Reporting here. I'm wondering when will the so-called refurbishment take place since those posters have been around for like more than a year now and I didn't see much change as touted in the plans. OK I saw they brought in the cage for TRX in the class, but basically that's it. Where are the kettlebells? No new machines or weights. Basically just rearranging existing machines and freeweights around and added some display lights at the freeweights area, that's it. Water pressure at the showers for IOI Mall is the worst compared to other FF branches.

Really? Didn't hear my supplier complain about it. He workout there as well but with a PT.

You can always submit your feedback to the gym or talk to the Manager in charge of the outlet. With more people making complain or giving feedback, they'll be compelled to do something about it.

For some reason I can't get used to showering in gym... so I usually settle for a good shower at home.

lol please don't do that. What I meant is that read the thread from Page 1 onwards. I have seen some members talking about IOI Mall FF, so maybe those who talked about it do their workout there. You can PM him/her/them and initiate a conversation.

Just enquired regarding the monthly membership fee at Fitness First, Setia City Mall. Passport : RM167, Platinum : RM190

Can anybody confirm this? Pretty expensive, wondering if they can lower the fees like how some members get unofficial special discounts on monthly membership fee.
*
Yup just like rockpoper said, it's the same for all branch. They have pretty much standardized the membership fee. Yes as mentioned, on special occasions they will waive off certain registration fee etc. Anyway insist they waive off even if there's no event/ promo.

Even so, I find their security quite lax... I have seen ex-members snucked in by their friends (who are current members).

need to attend the total 3 times pt session within 1st month, and total present at the gym total 8times within 2months

i've actually met all the criterias. and fill up the damn form as well.

then they told me the so called rebate will be in my membership account, and treated as a advance payment for my monthly membership fee, since they dont give cash rebates.

but i tot i could skip 1month payment again and again, until i still keep seeing they billed me every month on my credit card. and when i asked about the advance payments that i made. they said i dont have any. and they changed and said the rebate was never done.

10months down the road, they push me here and ther. and the issue was never solved.  rclxub.gif
*
Oh I signed up for it. Upon completion of Body First, I told the Front Desk that I would like to claim for my rebate. She checked the system (to make sure I fulfilled the 3 months and min attendance) then hands me the form. I filled it. Within 2 months, the amount was deducted from my membership fee. I didn't encounter any issue, just that they're slow.

You need to keep pestering the front desk, get his/ her name and make sure this person follow up for you.

The other way is complain in the FF facebook...Sing bad song to everybody in front of them.
*
Yeah that's another approach to go about it. Get friends to chip in some words in the comment and they'll take action. Few of us made a lot of noise about the sound system (always giving problem in class) and they replaced the whole thing within 1-2 weeks (as opposed to their earlier reply of a need to wait for the spare parts to arrive in 5-6 weeks' time).

If not so many lowyat ppl keep saying that TF is suck, I might be a TF member now.

Woah really? TF facilities sounds good!

Hahahaha apparently it sucks when you want to terminate/ freeze membership. That's what most of the complain had been about sweat.gif

Curve? Okay, one day will drop by there after work or on weekend biggrin.gif

KOHIT>> I'll ask other members and see what they say about TF and CF. But anyway a long time member said that a lot of FF members left and went to Gorgeous, especially the Bkt Tinggi outlet. Gorgeous is cheaper and apparently facilities better, newer (no doubt since they have just opened about 1-2 years).

Ha Ha...members in and members out. All gyms are the same.

If you look at FF facebook, there are lots of complaints from members too..There is just no perfect gym around.
*
lol yeah, their FB page will include comments from me too laugh.gif there's always something not in good condition... but at least posting it on FB page things tend to get fixed much faster (in comparison to complaining at front desk). As long as something is being done, I'm okay about it.

Ok I see. 6 packs = slim/ slender for girls/ ladies.laugh.gif

Try BA before...too strenuous 4 me. I got knee problem, better avoid this....

Yes. Hardcore Strength will be introduced in FF and not just limited to Paradigm mall.
*
Eeeeee why says 6packs = slim/ slender?

6 packs = fit
Slim/ slender = frail (in my opinion)

Ah yes, BA is bad for knees especially the jumping lunges. I hate that. I go for options recently because I wouldn't want to exhaust my knees.

Hardcore strength is developed in-house so they can introduce it to all FF outlets. No license involved so it's easier for FF to control. Hope it'll be good. The "Lose It" program (circuit) that was introduced had been reduced to only 1 class in KBT. It's not working :3

really? lol I wanted to join the one at empire last time but my friend said they don't have, and I heard paradigm don't have as well so I thought only platinum has it, like the one at the curve.. good to know, thanks bro, I have more options now..
*
hmm.gif you're right, Empire doesn't have BA and Empire is a Platinum club.
lol I'm not a bro, in case you didn't notice.

QUOTE(KOHTT @ Aug 21 2013, 03:46 PM)
For BA, track no. 4 is the hardest?

I noticed most new ppl give up on the first half of the BA session.

Second half is not so bad...
*
Not exactly. But the new release (release 81), track 4 was very tough. Squat, burpee and tuck jump in 1 combo. After that it's jumping lunges.

Extracted from wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BodyAttack

"For the 55-minute format, the class is arranged to the 12 tracks on a CD produced by the company, timed to allow 55 minutes of exercise.[4]

Track 1: Provides a warm-up consisting of low-intensity exercises.
Tracks 2-4: Provide aerobic exercise, increasing in level of intensity, using movements such as marches, kicks, jumps and stepping movements. Interval training is usually involved (in track 3) and plyometric exercises are also included (in track 4). Less challenging options are provided for those for whom plyometric work is not currently suitable. Near-maximum cardiovascular intensity is reached at the end of track four.
Track 5: Involves floor-based exercises to develop upper-body strength and muscle endurance, including push-ups and exercises to develop core stability.
Track 6: Involves running, often in a circle around the perimeter of the room.
Track 7: Involves exercises to develop agility, usually derived from movements used in various sports. This track is traditionally in a two group format, half of the class facing the other half.
Tracks 8-9: Provide further cardiovascular exercises, again building up. Track 8 concentrates around interval training and track 9 is aimed to reach maximum cardiovascular intensity, the highest of the entire class. Once again, low-impact options are provided for those participants who are unwilling or unable (e.g. due to injury) to jump or run.
Track 10: Involves exercises to develop lower-body strength (e.g. squats and lunges)
Track 11: Involves exercises to develop core stability (e.g. using crunches and plank exercises).
Track 12: Provides a cool-down involving various stretches"

BA had evolved a lot. It used to be very aerobic based with some small break here and there but it's moving towards HIIT with high cardio movements and very little rest.

How come only FF members is active in lowyat?

I don't see Celebrity Fitness active thread?

For TF, most of the time their members are active when they have something to complain in lowyat...
*
Errr yeah, me very surprised too. Yeah I only see complains from TF members and have not seen anyone from CF or GF talking about classes/ their gym.
