Unfortunately there isn't any. Chalong gym used to be pretty good but after the American owner (

Basically instead of a proper gym and douchebag owner Chalong gym is now a semi-bad gym but more friendly owner.....
It has gone from tons of plates, metal music on the stereo and generally a more hardcore tranining/motivating atmosphere to now horrible dance music, fancy but useless machines, fewer plates and employees basically giving you the evil eye everytime you use a bit of gym chalk and/or do a few deadlifts.
All that being said it's still the better of the gyms around here
