Alright, here goes the story. I signed up for a 7 days trial membership in Celebrity Fitness (Sunway branch). The guy that attended me offered me a membership fee of 199 per month, and it is for the basic membership which means there is no personal coach or any other privileges. However he said that if i sign up before Feb he can give me a so called "special price" of 150. I was like wtf because my friend is paying only 138 per month. Another thing that seems really fishy is that when i asked for the membership price and packages list, he said it is not printed and available. I feel like i'm being scammed, please enlighten me. I'm new to gym and i literally don't know a thing but well, nobody wants to be fooled rite? Thanks alot!

Are you sure you are committed enough to go to the gym? RM138 is for student if not mistaken and I would really go to a ghetto gym instead because its cheaper.

Well, it's kinda more like bargaining to get your price here.

haha.
i had an experience as i went to Celebrity Fitness, True Fitness and Fitness first.

Trust me, all the packages are so damn linear.

it is very flexible.

they always come and say this package very good kaw2. n then regarding the price, i always berlakon to considering it. then i will refuse to sign by giving need time to consider, want to join with friends and also better offer at other place.

surely, then the staff will go n talk to his/her manager and then you will get even better price.

i got no drillz to show you, but trust me, by kawtim like this, i manage to go subscribe to truefitness at jaya33 for only RM65 per month. reg fee got lower down to rm50 as time itu, got promotion reg fee for rm99 as compared to normal rm150.

so moral of the story =

try to bring few friends and ask them to berlakon like they all want to join, n berlakon calling parents bla3. and after few stages, until the staff sudah percaya sama lu, then u go ask n try to talk to the manager direct. LOL.
i had awesome time there tho!

just to my cent.

kthxbai.

I'm paying 109/month at True Fitness. It's the same MO. Appear disinterested, have a ballpark figure of how much you're willing to pay, bargain and be ready to walk off if it's not a satisfactory price. Everyone is paying a different price.

Edit: I asked the guys opposite me how much they were quoted as the salesperson dealing with me was printing my receipt. They got quoted 265/month and 700 registration fee.

winkybear, r u passport or home membership??
im paying 34x/month (cant remember exact price) at TF, on bank loan. buuuut.... i only have to pay it for a year, and im getting 2.5 yrs "free" - round it all up divide by the total of 42 mths il b there.... thats less than rm100/month, platinum membership. i thought it was a real good deal!

i wanted to go to celeb but it was rm190/month, 1 yr contract. they said they'd waive my registration and admin fee.... but this was just 190/month, no other perks, no free this free that, no extension etc. so TF was the obvious choice for me

Home membership, 24 months contract. Yeah your deal sounds better, though I cant afford to pay that much at one go lol. My budget was 150/month at most, and the passport membership they offered was more than that.

it should be 139 a month for celeb fitness in pyramid, including 2 free personal trainer sessions

izzit possible to bargain on monthly fees once u joined already but plan on renewing the contract?

REPLY

I JOINED FITNESS FIRST FOR RM168 PER MONTH
I THINK FITNESS FIRST MEMBERSHIP IS THE MOST EXPENSIVE OF ALL.
IN ADDITION ALL THE STAFF THERE ONLY INTERESTED ABOUT YOUR MONEY
HOW ABOUT YOUR OPINION?

my opinion is that you should either fix your caps button or smash your keyboard on your head.

reply
mike huan Oh,look you try it before You're so studpit

Riiiight.

lol. entertainment at its finest. now your keyboard is missing full stops. ate it by mistake?

how to get 34x/month? which TF?

i student i pay 165 permonth in celeb fitness in pyramid coz im over 25, tunaseng. i hope the indian white shirt guy crash his car everyday

its like dat wan, they dun wan to print out or display their price cos they always chnge their price........today it might b rm138, then tomoro it wil chnge to rm190..........if u r lucky, then u get the lower price, if u r unlucky, then u wil hav to pay more

Dang!!... honestly the pricing for a gym membership these days is becoming a rip-off. Paying 175 myself at Fitness First. Even though its a passport member, still feel it a tad bit too pricey.

i wonder how come the ppl who's trying to sell you gym membership doesn't lift weight themselves?

because they arent required to.

my experience:
went to celebrity fitness in subang parade for a walkaround, because i got bored walking around. naturally a salesperson jumped at the chance to give me a tour around the place, which i did.

now, since i was already a FF member i was absolutely not interested in joining, and the sales guy sensed that. when he sat me down to talk about joining i was already ready to leave. i gave a lot of reasons of not joining the place. told them i live too far from there and i am already going to one of those ghetto gyms.

he ended up discounting so much from the starting price, RM200+ to around RM130 or RM140?

so act like you are REALLY not interested and really eager to get out of there, might be a good tactic heh

oh he gave me a 7 day trial coupon when i said no and left >.<

wa so nice ah, until 130 only

but if the salesperson lift weight and at least looks great in their tight fitting uniform, at least ppl would be more "convinced" that their gym is good lo and be willing to pay and no need to discount like that and they wont need to beg like that lo

Anyone wan to join new gym @ Berjaya Times Sqiare, with new promotional package please feel free to call me at 012-2697766 - Nick

my fren paid rm105 in celeb fitness..haha

Last Sunday went to ask at 1U.
RM165 per month + other nonsense processing and registration fee.
A very non-convincing consultant attended us.

guys.. i want to know how much u pay for celeb fitness at wangsa walk now..

i got an offer RM152 a month for student.. is it a good offer?

need to get rid of all my fats!! damn anoyying!!

If you live around Wangsa Maju, I think there are a couple of other gyms in the area. One I know of is Ultimate Gym, owned by Terry Gallyot, former Mr Asia. Give it a look.

Celebrity fitness have increased my fee for the second time in 1 1/2 years now..I'm going to look for another gym to go to now..damn all these gyms are bleeding me dry..

those prices are set by those promoters themselves... but i do believe they have a minimum point... so... if u really wanna join... just make a not so interested face... and squeze every penny... haha

Not student price, that is their "normal price" i think, my bf not a student and aged at 31, they offered the same price.
and offer another price at RM139 for Credit card owner.
I got membership transfer from other forummer for rm124 monthly, claiming that it is previous price, if want to change package, the price wont be the same.

The latest price structure as below:

1 club RM175 per month

Passport RM196 per month.

Offer by lot 10 Celebrity fitness. And they can increase your fee anytime they want without notice. They will just inform you that they will increase 5% when they feel they want.

I stop my 5 year gym membership there starting from California Fitness at Menara Standard Charted until Celebrity Fitness at Lot 10. Not worth the price as most of the facilities is old.

I'm paying Rm135 before 5% tax, for passport membership. The membership was signed during califronia fitness management.

I overheard a few times that the 'consultants' are signing people up at about rm160/month for '1 outlet only' membership, which is quite expensive IMO.

I'm paying 152 for one outlet only and I absolutely feel cheated

Dang, if only i didn;t quit california fitness for a couple of months i would have had the same rate as you.
now i'm paying 114 for one outlet in mv.

Need some opinions from pros ...
Celebrity fitness in SUNWAY PYRAMID

This is the normal price of all celebrity branches. If you really want I can transfer my member ship to you at RM 109.

Normal joining fees is RM 400+

Crazily expensive yeah ...

My neighbourhood gym charge RM5 per entry (during 'happy hour')

Try to ask more people who are already registered in that gym to find out is there's really something fishy..

Recently i just sign up celebrity. When started they offer me 152/mth 550 joinin fees and 109 processing fees. Then i need to act like so consider, the salesperson start to reduce the joinin fees from 550 to more lower than u can thought.maybe he sense his commission goin to flee away as im goin to leave.. Then he straight away offer me a "corporate price" . Joinin fees and processing fees waived and 139/mth for all club. Since he say 152/mth for 1club only.

139 for all clubs? U sure?
Which outlet?

rm139???? thats is super cheap. damn I pay rm185 for all club.

mine RM173 all club

still cheaper than mine...

Hey Guys,

Anyone can enlighten me?

Thanks

to everyone who read this beware of celebirty fitness subang parade.
I have been cheated and tied down to a 1 year membership at exorbitant amount. Remember when you sign the contract, DO NOT PASS THEM your bank card and make sure if they tell you the membership duration it is stated clearly on contract. I signed up for few months and they pushed the price high up and I agreed since it was a few months. I called in today and they tell me my membership is for 1 year and they will continue to deduct money from my bank monthly.There is no way you can disagree with them

I thought the contract tenure will be 1 year normally? Termination will be RM400 as the CSO told me.

easy, just cancel the credit card and problem solved. they will call and send u mail to settle the penalty and stuff just like those dbkl but u can ignore.

I have a sister who did exactly that and after 2 years, nothing also. they won't be so free to call u to court for a measly 400

got 1 celebrity fitness going to open in carefour bukit rimau

but after hearing stories from you guys, im gonna continue going to ghetto gym

Where do u stay bro? Which ghetto gym do u go to?Trying to find one,but not sure if there is any around my area.

i'm from celebrity fitness, signed up membership with 12 months commitment. I just go for 2 months then stopped, the salesman told me that just cancel the card and then it will not auto debit. But now i received a letter and said that i owe them money and if no paid for the outstanding balance, i will received law letter.

Hey MJ,

Dear OP,

Before you decided to dump rm200 a month into a gym that may hook on your credit card. Try this.

Google ample information of beginner weight training programs, read thoroughly from whichever your favourite source. In my case I got a copy of Starting Strength by Mark Rippetoe and did his routine.
2. Find a gym that promote free-weights, basics are power rack, squat rack, deadlift-enabled and some benches for your various needs.
3. Stick to the programs for 3 months and do no miss a workout then decide if you would still want to go to any of those franchise fitness center.

Unless if your goals is to see girls in yoga pants so you can jack off in the changing room by all means disregard whatever I said above.
