cross out on my list until I can finally start working out again. Here they are:

• Find a decent gym with reasonable rates for their boxing program.
• Buy mbt shoes as a work out shoes, since I just realized I don’t have any rubber shoes anymore.
• Buy perhaps a couple of jogging pants and leggings.
• Buy a bottle of fat burner to go with the work out.

Sounds like a plan, eh? I certainly hope to start on it by September at the most, so help me God. hehe
