I'm contemplating on renewing my current 1-year member contract with Fitness First. I have until late February 2008 to decide on it.
Most of my friends are asking me why do I need to think twice to renew a passport membership contract that only requires me to pay RM105 per-month. It's something I believe every commercial gym goer will be begging on their knees to get such package.
The things that really make my head spinning to think about are:
Cons- The nearest Fitness First clubs are 15km away from my home, which is IOI and Leisure Mall respectively. Driving 15km which could take up to 30minutes due to heavy trafic or JAM is no fun. Besides, petrol price will be increasing in 2008, plus with the toll rate, I'll be having less pocket money to spend. Used to drop by the gym on the way coming home from college, but due to various reasons, I've hardly do so.
- Getting a back injury on August and caused me not able to workout regularly started to make me think about paying for nothing. Although members are allowed to freeze their account, but you'll have to go one long hell of a ride before getting it frozen.
- I don't like working out in air-conditioned environment.
Pro- I enjoy group exercise classes. Especially RPM.
- I don't just workout in the gym, but I observe how the Personal Trainers there work with clients. It somehow broadens my perspective on being a Personal Trainer.
- Having girls with tight fitting attire in sight improves my blood circulation.
I'm currently waiting for news from Fitness First in regards to another branch in Mines that is supposed to be opened by December 2007(information according to the Membership Consultant when I signed up). Now it's already December, but still no sign of Fitness First at The Mines, or even any news about it.
Opening of a branch at The Mines will affect my decision making a lot more.
YOU, please give me some thoughts about it. Yeah, I mean YOU!!!!
