Hello. I just joined FF. Platinum membership and will mostly work out in the morning on weekdays (before work) at Mont Kiara Branch. And on weekends will go to the Cheras Leisure Mall branch if I'm free.

Anyone with the same schedule/place as I am?

Hey emino... wanna ask. Platinum membership is for those who can go worldwide? How much is the membership?

Platinum membership can go to ALL of their centre including overseas. I'm only taking it because one of their platinum members exclusive branch is near my office (Mont Kiara). Regular members can't go to platinum exclusive branches.

They quote me 200. A bit pricey if you ask me, but for my own convenience I took it up lo.

You sign up for a year package or longer? ... Sorry I hope you don;t mind... Want to prevent from being conned.

A year. Was considering TF before since they are offering me 100 per month for 2 years contract. But the sales guy being damn pushy and the smelly bathroom turns me away. Plus they don't have a branch near my house in Cheras.

Yeah it's pricey but standard price. If you ask me, it's reasonable if you maximize your membership (meaning go to gym often lol).

Good thing you didn't sign up with TF. Google the TF thread here and you'll find pages and pages of never ending complain about them.

Yeah I am a regular gym goers. I go almost everyday in my old company since they provided a gym. With my increased salary in this new company it should cover the expensive fees lol.

Also they are rumors that my company is considering gym allowances to staffs.

Nice company you have there Thanks for all the information

Unarguably, it's Paradigm FF for me. Axis equipments are pretty old.

I see..... But I always see from outside in Paradigm Mall, i see the yoga place was not spacious like the other area, and the classes that offered are not that much as compared to other? Are you frequent at FF Paaradigm Mall?

Yes agree. If you're talking about yoga/ GX and RPM, Axis's one is bigger but in terms of machines, pantry, freestyle area etc Paradigm is better (newer and bigger).

Yup I go Paradigm on and off but am a regular there on Wednesday morning.

I see. are you join premium?

Uhhhh if you mean whether I'm a Platinum member then yes

aww.... hoe much you pay monthly? are you by credit card?
I am still wondering here actually. Because I dont have a credit card and I dont want to pay lump sum.

RM201.60 inclusive of the 6% GST and yes, it's by credit card.

I have seen some members pay at the front desk. Try negotiating with the membership consultant to see if they'll allow you to pay cash monthly. If they're desperate enough for business (and not against their policy), it's possible.

Well, I see....
Do you take trainer as well?

No... don't need a PT. Although I'm not 100% disciplined, I think I do enough workout (clock in averagely 12-14 hours of workout per week in the gym). Instead of paying for PT, I leverage on the classes and online videos or materials. In fact I always ask tips from other veteran members and class instructors it's sufficient. Like I always believe in - ask and you shall receive (well, 50% of the time lol). Gym members (of those that I know) are very generous and more than willing to share if you ask.

What are you interested in doing at FF? Yoga or GX class or weights? Others?

They failed swiping my initial payment and allow me to pay by cash for that session lol.

If you opt cash payment they are expensive by 10-20 ringgits if I'm not mistaken.

I'm too shy to make friends with existing members, so I just go in, do my businesses and goes out.

Also I feel very very awkward when another guy trying to initiate a conversation with me in the Steam Room.
