Di ka nag-iisa, sis.  Ako nga monthly ko jan sa Platinum is 3,800.  Open membership kasi ako tapos passport pa.  Si Kamna rin pala ang nag-close ng sales sa yo.

Hey, if you need a gym buddy, let me know.  Pramis, masipag ako.  I usually work out in the morning if it's a weekday tapos pag Saturday, I attend the balance, belly dancing and hip hop class (wala yung magaling na hip hop instructor ngayon) so they replaced it with jam.

Hope to see you around!

^^Welcome to FF RCBC hehe Hindi ako masipag lately pero I usually workout pag weekday sa morning until after lunch tapos pag weekend sa afternoon na. FF RCBC ang pinaka okay na branch for me kaya I don't mind paying that much. Sinusulit ko na lang talaga. Pag hindi ako magwork out don na ako maliligo before I go to work. Tsaka madalas ako magswim and wala naman pool sa nirerent ko na place. Gusto ko nga gawin na lang home club yung FF RCBC kasi I don't go to the other clubs anymore kaso lang pag bitin ako sa hip hop ng FF RCBC I go to the other clubs din sometimes. If you also need a gym buddy pm mo din ako sis.

^Sis sway716, sayang nga wala si Gary until November. Siya na lang natitira na magaling na hip hop instructor sa FF RCBC tapos nawala pa. I don't like body jam pa naman so I don't go to the gym on Saturdays anymore pero I need to go back on going to the gym on Saturdays para hindi sayang membership. Sis, paano mo nasusulit yung membership mo? I want to get tips from other FF RCBC members. hehe Tamad ako lately e.

@sway716: pinag-iisipan ko pa kung magupgrade ako to passport...from QC kc ako so weekday lang talaga ako makapunta FF RCBC...FF Trinoma ang malapit samin, kaso not sure kung makakapaggym ako pag weekends...

@cheaca: morning din plan ko na workout just before I got to work... 7:30 - 9:00 ang plan ko... actually nagbody start na ako kahapon kaya eto sobrang sakit na ng katawan ko especially my arms...kaya eto absentna agad sa 2nd day ng workout...hehe...

bukas ulit siguro ako mag-gym...if ever baka umattend ako dun sa Latin na group-X...2nd session ng bodystart ko bukas eh...

[cheaca]

^Sis, Latin yung nakalagay sa sched pero ginagawa din Retro yon. I'll try to attend tomorrow so I can meet you. Wala pa ako nameet na taga GT e. Masaya yon sis. Kailangan lang lagi ka mag-attend para makabisado mo yung steps.

May prob nga ako kasi I bought a ticket for the Fitness Explosion kaso lang my  best friend is asking me to accompany her when we she visits her province on Saturday. Same day ng Fitness Explosion.

[gullible]

^sige sis...reah true name ko just in case maka-attend tayo pareho bukas:D

[sway716]

@sis cheaca and @sis gullible, naku ngayon ko lang nabasa posts nyo.  Mag-aattend din ako ng Latin tomorrow.  Hope to see you around!  Pano ko kaya kayo makikilala?

@sis cheaca, na-sad din ako ng sobra na wala si gary ng 2 months.  Siya na nga lang talaga pinupuntahan ko sa FF RCBC pag Saturday eh.  Super favorite ko sya and I can't wait for him to be back.

@sis gullible, sino ang trainer na na-assign sa yo?

[sway716]

@sis cheaca, I also wanna attend that fitness xplosion thing kaso la ko kasama.  Let me know kung kelangan mo ng buddy para makabili ako ng tix.

[gullible]

@sis cheaca: sis umattend ka ba ng latin class kanina? sorry naman na-late ako...9am na ako nakarating...may nasira kasi na train...

@sway716: naka-attend ka ba kanina sis? parang mahirap nga tayo magkakilala...hehe...you can view may pics sa wedsite namin...yung nasa signature ko...hehe...

Hi sis! Naka-attend ako kanina ng latin class.  Sayang wala ka pala.  next time, i'll try to find you.  I stayed at FF until 11:30am coz I have a PT session with my trainer.  BTW, sino trainer mo?

[blackyellowsad]

I've been a member of this gym for a while and so far, satisfied naman ako sa equipment and services nila. Yes, I've heard the horror stories about Fitness First pero it never discouraged me from experiencing it myself. I'm glad I did not pass any judgment first based on chismis without trying it kasi enjoy naman ako working out in Fitness First. But here are some things I've learned along the way and hopefully it may help some people out there who are thinking of joining:

1. Don't be pressured by ff personal trainers who offer you their services. When I first joined, I didn't even claim my free sessions with my pt. Nagpa-guide na lang ako with my friend who knows a lot about working out. If you don't know any people, go ahead use the free sessions. Then gayahin mo na lang kahit ikaw mag isa ang gumawa. Just don't be bullied in buying any services you don't want. From time to time, I've been approached by ff pt offering me sessions. I politely say no. If makulit, suot agad ng ipod headphones and pretend I don't hear them. 


2. If you're a new member, bring a friend. It's really intimidating to go to a gym and work out alone. When I was new in ff, I was so intimidated on how to operate those cardio machines. Sometimes your friend can even motivate you to go to the gym on those days when you feel like pigging out in front of the tv. But I've noticed that when that "hiya" wears off, those people who can work out without any companion are the ones who successfully lost the weight and kept the weight off. On their own, motivated na sila at di na dependent on other people.


3. Garbage in, garbage out. Whatever effort you put in your work out is equivalent to whatever weight loss you're going to have. Ang dami kong members nakikita na walang ginawa kundi mag kwentuhan at mag tawanan especially during exercise classes. Minsan irritating kasi maingay at nakakadistract. Sana nagstay na lang sila sa lounge at dun na lang magkwentuhan. May unlimited coffee pa 


4. I like attending rpm classes. That class made me lose a lot of weight! Sineryoso ko rin kasi yung rpm, LOL! I really followed the instructor at di ko talaga dinadaya. Kasi feeling ko, wala kang dinadaya kundi sarili mo if you don't follow it di ba? I particularly like attending Hannche's rpm class in either FF Trinoma or FF North Edsa. Magaling siyang magmotivate and very clear yung instructions niya. Highly recommended! 


5. Try everything that the gym can offer. I tried almost every class before knowing what really works for me. I also alternate days in attending classes and in using the machines. That way, di ako madaling magsawa.


Hope this helps!

Hi sis! Naka-attend ako kanina ng latin class.  Sayang wala ka pala.  next time, i'll try to find you.  I stayed at FF until 11:30am coz I have a PT session with my trainer.  BTW, sino trainer mo?

si lyn ang trainer ko...di ako nag-avail ng pt session kasi nga tight ang budget ko dahil malapit na wedding...hehe...sa monday, mag-isa na lang ako...gagawan naman daw ako ni PT ng program...

[kikaygimikera]

Hi mga sis. Me and my bf gained a LOT of weight after being together for a year and I wanted to start going to gym kaso nga lang my BF is very shy gusto kong makahanap ng gym na suitable for both of us, do mashadong matao, and di siya mahihiya mag work out. Does FF give trials? If so, please let me know. And if hindi po, may mga other gyms ba kayong recommended?

Yup, they do. You can actually "walk in" in any ff branches. Free yung trial workout, you can come in anytime kahit wala kang appointment or kausap from ff. A membership consultant will talk to you and guide you thru the gym. Don't forget to bring workout clothes. Sa simula lang yung hiya, in time you'll get the hang of it. =)

[sway716]

Hi sis gullible!  Oks lang yun that you will not avail of the PT sessions.  May program naman pala na ibibigay.  Anyway, let me know if you need a gym buddy para kasing parehas tayo ng sked ng punta dun.   See ya!

[gullible]

^yup, sis...i need a gym buddy especially now na wala na akong PT...hehe...reah true name ko...ikaw? pm kita sa sunday night kung tuloy ako sa monday:)

[mizzybebz]

I wanna join FF sana. Robinsons Metro East pinakamalapit sakin. My prob is wala talaga akong makakasama Kasi I live with my aunt at napakalayo ng house niya Sa mga friends ko. Kaya parang nahihiya ako mag-gym na nag-isa

[kikaygimikera]

Thanks sis. I inquired sa FF Fort branch and they told me until today sept30 walang joining fee? Sayang naman gusto ko pa lang ma try eh.

[sway716]

^yup, sis...i need a gym buddy especially now na wala na akong PT...hehe...reah true name ko...ikaw? pm kita sa sunday night kung tuloy ako sa monday:)

My real name is Katie.  My sked is kinda flexible so I could work out with you on Monday.  I'll be going to the gym tomorrow since I have a PT session.... I got another 18 sessions with my trainer, Frances.  Anyway, hope to see you there.
