heard lots of gymn like that liao...so not easy to fool me

I also suspected something fishy when I saw their ads.

Gym membership that gives you access to multiple gyms and facilities for cheaper price. Many people fall for it by paying in advance, etc.

Subscribers should be refunded

Just go to Anytime Fitness, their gyms are almost everywhere.

I am attached to Fitness First since can get perks and discounts as AIA Insurance customer.

Reports of Shutdown and Financial Issues:
In Malaysia, 1Fit announced a pause in operations, leaving users and studios in a lurch. In Mexico, there are reports of a similar shutdown, with allegations of the CEO leaving the country after a large sales campaign, owing money and leaving users without service.

Aggressive Sales Tactics:
Some Reddit users reported that 1Fit engaged in aggressive sales tactics, particularly in Mexico, before shutting down. This included a large number of sales of annual memberships followed by the app's sudden closure.

Potential for Acquisition:
Despite the negative news, some users are discussing the potential for acquiring the app and reviving it, citing its existing user base, studio network, and features. This suggests that the underlying business model might have potential, but the current management and financial situation are the main issues.

Loss of User Trust:
The sudden shutdown and alleged financial mismanagement have led to a loss of user trust in the app and potentially future fitness startups in the region.

I don't like Fitness First and Celebrity Fitness, almost all are inside shopping malls and it's a hassle for me who visit gyms at odd hours.

from the onset i taught its a scam.

u all who pre-paid for services becareful la

if possible i don't ever pre-pay for any services

Takde seorang pun yang fit

This is why I never pay 1-year.

Last time that purple coloured gym the same, forget the name

That business model will never work unless they get "consistent" or "huge" investment, and also expand to other business lines at the same time to create more cash flow, because their existing business cannot make money 1

How is it possible u offer cheaper rates with access to multiple gyms and also pay those gym owners

i used to join KFit that exists before 1Fit. probably the same company change name. can go various gyms but they limit times you can the same gym. usually those smaller gyms

Gym is da scam.

Always ask u to sign up auto debit, the moment u want exit damn the hassle is like want divorce.

it is just hard to do any business these days

All that instagram reels with influencer tayang tetek also cannot get subs?

Gym = scam

Anytime fitness is surprisingly still here perhaps cause of their cost structure

Gym is another MLM
