DO NOT JOIN FITNESS FIRST!
Warning! DO NOT JOIN FITNESS FIRST!! Why? I am a competitive sportsman and a white collar employee. Was paying $160 a month for their lousy service. Why lousy? Because the staff are all liars.
I travel here and there, which is why i signed up, so guess what: in europe YOU DONT GET ATTIRE, TOWEL OR EVEN WATER. u have to pay a couple of euros for a bottle of water.
Service is inconsistent. Was not informed beforehand. Some branches dont provide attire, others close early even on weekends.
A month before i wanted to quit, one staff told me i can only quit in the next month. A month later, i was suddenly informed that you need one month advance notice to quit. The rude response given was "well you should have remembered that when you sign up!"
Despite being given wrongful information by their own staff, they still continued to charge my card.
One last thing, lucky i avoided it but fees for existing members suddenly went up. Your membership is not final. They will tweak the cost as and when they like.
You will be better off going somewhere else and using the difference in money to buy your sporting gear which you can use elsewhere.
If you want a cheaper way, sign up for fitness first overseas in indonesia or other countries, where they only charge 40 per month and get the international pass to use the gyms here.
Ignore their promotions like free one week or free one month or free 4 personal training. All gyms offer this.
I wrote this to warn others so they wont make the same mistake i did. Avoid fitness first!
At that price, heck you can even sign up anytime fitness ($100/m)and true fitness ($70/m) at the same time.
Fitness first is also just full of executives sitting down on the machine to play with their phones taking selfies etc. If that is the fitness environment you want, go ahead.
