i seriously seriously need to work out. no kidding but im getting tired easily. And the extra spare tire im carrying! UH OH! It has been long since my fitness training few months back. but no chance to do exercise!
Then just a month ago, california fitness invited me to join their gym package becuase they are opening one in Sunway Pyramid. For students its RM99 per month. unlimited access to the gym. and its already open!
In a way its good because everytime i finish class i can find my way to Sunway Pyramid to work out. However my main priority is still to lose weight. After ‘almost’ signing up with them, i asked them clearly
AdrianC: Errr, does this package comes with a fitness trainer?
*****: Yes. Our fitness consultant will help you with your fitness goals. We can arrange it for you.
AdrianC: Okay. It sounds good. How is it arranged?
*****: Its based on the fitness trainer. He will plan everything for you and monitor your progress. You can meet with him a week once or so. You can arrange the appointments.
AdrianC: Are there any additional costs?
*****: (trying to change topic) Why dont you try to pay the deposit first then we arrange everything for you later after you join us. (its been a few days already that me and my dad was not ready to pay because we wanted to know more before we commit ourselves to the 1 year gym package and she asked me for deposit! scammy!)
Its good that you can use the equipments there. But without a fitness trainer you might be doing it the wrong way and ended up having lopsided balls(one ball muscular!) Except you go with experienced gym friends. It seems that you have to pay quite a huge sum if you want the fitness trainer. Another attraction is that you get to go to a variety of classes. kickboxing lar, nipple pinching la(jk) and all sorts of activities. But of course it requires commitment. How often can you go to the classes. To me, its really inconvenient because if i do need to work out on weekend, I stay far away which is in Klang (30 minutes drive without the traffic jam). Of course, the spa and the pretty girls you can see there is a total TEMPTATION.
Ended up we didnt want to go for the gym package. We went ahead to check out YFitness instead.
YFITNESS claims they are the biggest in Klang. Which gives me good impression at first. However much to my disappointment, BIG isnt really BIG. compared to other fitness centers, it is just small. However thats not the part that pisses me and my dad off.
Halfway during our guided tour which actually can end in 3 minutes(thats how small the place is), thet guy just went on ahead to talk to another guy who came in after leaving us standing there doing nothing for around 5 minutes,.
WHAT? HELOOO. at least say sorry or excuse me? He just went on ahead. Then he came back when we were back to our seats ourselves. We scolded him and he apologised. So we went on talking bout the plans.
RM85 per month.
Dad: How bout free trials? To see if we can get used to everything around here. Other fitnesscenters are offering us free trials about a week or so.
***: Uhm one day trial.
Me: ONE DAY?
***: UNLIMITED! you can come even before we open the door and leave when we close shop.
me and dad: !!!!!!! Okay we going off. no time.
Helooooo Mr smart guy operator of the biggest fitness center in KLANG, Fitness First is offering us trials for 1 week and they have been begging us to go for the past few months. Just that we didnt consider it since its hidden far in Taipan. Even CALIFORNIA FITNESS has a 1 week trial. But you give ONE DAY and yet you say such a cheap sentence? What as if we really want to go for the free trial at you fitness center now? PTUII.
Im telling you, if this is the way they operate business, they will forever be the biggest loser. until california fitness opens one in Klang and you go bancrupt. To add oil to the fire, when we went into YFitness, we already see a few threadmills SPOILT. Plus it was supposed to be peak hour (we went on a saturday) but we hardly see anyone there.
What a great first impression. And therefore you shall not get our money. In the end i didnt go or apply for any gym. Whats my plan? hmnnn… personal gym at home?
