Guys, FF got any family/couple package? Like in CF I asked last time they had a package for 3, much cheaper price overall.


Getting my brother and girlfriend to start lifting but price a bit too much.

For the fees as for as I remember, most recently it is 179, 189, 2xx.

For joining fee they will ALWAYS tell you that they will waive it for you ("special for you" but actually CF and FF always say this)

I took the free BodyFirst when I joined, 3 sessions

1st session : Fitness test. Running, pushups, balancing, stretching, planking (may vary)

2nd session : upper body, few exercises

3rd sessions : legs

As a beginner I did learn but I didn't continue under their personal training. I didn't wanna fork out RM2xxx when I can learn everything by myself/from friends/make friends at the gym.

Other then the monthly. I can actually get everything else waived right.

There's a one-time admin fee that they can't waive I think. Not sure already, been too long...


I don't remember FF ever having a family package, but if you have 3 people joining at one go can probably try to negotiate with them. Not sure if you can get it cheaper though.

Subang Parade. I did not take it at that point because i was still a student and i was not sure if i will be in Malaysia/overseas. Yes and it was really worth at that time, i still know a few who are under that membership. The last i heard it was almost Rm12k.

Tried FF Manulife today. Overall, not bad. Many variety of machines. Heck then even have machine for Triceps extension!

But no cable area.
And I'm not sure where they keep all the mats.

Memang lo, you didn't realize you were promoting FF?

Can't say FF has no RPM studio. Only 1-2 clubs don't have the studio

Other than comparison between GF and FF, couldn't comment on CF. Someday I'll give CF a try, just wanna crash their GX for fun.

Yes actually the only thing I like about GF is the rooftop TRX and jacuzzi. But it's pretty hot up there haha.

1. You don't have to work full time. They have part time too. Not for PTs, for GX. Quite a big number of the GX instructors are freelancers/ part timers.

2. Agree with you on this.

3. True la!

Look at it this way... among all the news broadcast, CNN is the lowest paying station. But still, every day there are hundreds to tens of thousands of application.

I suppose that's how it goes hahaha

Yes FF is more clinched towards LesMills. They are one of the strongest when it comes to GX. In fact FF has 1 presenter for each of the program.

FF is quite strict in terms of quality of instructors. I heard it's not easy to clear the training because the head teachers are quite stringent.

When an instructor says he/ she is from FF, any other club(s) will take them in without question. Not sure how true since it's hear say, hear say but if another club's instructor want to teach in FF, he/ she is also subject to clearance by the head teacher.

There's joining and admin fees I think. They can either waive or reduce fee for one of them.

As mentioned by @RedPillReality Body First is a beginner's PT session given to you based on complimentary basis. You will get 3 sessions. I'm sure you will be told that they will charge a fee on this BUT if you swipe in FF (come to the gym) at least 3 times a week for 3 months (i think), the amount that you paid for the Body First will be transferred, to auto deduct from your next month's bill. Meaning it will be complimentary. NOTE THAT: you need to remember to ask for the 'refund' at front desk. Need to fill in a form and will take around 30-60 days if I'm not mistaken.

They want to get people to try out their PT service and to attend the gym often. I think it's good because the PTs also teach you how to use the machines, treadmill, what you can do at Freestyle area etc. Whether you want to sign up or not after the sessions are over, it is up to you

Got la. its hidden at the corner lol. You have to look hard enough

Last time when they try to get membership and setup booth in my office (so-called to give us corporate promotional rate), the consultant told us, if you can get 10 person who sign up together, they are willing to give corporate promotional rate even after special offer or if you are not staff.

It was very long time ago (easily 5 years), the rate was 200++ for passport, but for the special rate it was 180 or something like that.

The fees during the freeze period is 20%. For plat member is RM200x 20% = RM40 pm....so it is not practical.

Anyway, I don't think they will allow you to freeze for 1 year. That's too long.

Go for the Groupon package. You have 1 months trial in CF and that's more than sufficient time to access the gym suitability.

CF previously only have 2 or 3 outlet when it first started, 1 u, subang parade...but now they have more than 10 outlets....So logically the diamond members prices should go up accordingly.

Being there few times, do the members still throwing around their dirty towel in the rest room without returning to the towel counter?

How's the equipment and machine there? Are majority of the machine/ equipments functions properly?

Before forummer start to said I am promoting FF...

No all the instructor in FF is good although they have passed the test. Some of them know the technique well but just don't know how to motivate the members in the class.

So it depends.

Hahahaha! Give newbies a chance, it takes time to take up the practice. Everyone gets better with more classes they teach. Those who can motivate well are usually instructors who have been around some time or those who have taken the advanced module. The advanced module stress more on coaching/motivational side.

Sometimes but now you have to exchange your membership card with the towel. Therefore, most of them return it

Equipment and machines are acceptable although some barbells have not been replaced for years.

I only know their classes make me .....feel like want to cabut after few tracks...only less than 5 ppls in there...

May be they can improve in future.

No sure what's the different between the previous practice of returning the white numbered towel card together with towel....then the counter boy give back our membership card..... some members manage to bypass this process without returning the towel....may be they requested more than 1 set of towel or the towel boy tidak apa attitude.

Anyway, it is good to heard there some improvement made.

Yes, this I agree 100%. I don't profess to have excellent command of the English language, but some of the trainers, seriously, their English is sooooo bad it makes it very hard for me to focus in the class coz I'm nitpicking on their language skills, ha ha ha. And like you said, not all of them can motivate members.

I think that Groupon package expired di coz I can't find it. Anyway, got my free 7-day visit pass to CF di so I'll try it anyway.

No bro, I meant the FF I frequent, Klang Bukit Tinggi, no RPM studio Years ago, some members and I petitioned for a RPM studio to the management but never got a reply from them. Now that I see the new malls like Setia Alam and Paradigm got that open area RPM studio concept, I keep thinking it's not fair for them to deny KBT Platinum members the option for RPM class when they can obviously do it for the newer Blue clubs.

I wonder who

But it happens. Sometimes really tak ramai because it's not peak hours, clash with festivals, the class is just not popular in that club etc. Many reasons.

I know, FF KBT is my home club

But looking at the club, space is really limited. I can't imagine how they can fit in an RPM section or studio.
