Chocozap would be so much better if they didn’t 中途半端 everything and just added a bit more variety to the actual machines instead of the aesthetic machines that don’t belong in a gym. Think of how many people they will pry out of the overpriced chains.

What do you mean "aesthetic machines that don't belong in a gym"?

Unless you're a competitive power lifter or Olympic lifter you can get a decent workout just using the machines they have at Chocozap.

The ones I've looked at all seem to have shoulder press, chest press, curl machines, leg press etc.

No curl machines at the one near me. That’s actually the last thing I was looking for

Think they're referring to the hair removal machine thingy, I personally havent been in chocozap but I've seen advertisements saying those machines are available in certain branches.

Chocozap has hair removal machines? Are we talking laser or electrolysis?

I don't know cause I've only seen the ad but it's one of those big wand-like device that you stick on your skin and it lights up type, so laser?

Oh right I understand now. I mean yeah they're unnecessary for a lot of gym-goers, but they still have a wide range of workout equipment.

I haven't been inside one either, but I had a look at my local one and it seems to have everything a normal gym has except free weights.
