Fitness First

[gray07]

@snowyice eto siya sis,
Monthly 3k
Joining fee 1k
Admin fee 1.5k
Remaining days of july - 800php

Discounted daw lahat yan, true ba to sis or eto talaga yung usual rates nila?
Ok naman yng staff so far, thats in ff robinson, sana ok din [textspeak!] sa northedsa, i'll be attending yoga class there today.

^I don't think you got a good deal. When I joined FF, monthly lang binayaran ko. No joining fee, no admin fee. Try to see if they can offer this to you too.

[snowyice]

@gray07  when I joined FF I paid for the joining fee 2.1k and monthly yun lang (25% discount due to my mercury drug citibank card)...sa iyo may joining na may admin pa hindi totoo yan niloloko ka lang ng sales with the monthly fee fix na yun hindi sales ang nagsasabi nun depende na sa FF yun kung ano ang promo nila for the month.

@clermont good for you if didn't pay for it

[gray07]

Hay, too late na sis, they had it written in their pamplet/flier eh, yung breakdown...tsktsk. Pero thanks anyway.
And I had a good experience naman on my first day, sarap ng yoga and body balance at north edsa  . Positive karma!

[toocrazy]

^ at least you had a good first day. bec yea... di talaga discounted, parang regular fees lang. although i suspect kasi short term lang contract mo so mas mataas fees vs us na open-end.

enjoy FF tho, sulitin mo at wag magpakulit sa mga PTs.

[snowyice]

^^maganda naman sa FF sis after mo jan sasabihin mo ang pangit na ng ibang gym

Don't ever ever try to buy Fitness First promo product. They are only using it to force you to buy thier expensive full service and get your card info to force you to do it. Try to google first this company and find out how bad this company. make research to avoid regret.

Here's some of the link:

I bought one of FF promo last December I never used it because there are lot of condition before they let me use it. Ang hirap pa dito napaaway pa ko kasi andun na ko sa SM fairvoew Fitness First to avail yung binili ko..To my disappointment the reception told me that I cannot avail it not until I call thier office and set an appointment with thier account executive.. ang sabi ko naman why not to set the appointment by phone pa andito na rin lang naman ko so I think I can talk to our AE and arange my sched... But they insist I need to call first.. What the heck what is the diference between call and personal meeting..Dahil sa galit ko I requested to talk to the manager. pero pag kausap ko sa manager minura nya lang ako and even shouted me "Get out of my place".

[looping1002]

Slimmers World is far better enough without hidden cost.. No credit card without your knowledge and more affordable service.

[Cocoyow]

Hay goodluck talaga sa mga members, siguro swerte na walang bad experience sa gym na yan..

[gray07]

@looping hala sis ang hard naman nung manager. Sana nagalit ka din  grabe yun ah.

[snowyice]

@ looping1002 sis subject to termination yun pwede mo siya isumbong sa head office yung friend ko mahilig magsumbong sa head office  they take action naman talaga if you do.

[pressany]

I'm also a member of FF, though corporate ang rate ko. I signed up sa Ortigas but I usually work out sa North Edsa.

@Gray07 - sis, regular at hindi discounted yung binayaran mo, but since bayad mo na, I'd say na enjoyin mo na lang and imaximize ang gym. 

@looping - this is wrong.  Magcomplain ka sa main office, write a letter and send a copy to the branch para marealize nilang mali ang ginawa nila.  Yes, probably may mali ka rin (kahit idiotic ang reason nila na you have to call to set an appointment) pero hindi tamang sigawan ka ng manager.

baka kay manager yung ff, sis looping... 

kidding aside, hindi tama yun. in fairness to all ff clubs na i've been to na, okay naman silang lahat. favorite ko yung ortigas, kahit na mejo effort pag pumupunta dun. usually sa the block kami. come to think of it, sulit naman sya kung gagamitin lahat ng facilities. may mga clubs lang talaga na suwangit yung mga managers, kala mo kung sino.

[snowyice]

wala nman silang dapat ipagmayabang no! 15k lang ang sweldo nila if I have not mistaken

I do not want to sound smug about it pero so far, okay experience ko sa FF RCBC. When I signed up last December they gave the whole month of December for free tapos I just paid for the Bodyfirst and Membership fee for January. Sana pala hindi ko na lang binili yung bodyfirst kasi hindi naman pala siya mandatory. Pero what I did was I went to the gym more than 8 times per month so nabawi ko din yung binayad ko for body first last April. Siguro, swertehan na lang sa promo na inoffer ng FF during that month. I also used my cc pala pero I pay before the start of the month so they don't charge my card. The PT's there are also good, they don't force you to sign up with them. My only pet peeve is I noticed na the a lot of the veteran PTs hardly greet you, unless you've been a member for years  na siguro. But I don't mind, it's just that its awkward at times. Anyway, so far, so good sa FF RCBC. I like it better than Trinoma.

[looping1002]

The FF manage in SM fairview is foreigner so maybe he feel superior  than us Filipino kaya ganun [textspeak!] tono. Anyway wala naman tayong Anti Discrimination Law sa Pinas kaya hindi ko sya pwedeng kasohan unlike sa US he he he.. it's  really a bad experience in FF kala ko napaganda service nila..

I search thier head office contact no. pero wala akong makita ni isa maybe tinatago nila to avoid complaint such like this kasi marami nang complaint sa FF most especially credit card dispute.. I emailed ten times via thier websites pero ni isa wala man lang reply.. So Maybe ganyan na talaga ang FF. So i stick to Slimmer World besides napakamura sa kanila.  I usally pay 1500/month which i always availed promo like buy 3 take 3 and no need to have a credit card on thier file. Peace of mind no auto charge! Ang mahirap lang sa Slimmers thats make me  try sa FF ay limited ang branch nila most especially I'm  residing in fairview and I just work online at home. Kaya pinakamalapit sa kin ay Slimmers World SM North Edsa.

[mafiapenguins]

have you tried sa FF sa The Block?

btw, here's the number sa head office nila +63(2)8481929. sa citibank tower yan sa salcedo village makati.

[looping1002]

Thanks sis, I'll call them kasi gusto ko rin refund the money that I paid..

For this thinking about enrolling in platinum branches... Parang 800 pesos ata ang difference monthly. Perks lang ata are the towels, shorts and shirt that are available for use. Might as well just bring your own and save money.

Ditto.  I'm also a member of FF RCBC and so far, my experience with them is very good.  The trainers, receptionist and the manager are okay and friendly.   I love this branch
