WGU is life!
I could still remember, me and junhao standing beside the ab-rotation machine, when we saw the 2 guys wearing that WGU shirt, talking to one another while lifting weights. Their sleeves were almost splitting every time they raised their hands. Their humongous arms almost the size of our faces. They were terrifying... so fit even '369' gang members will run home and cry to their mothers.The bold words 'WOODLANDS GYM UNDERGROUND' printed on the back of their shirts inspired us to work even harder to get into the club. Upon that day, our passion to become fitter grew stronger every gym session.
The woodlands gym once existed inside the woodlands stadium, under the seats of the audiences, and it was a place where gym enthusiasts from all over woodlands gather to work out. After several years, they decided to close down the gym and build a new one next to the swimming pool. The legends then decided to form a private association before the closing down of the underground gym, which is also known as 'WGU: Woodlands Underground Gym' as of today.
Many of the legends have left their passion for gym-ing after the demolition of the old gym, but there are some who still pay a visit to the new gym beside the swimming pool. It is a rare sight to see people wearing the WGU shirt nowadays inside the gym, as it is occupied by youths of the new generation who visit the place to keep fit.
WGU members thought that the once, strong drive for gym-ing in woodlands must have been abandoned when the old gym was demolished... but they were wrong.
Only yesterday, me, junhao and yongxiang went through the narrow walkway inside the stadium to find ourselves in front of the old gym's door. We could almost hear the sounds of dumb-bells clinking each other when we opened the door.
