Fitness First Leisure Mall and IOI Mall Quickview(without Photos :-p)

My last post I mentioned that I would like to review Fitness First branches all around Klang Valley. However, up to now, I've only trained in two FF's branches, Leisure Mall, Cheras and IOI Mall, Puchong. I've lost count how many times I trained in Leisure Mall, but I only trained twice at IOI Mall. The reason, Leisure Mall is nearer to my house and I would pass by there going and coming back from college via MRR2 highway.

Anyway, Let's get a quick review. Sorry, No photos. According to their policy, members are not allowed to take photos of their premises. Not sure if it's allowed upon special request. Check it out yourself.


Fitness First Leisure Mall (FFLM)

Divided into two floors;

Cardio Theatre weight resistant machines, stretching area, Group Exercise Studio, Juice Bar and Lounge is located at the lower ground.

For those who wants to lift free weights, would need to go to the upper floor, where the Cosmic Cycling Studio is also located. However, there is no squat rack here. You would need to use Smith Machine to perform squats or just the barbell without rack's support.


Fitness First IOI Mall (FFIO)

Everything is located in just 1 floor. Nothing much more for me to mention, every equipment is standard I guess? Similar to FFLM, but they have Squat Rack. But I dissapointed that the Squat Rack's spotter could not be adjusted. So that means you can't go too low on performing your squat.

Just use the Smith Machine for squats then :P



Things they have in common are:
  • Separate Male and Female Sauna and Steam (Inside changing area)
  • Shower Gel, Shampoo are provided. Including hair dryer.
  • Plastic bags are available for you to put your soaked clothes.

Nothing much for me to complain about now. For first timers who need someone to bring you around in the gym, just go to the Personal Trainer's desk and request for a Gym Introduction.
