Good Juju Barbell Club — Local services in Kuala Lumpur

Welcoming and colorful gym with a comfortable environment, good vibes, and cheerful people. I've been here two times - the first time was for a workout event. Attracted by the coaches' positive vibes during the event, I decided to try out their group class "One More Rep" with Dan. It's such a positive experience for someone who used to find strength workouts intimidating.

Staff: • The staff is welcoming and friendly. She gave me a brief tour of the space after finding out that I am a first-timer.

Coaches: • The event I attended was a great way to experience the vibes of GJBC, most of the coaches were there during the event, and I love their encouraging and cheerful energy. • Dan is very attentive, not only he's guiding and correcting us individually to make sure we're doing the exercises in the correct form, but he's also pushing us to make sure we're getting the best out of the training. Plus he's also full of good vibes all along!

Space: • Aside from the colorful and bold aesthetic I absolutely adore, the space feels comfortable. The bathroom is also very clean, smells good, and is well-maintained, which is an important factor for me, they also have items like lotion and tampons in the female bathroom, which is very accommodating.

The area: • DC Mall is not the best location at the moment as there's still some road construction going on. • I prefer taking the train because the traffic during peak hours is pretty bad, but it's quite inconvenient to take the train here. • Taking a Grab here is quite convenient, the gym is nearby the entrances and easy to locate.

The workout: • I joined the group class "One More Rep". As a strength training beginner and first-timer to the gym, the class is nicely paced, and it's suitable for people with different fitness levels. • We're being paired with a partner for both the event and the class I attended, not sure if it's a practice here. The partnered experience was quite polarized for me(I attended the classes alone), based on the people I got to pair up with. The positive one was that both my partner and I were interacting, working out together, cheering for and checking in on each other, which embodied the good juju of GJBC. Another partner I got to pair up with was nonchalant and avoided communication so the overall experience was quite meh, rest assured the coach was super attentive and helpful. I'd suggest first-timers bring a...

USED TO BE HERE ONE TIME , BUT NEVER AGAIN ! WORST experience ever !!!!!! 👎 for your policy and your team !!!! When I am on the way , I called and inform there’s will be heavy traffic and delay . Then asking me to come for class and see what else your side can do . Then once I arrive at 8.45am , the class is unoccupied and told me that I can’t enter !!!!!!! I already informed I don’t mind to skip the 15 minute after I travel so hard to arrive here on weekday morning. Hello if you can’t do anything for us , just tell us , don’t waste our time ( 2 hour ) to arrive and deny our entry . Again, THE CLASS IS UNOCCUPIED . And the coach was late 5 minute to start ,why can’t tolerate me to enter class when I late for 10 minute !!!! The ridiculous solution provide for me after I travel 2 hours arrive is to ask me rebook again . Waste my time and should tell me earlier if the solution is to REBOOK ! at least I go for other class . 👎👎👎👎👎👎 so now charged my money even I not able to the class while the class is able to have my slot , very dishonest !

Reply to your “perfunctory” response 👇🏻

Good Juju Barbell Club 😌 wow pushing away the responsibilities and don’t even solve the problem . It’s okay , I learned a lesson and thank you for letting me know that this is the way you guys handle miscommunication and mistake! On the highlight, I came this class before, so don’t take me as too fool to deceive on your long explanation to push away the mistake you guys had done ! I saw the class that day and it’s very inhuman to refuse my enter as I saw the class is kind of empty. Anyway let’s came to the end , since you guys already took my money and refuse my entry , really very dishonesty. DO NOT DO TO OTHERS WHAT YOU DON’T WANT TO BE DONE TO YOU. Be...

Update: I've upgraded from doing group classes occasionally to doing PT with Sara twice a week. I'm currrently 5 months in, and this has truly been one of the best decisions I made in 2023. I look forward to every session because I leave feeling strong and supported. And more importantly, I've gotten so much stronger and confident in my lifts. It's been amazing and I look forward to continuing to grow here!

I’ve been here twice for their community classes and I love it so much, so here’s my extensive review of the space.

Firstly, the group classes have excellent programming. I’ve been to many group classes and must say that this strength class hits different. I thoroughly enjoyed the coaching I received from Dennis and Carin during my visits here – they were attentive and provided great cues.

The moment you come in, you’re made to feel like you’re welcomed, so if you’ve ever felt intimidated walking into gyms or fitness studios, just letting you know that you won’t feel that here. Shout out to Sara for always greeting us with the biggest smile.

Beyond the classes and people, it’s a very thoughtful space. There’s a lounge area perfect to chill before you head off, a fully-equipped shower facilities (the ladies’ restroom even comes with feminine hygiene products in case you need one), a towel rental service, and a coffee bar.

And bruh the coffee is A++, better than most of the cafes I’ve been to honestly. They also have pea milk as an alternative milk option, I really enjoyed it!

Thanks for creating this space GJBC. Can’t wait to bring more...
