The Ronghua branch is in Taichung North District, just a three-minute walk from the Xinmin High School (Jianxing Road) bus stop, making it very convenient to reach. While the gym is on the smaller side, it's clean, minimalist, and comfortable, focusing primarily on free weights and classes. It provides lockers, a water dispenser, and clean restrooms. This Taichung North District gym offers only coached sessions, including one-on-one and one-on-two private personal training. Group training sessions are held twice a week, and no memberships are sold.

All services are by appointment only. ### 吾勤開練 Striver Fitness Studio Mystery Shopper's Take Review #Quickly pinpointing issues and breaking through plateaus REVIEWED BY [Livia](https://www.twosevenths.com/en/tag/Livia/) Striver Fitness Studio specializes in one-on-one personal training. While the space is compact, it's fully equipped and can accommodate about four coaching sessions simultaneously. Each session begins with the coach thoroughly reviewing the client's background, including lifestyle, work habits, fitness goals, and any powerlifting records. Ricky attended a session to address a plateau he'd hit in shoulder training. Through movement assessment, the coach identified the core issues: tightness in Ricky's pectoralis major and thoracic spine, coupled with insufficient serratus anterior control, leading to compensatory arm protraction. With the coach's careful guidance on activation and relaxation, Ricky saw immediate improvement and successfully completed movements he previously couldn't. Throughout the training, the coach quickly identified issues from movement patterns and provided clear, easy-to-understand explanations, making it accessible even for beginners. This Taichung North District gym is ideal for anyone looking to break through training plateaus or needing expert guidance.

This gym is distinctly themed like an airport, with its environment split across two floors. The first floor is dedicated to fixed-weight machines, while the second floor focuses on free weights. It also offers lockers with keypads, a water dispenser, and clean shower facilities. This Taichung North District Gym provides diverse services, including one-on-one and one-on-two personal training sessions, rental space for independent trainers, and single-visit access for self-training. The process is straightforward: no special booking is required for single visits—simply pay at the venue. However, personal training trial sessions do require advance booking. Payment options include cash, bank transfer, or third-party installment plans. ### 台中肌場 Mystery Shopper's Take Review #Airport-themed gym for more fun workouts REVIEWED BY [Livia](https://www.twosevenths.com/en/tag/Livia/) Taichung Jichang is tucked away in a residential area, so keep an eye out for the sign. As an airport-themed gym, it's full of unique touches, like a bulletin board resembling an airport departures screen, doors shaped like airplane windows, and airplane-shaped lights, all creating a fun, immersive training atmosphere. The first floor of the gym has fixed-weight machines and four treadmills, while the second floor is entirely dedicated to free weights. The equipment on the first floor covers both upper and lower body training and is very comprehensive, meeting most workout needs. However, due to the high ceilings, the kettlebell area in the corner can get a bit warm, and the air conditioning on the second floor isn't strong enough during off-peak hours, making it a little stuffy. Still, the overall environment and restrooms are very clean and tidy. Overall, this Taichung North District gym is a very comfortable, mid-sized fitness studio. It's distinctive, well-equipped, and reasonably priced, making it highly recommended for residents in the area.
