Hey guys
im planning to start going to gym but looking for those with a short contract , cause im only gonna be here till Jan 2013 or so then i will move overseas..
i went and see Jatomi Fitness @ Tropicana City Mall looks decent , but would like to know of your feedback of the place..
how are they trainers ? helpful ?
their rate for 3 month contract is RM195 x 3 Months + RM100 ( bag and access card )
CarbonFire: They have a 3 month contract which is RM195 a month. A bit steep. You can sign up for a year for rm120 or so where you get the towel usage. But if you decide to leave your contract early, you pay a charge of 40% of the remaining months.
As a gym, I would say they're pretty decent. Having just moved from London where I was a member of let's say an "upmarket" gym (David Lloyd), I did a bit of a survey and Jatomi comes pretty close to my standards. (I hit the gym about 4-5 days a week and was a military physical training instructor so my standards are pretty high!).
The equipment is new, there's hardly any people and trainers are there to help. Although I'm slightly dubious as to why most of their trainers have huge bellys and that does not inspire any confidence in me whatsoever. What I also like about them is that they strike me as a no frills, no fancy ass bullsh*t facilities (like celebrity where they charge you almost up to RM500 to join plus 199 a month just because they have some disco lights in their studio and they look "nicer"!!!) and thus is all about the fitness.
Did I mentioned that they're also managed by the guys who created Fitness First? (Balfour Brothers). So yeah, all in all...I think they're good. They could use a punching bag, a steam room and a pool.
Hope this helps and don't forget to stretch!
