What kind of gym is Plus Gym 24 Health PT Geomdan?

Getting there from Geomdan Sageori Station, and parking

The gym is a 1-minute walk from Exit 3 of Geomdan Sageori Station, on the 3rd floor of Geomdan KB Building. You can park in the building's underground lot, and 2 hours of free parking are provided.

It's on the 3rd floor of Geomdan KB Building.

1:1 PT starts with a consultation and an InBody check

These are the trainers who lead the 1:1 PT at Plus Gym. Wow, everyone has such impressive muscles!

As soon as I arrived, a trainer gave me a consultation. After a few questions, they put together an exercise program for my goals and offered a solution.

You can also have your InBody (body composition) measured before exercising.

How are the facilities and hygiene?

Plus Gym Geomdan has the latest equipment, and the space is pleasant and really clean, which put me in a good mood. They say they run hygiene checks at least twice a day on every machine, the showers, changing rooms, floors and even air quality, so every spot customers touch stays fresh.

The machines are also spaced generously, so it never felt cramped and I could work out comfortably. The staff were all friendly too, which I liked.

This is the entrance to the men's and women's changing rooms, with lockers provided. The showers are private booths, so your privacy is protected.

How I learned the dumbbell back exercise

In 1:1 PT, my trainer taught me a back exercise with dumbbells. I did 3 sets of 12 reps.

• Set the bench to a 45-degree incline.
• Don't sit. Keep your legs straight and rest your chest against the bench so it reaches the end of the bench.
• When you grip the dumbbells, your palms face each other (the backs of your hands point to the side, not forward).
• Don't look down at the floor; tuck your chin without dropping your head.
• Keep your traps relaxed and pull your whole arm back behind you. Focus on your back.

I need to remember all this when I train on my own!

How to use the rowing machine

Next up was the rowing machine. You sit on the seat, strap your feet in and grab the handle. Then you open up your upper body and slowly pull your arms back behind you. I could clearly feel exactly where it hit my back.

After 1 hour of PT

The 1:1 PT at Plus Gym Geomdan set my form properly and explained how to exercise in an easy-to-follow way, so I could really feel the muscles I was working. The 1 hour flew by.

I used to find the gym boring and no fun, but now I think it's something I really need. As I get older, I want to build muscle with strength training and a base level of fitness, and end up with a healthy, great body. Training properly with a trainer like this made the gym fun, and I wanted to do more.

It runs 24 hours at a reasonable price, so you can go whenever you feel like working out, which is convenient and easy to get to. With the pleasant environment and the wide range of latest machines, it's no pressure to go alone, and I think trying PT with a professional trainer is a good idea too.

Plus Gym 24 Health PT Geomdan is at 455 Geomdan-ro, Geomdan KB Building, 3rd floor, Units 301 and 302, Seo-gu, Incheon, 140 m from Exit 3 of Geomdan Sageori Station. As a 24-hour gym it's open every day of the year, so you can work out any time.
