Top ten blunders of Fitness First Malaysia

1. They, the sales people never have a publish rate, they never disclose price on the phone. Its a taboo to mention price.

2. First 2 questions when enquiring, they will seek to store your phone number.

3. They "Claim" that when you "join on that day" u'll never need to pay for joining fee. (the story stays every single week)

4. Admin fee of RM 95 for god knows why...the free gifts ofcourse!

5. And when you sign up, to get that free gift, a bag maybe you'll need to enter 20 of your friend's name from your phone in order to get the bag. Talk about invading one's privacy.. My advice, next time lie.

6. They're very hush hush on their price talking. Joining is always a 1 year commitment, they want full payment or credit card, which they will forcefully charge even if you asked to stop. Well this is in their fine prints, so we can't really blame them for being smart can we?

7. Their price follows the KLSE index, price may vary from day to day, sales rep to sales rep and clubs to club. If in doubt try this your self. They pick the price from the air, or rather how you're dressed.

8. Yes you pay for the towel, no towels are free you know.

9. Their passport to go overseas is only limited to 20 visits or so. I've had personally use them in Sydney while I was stationed there and this 20 visits ran out. But folks in Sydney are 10 times better than the guys here.

10. Some of their sales rep do not even know how to spell appointment. Not all, but says alot on the way they select people.

wait.. i think it is necessary to add number 11.

11. If you're like me, I travel from time to time and we need to freeze our membership. Just when you thought it was fair enough, freeze in Fitness First's concept is.... (30% of your membership fee, monthly)

So if you're like away for a year, and you've joined just 2 months ago on a 1 year commitment, you'll be paying a couple hundred.
