FITNESS FIRST People! Dito Tayo!

[Lightspeed]

Napansin ko lang na may threads ang ating friends from Slimmer's World and Gold's Gym so di siguro dapat magpahuli ang mga FITNESS FIRST customers.

Which branch do you go to? At what times? What can you say about their services and amenities?

Ako, I go to their Ayala-Makati branch on the weekdays after work (mga 7 pm onward) and at their Eastwood City branch on weekends dahil mas malapit sa house.

I love going to Fitness First. I like their clean environment, their classes and their Motivators are always on the prowl ready to assist neophyte gym members like me.

Plus, I love the unlimited Iced Tea and the yummy bananas.

So, Fitness First people...post na kayo dito!!

I love Fitness First! I've been going to the Makati branch the past 4 months now, usually around lunchtime. The gym membership there is really such a good investment.

What classes do you recommend? I've only tried the Body Pump class, and the Body Balance class which is also good. I'd like to try out the other classes, if my schedule permits.

Haven't tried out a single class there yet but my friend recommends the Cosmic Cycling... a great way to lose those unwanted fats. Just have to be consistent lang. Laging maraming tao rin sa Taebo so siguro I'll check it out din.

i recommend pilates.

I also go to Fitness First Makati during weekdays and Libis branch on weekends.

di ko alam may pexers *** sa gym!! hmm.. may cuteys pa naman ako nakikita.. i wonder if he posts here sa pex.. hehe

I enrolled at fitness first two weeks ago. I'm really impressed with the gym's facilities and ambiance, nakaka entice talaga magwork-out --something my old gym wasn't able to do. Although I found the gym fees a little too steep at the begininng, it's really worth it naman.

I work out at the Libis branch, but I heard that the Makati branch is bigger so I'm thinking of paying extra to get the pasport card next month since the Makati branch is just as far as the Libis branch from my place.

So far, I've only tried the Body Balance class. It was ok, although the class was a bit too advanced for me. I'm thinking of trying out the cardiobox class. The cosmic cycle class is good too, or so i've heard, if you want to shed some serious fat. I'd also like to try that soon.

weee finally, FF people! i work out at least 4x a week and only during weekdays. dati after office hours ako pumupunta but sobrang puno talaga parang may party every night. now, i work out from 6.30 - 7.30 in the morning. big diff talaga in terms of the volume of people working out.

question, you guys have gym buddies? ako kasi i like going to the gym by myself because sometimes nakaka-distract lang yung may kasama ka. yun lang

[Lightspeed]

Gym buddies?

Yeah! I brought along my three other officemates to Fitness First, and I managed to get a former schoolmate to enrol. So with these 4 referrals, Fitness First gave me one month free.

I just noticed that the growth in Fitness First membership has been quite phenomenal. Sa office building ko nga, I already see a growing number of people sporting the trademark blue FF knapsack on certain days.

nakakainis sometimes you lose your momentum kasi you have to wait for the equipment you need to use

I just want to know how much the membership fee is at FF and how much the monthly fee is.

Thanks!

Hi BaBy_gUrL_09!

Well, officially their Joining Fee is P10,000 pero they have assorted marketing schemes and, well, I used this Globe tie-up that they had and my joining fee just came down to P2,200 .

For the monthly dues, you can choose either Home or Passport. If you choose Home, you only get access to the Fitness First branch where you signed-up. It costs about P1,800 monthly.

If you choose Passport, you get access to all their branches (i.e. Ayala-Makati, Eastwood City, Alabang) and this costs about P1,900.

Hope this helps.

I really like the cleanliness of the place. Especially the locker room and showers. What i dont like are the shower doors. Laging sira. One time, i got scared coz the door got stuck. It would have been extremely embarassing if I'd had to call someone for help. In fact, a friend of mine, a lady, got stuck in the shower for 10 mins. The attendant even had the nerve to tell her "sana hindi nyo na ni-lock". What a stupid person! Eh di sana hindi na sila nag lagay ng shower door! After that, my friend stopped going.

I also like the lounge. Medyo marami nga lang tao dun lagi. Did u notice that they always run out of Bananas. Natatawa nga ako kasi yung mga tao, parang hindi nakaka kain ng banana. Pag lagay pa lang dun sa lalagyan, agawan na! hehehe.

hi! 1 month pa lang ako sa fitness first. i go to their alabang branch during weekdays coz it's closer to where i work, tpos weekends sa makati naman. i like their cardio funk class! sarap ng dance steps! what i also like is the free sauna! and free iced tea! and free bananas! and the free headsets! hindi nakakatamad mag-rotex or treadmill kasi nakakanood ka ng movies. and free overnyt rental of vcds!

alam nyo ba...shhh... nakuha ko ang joining fee ng P500 (from P10k yun ha)... hehehe... oks diba?

[anne06]

How did you get it for P500? Please let me know. P10,000 is too steep. Although the monthly fee is reasonable. Thanks!

[confusedguy]

how much does it cost now to enroll in FF? how much is the one time membership fee and the monthly fee?

[natalie_sod]

promo yun e. yung 1 ko ngang friend para lang mahikayat nyang magjoin eh wala ng joining fee, meron pang jacket!

[rwchick]

hay naku! ako i'm disappointed! i joined may 2002. nung 1st 2-3months ok pa naman. i go to makati FF in the mornings around 9am. Not so many people. may hot shower, working shower locks, bananas, shampoo,soap, conditioner.
pero nung october, parang pumangit na! sobrang dami na nilang members ni-recruit without adding or improving the facilities!!

didn't you notice how weird the showers are? malakas yung tubig sa start then pahina nang pahina, hanggang mawala.. tapos biglang lakas na naman then hina ulit!
also, wala nang conditioner at suwerte mo kung may shampoo pang naiwan!

my sister goes to the gym in the evenings and she's complaining na kulang daw lagi yung lockers!

i hope FF improves it services coz i'm really thinking of terminating my membership!

ay pahabol pa... yung membership fee, racket lang yan ng mga marketing staff! i paid 1,000 got a free bag, two towels, a shirt (which i still haven't gotten), a water bottle, a headset, 3 complimentary gym passes + 5 25-minute massages (which i wasn't able to use)
basta, i-sweet talk mo dapat yung marketing - pa hard to get ka and they'll bombard you with freebies just to get you to join!
