I'm a regular at Axis, as I work near there. Always full at 7-ish, especially free weights area. Be prepared!

I'm going there for a class ^____^ so it's okay, but will probably do some workout at the freestyle area afterwards. doh.gif I'll definitely be late... class starts at 6.45pm and outright impossible for me to reach there before 7pm with the jam.

Btw is there are any specific area I should park so that it's nearer to FF? I was told to park anywhere, take lift up to C (concourse) and I'll reach.

Enter Menara Axis (take ticket), drive on until you see the SECOND entrance to the carpark. Enter and go DOWN to basement. Drive around and find an opening to the next building. There should be many spots there. There is only one lift (at Menara Axis basement). Take that one and go to C.

The first carpark entrance lets you go up, which is troublesome (for me), as you may have to transit. The one I mentioned earlier gets you straight to FF.

Both carpark entrances are on your right, so do watch out.
*
OMG so complicated *panicking* is there any sign/ marking near the 'next building' parking for me to recognize? Btw why next building? Isn't FF inside Axis itself? The basement is just 'B' no B1 or B2...?

Haha I hope I am not scaring you off. At the basement there are only two areas. One for Axis, the other for the next building. Once you enter the basement, you will see it. But remember, enter through the SECOND carpark entrance. The first one brings you up (1st floor onwards) and it is extremely hard to find parking there.

I asked you to park at the next building because Axis is usually full, or fully reserved. Basement is B1. No need to go B2...
*
Aaaaah okay, thanks for the clarification. But when I park in the next building, it will bring me directly to FF right? And one last question, is the parking there safe/ okay? I understand all parking areas are not 'safe' but at least it isn't dark, very quiet and creepy? I'm hoping that there's at least some guards around, brightly lit, CCTV, some minor traffic in the carpark (people getting their car, leaving, entering the building etc).

Thanks a lot, you've been a great help smile.gif

When you descend into the basement from the carpark entrance, the lift is just in front of you.

After you parked your car, walk back to the lift. Don't park too far...

The place is fairly lit. Not sure if there are CCTV cameras... Sometimes there are guards patrolling the area.

Noted thumbup.gif a big thank you!

I was there yesterday... thanks a lot for the tips on where to park. But hmmm the basement is kinda eerie... a lot of machines but pretty old ya? The GX class is quite small too, making is pretty cramped and stuffy. I was told that Axis is the second FF built in Malaysia (the first outlet being Manulife)... if that's the case, not surprised that the facilities is a little old, even so, seems like they did a pretty decent job maintaining the place biggrin.gif

Good on you for finding the basement! My first two tries I didn't find it. :|

Yes, I agree with the creepy basement comment. I usually go with a gym buddy so I don't walk there alone.

The machines there are old... once the assisted pullup machine had a knob missing LOL.
*
sweat.gif I was hesitating a lot - this one? that one? go in? lift? lol. Luckily my friend arrived earlier and I called him up (sent him the info you provided me in the forum) to double check before I enter.

Yeah the pantry area looks like cafe style and pretty small too. But I guess decent enough to visit again for special class biggrin.gif yoga and rpm room very spacious though!

Old FF gym like Axis has the sauna room and steam room. The new FF gym only have the steam room. So there are pros and cons....

KBT has both biggrin.gif hardly use though. Prefer sauna over steam.

Hey guys. How much are you guys paying monthly for fitness first?
I am interested to join platinum in empire but when I think of the extra cost of parking, I think twice again.
What about true fitness? Are they really that bad?
*
Same like KOHIT, i'm also paying RM201 (inclusive of 6% GST). Parking shouldn't cost you too much, how many hours do you plan to workout in a day? And how many days you're going to gym in a week?

If I'm not mistaken, Empire costs RM2 for 2 hours? That's what I've been paying when I'm there. Aeon Bkt Tinggi much cheaper on weekday, only RM1 because 1st hour is free.

QUOTE(KOHTT @ Aug 30 2013, 12:05 AM)
I am paying RM201 per month for FF plat membership...but they will tell you that the price is RM190.00 which is not inclusive of 6% tax.

FF membership is the most expensive in the town. cool2.gif

Talk with the membership consultant on the car park...if not mistaken (I hardly go to empire - so don't shoot at if wrong), FF members can have flat rate or discount rate on car park.

True fitness?? Try to search the thread in lowyat.
*
FF Platinum is expensive biggrin.gif if you're Home/ Passport membership then it's much cheaper (then again, I didn't know how much since I signed up for Plat).

I'm not really a fan of classes, so yeay!

For the house membership, it's around 140 IIRC.

No work, no money for membership ph34r.gif

Yeah if you're not into classes, anytime is fine. I'm always in a rush to leave office and I'd get ticked off when someone calls me at 6.25pm.

Omg house membership cheap! I've got a friend who only enrol for weekend membership (allows you to go in on Friday evening, Sat & Sun) costs her RM120 permonth.

lol no one is irreplaceable in an organization. And I'm way underpaid. No point complaining, let's see what's next.

Most 9-6pm job is fixed ^^; unless it's part time/ flexi hours job.

There is saying from other gyms members that FF members are "generally" either more well paid or willing to spend $$ than them...

Reason is that because FF members are willing to paid higher fees for the gym....

So, if both of you are underpaid is a bit  rclxub.gif  to me....

Lol really? Im paying extra for the convenience because of their location :3

Ah kbt. Fun times. Hows the place already. Damn long never step into ff sad.gif

Come come haha. When were you last there? Right now GXM okay, place still same same small. Apparently a lot of 'legend' (old timer) instructors no longer teaching in kbt because too far. They so called renovated the freestyle area but looks the same to me. Did relocate some of the machines though

LOL.

I pay more for location tbh. I'm very very very lazy to move around with a car in KL, esp peak hour. Thus, using LRT saves my petrol, at a slightly higher monthly fees.

Rather not suffer epic jams from 5~7 every day sleep.gif

I'm really underpaid laugh.gif

*
Agree with ya, paying more for FF because of their location and it seems there's less issues/ problem with FF. I spoke to someone who used to come from TF and CF management and according to this person, FF is better as they're more service oriented. The former 2 clubs have a i-don't-care attitude (club and staffs).

QUOTE(chiahau @ Aug 30 2013, 10:22 PM)
Ain't that good?

That means the fees are uniformed and you are not getting "trolled" to pay extra for the same thing compared to others.

I can't really tell you bout Empire Subang but generally the machines are quite decent in the newer FF branches.

As for PT, look at their PT section at Empire. I'm sure you can find a PT that suits you, albeit the price might be on the high side.
*
Exactly. I wouldn't be happy to hear someone from Platinum A branch paying less than me for membership fee. I'd definitely raise this with the management. End of the day, a standard membership fee is good for members and management. No complain and less headache to deal with.

QUOTE(mikehuan @ Aug 31 2013, 09:08 AM)
Almost 2 years already lol. Don't really go for classes so don't know the instructors either. Place still packed on peak hours?

Tbh I wouldn't mind rejoining. ContrAct with gorgeous gonna end and no way I'm gonna renew lol. See how. Now contemplating which one lol.
Go to empire listen to their sales pitch and ask for a trial before joining. Insist on it. They give you 7 days to try out the place no questions asked if u not keen. Ya ff is on the high side but at least you know there isn't any hanky panky lobang stuff you're missing out on. Everyone pays the same. 1 club membership allows you to bring guests during weekends is pretty useful too.

As for pt. Ask what they planning to do for you before even signing up. AsK ask ask. Make sure you get a competent reliable one.
*
Yeah it's still kinda packed during peak hours. Sometimes the machines are full, but I find the weights area okay (not that many people - maybe I didn't take much notice). They have rearranged the order of the machines. Some of the equipments starting to worn out though.

Haha get a 7-day trial with FF KBT biggrin.gif checkout the place then decide. I heard Gorgeous KBT is much bigger but some of the machines/ equipments are not in good condition and generally management don't really care? ---> came from a friend who went for a 7-days trial.

QUOTE(chiahau @ Aug 31 2013, 11:34 AM)
I thought you need to be with FF for at least 10 months before you can automatically summon a guest with you during weekends? hmm.gif
*
Yup still applies. But at least there is such a privilege wink.gif

Hmm. Well the weights area def bigger. As for equipment okay la management do still maintain them. You get the occasional broken mirrors,  damaged equipment mainly from the douchebags who use them. 

Oh and the weight area looks like a dozen 5 year olds played in it end of the day.  Which is probably true
*
Yes, broken mirror at Gorgeous - saw a friend's picture on FB.

Hahahaha 5 year olds... KBT is a little better I guess? Those guys seem to know what they're doing laugh.gif

Yes the people seems alright and I see they always place the weights back on the rack.
Oh yeah I noticed the weights area quite empty on weekend morning to noon - if it's ideal time for your training.

I'm just wondering, how often do you guys go to the gym? And when do you go and workout (ie after work or on weekends)?
*

Me and some of my kaki are a little crazy. We go gym everyday after work. For me weekday only 1 hour workout each day, except Wed and Friday (about 1.5 to 2 hours). On weekends we get worse by attending 3 to 4 classes (1hr each class). I have tried having 1 rest day in a week bt i got so bored at home. In the end i rather spend that rest day on at least 1 class. So right now no rest day unless i have to be outstation for work, meet friends, family stuffs etc

new to fitness first

wondering what are the plans for frequent travelers ?

Was told something about international passport
*
Generally there's 2 types of FF outlets: Platinum Outlet and normal home outlet. Platinum outlet more premium but of course, you pay more for the membership. Currently there are 4-5 Fitness First Platinum (Mont Kiara, KBT, Empire etc)

1. Platinum membership : you have access to all FF outlets in Malaysia and the international ones as well
2. Passport membership : you have access to all FF outlets in Malaysia except Platinum outlets
3. Home membership : you only have access to your home club (meaning just that 1 club)

It depends on your need to enroll based on which type of membership. There is also weekend-only-membership which allows access to that 1 club from Friday night till Sunday.
