True Fitness is a Ripper.I was a regular inactive member in Fitness first for 2 years and my membership also include Yoga Classess. Basically 2 facilities that i can use , the Gym and YOga.I also enrol Personal Trainers and were trained by 2 personal trainer before . I was an ex-fitness first center but not going to review on that as this is a review on True Fitness Taipan, USJ Branch.
Here is my quick review of the center and you guys really need to hear this but the decision is yours to make after that.
1) Parking is not a major problem like some had claimed . there's a huge parking lot behind with system. those who making noise about it is talking about the front parking conveniet for them like VIP valet car park... If everybody is Dato, tak payah lah mari gym, rumah boleh buat Gym.
2) Not bother about Sales Pitch review here as all of them the same. The environment is nice and clean. Astro channel too little and bad program to entertain loners. Locker is kinda sucks to me with the L shape door.
3) Personal Trainers all lousy trainer from local university i guess. no discipline and most of them dont even have a body buidler look or even professional. They are not serious to push you to the limit.
befriending you is their aim so that u get to continue again with them. 2 years and still nothing change in my weight.
4) All their classes are boring stuff and chicks are mostly aunties and uncles. this gym is really full of obese people and really don't motivates u at all. i thought going to yoga class will get some motivation with nice chicks but all aunties.
5) no free drink or juice bar. no protein shakes etc... lousy management. Songs are 80's and 90's sometimes, feel like catering for the uncles here.
6) Plenty of Equipment but doin it alone or without trainer to push u hard enough is useless even with the kind of facilities. the sad thing i noticed is that many member thought they could do it on their own taking their own sweet time some more under the air condition. the result is zero because u r simply too fat and the air conditioning does not make fat burns faster. its part of the gimmick in the current lifestyles of the modern gym. i look at so many people lazying around the threadmill and other equipment with Astro and listening to the MP3. Bootcamp had taught me to shut the world out from electronics and just switch on the mind antennae only for sweating out the last one hour seriously without talking at all. Some of them treated the gym like clubs and lose so much time hanging there almost everyday but not focusing. If u want to join a club for astro , relax with hot bath , chatting away yor time etc.... find a club to do it rather than wasting your time in the gym .
i finally gave up this membership and happy it was a great decision. Im now in this www.bootcamp.com.my and im getting the real stuff now for my body. The cost is cheaper than paying personal trainer in true fitness that does nothing to your body for 2 years. I think if you really want result in the end, Gym is not the answer but bootcamp is . As a Fitness First member , true fitness and bootcamp now, i am now a satisfied customer to bootcamp program due to straight forward details and fees. no gimmick or anything u heard off in most of the gym selling style which gave us a very doubtful feeling at times. All the hype of the modern gym selling skills can be rated as third world country , communist faction , unprofessional and cunning like british .
good luck in your choice and credit my review by reply back to this thread and if u intent to look into Bootcamp where they have more motivation around with teams.
Thanks for your good article. It helps me decide to join bootcamp. And i m really glad bootcamp would soon operate at Bandar Utama. Thanks again.
