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!!!!

It has been a long time.

dude, its johan here, about your fitness first, just to give my opinion on it, its not worth it for you to go there, since you many cons and pros. I used to go to fitness first because of almost the same reasons as yours (except my number 2 reason was cuz of the chicks there with tight fitting clothes haham yours u put it at no 3 :p). Since you dont like air conditioned places, if your target is to just build muscle and lose fat, just go join a small gym that has basic equipments for you to do that. Or buy the equipments like dumbbells and exercise at home. Many things can be learned at bodybuilding.com. Shouldn't be a problem to you since you shud know most of the basic exercises already. It's not worth the money to pay RM105 per month when you can save the money. Im sure u already puas lookin at all the chicks there. Lol, if I were you, its time to get serious now if you want results.
Thank you for the feedback Johan, a constructive one as well :)
I've been thinking about it and decided to keep my account with Fitness First. I'll still be able to access into FF by march, and not binded by contract anymore once 1 year is up. And with that, I can terminate my contract ANYTIME.
I'm however still attracted to their Group X classes, especially RPM and Yoga. I'm not a bodybuilder anyway. More of a cardio guy.
