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

Lmao, was about to say this. This alone is enough to give a big red flag already.

for u who think gy is scam gym is like a club... people can drink at home cheap cheap why go club....

same vein ppl can exercise at home but

You don't find so many types of liquors at your home, you don't have every single work out equipment at your home.

I'm was tempted before but seems to be good to be true plus need to add own card so I don't go

scammer lo.

always see their ads on ig reels

Sweet summer child too naive

There are no see hru black short dress moi , or tight gym bra amoi at home . Only a naggy wife or gf

Wow, so freaking manly. Very the sigma.

Big time fucked up

Trying to replicate Netflix business model in gyms never works

They need to compensate the partner gyms per number of visits

When ppl visit the gyms more than the break even point, eg compensation to the gyms more than the monthly fees, that's when they making losses

They owed many partner gyms outstanding fees

Kek

Like what? I don't want get scam

What about gympark

1fit reap Sei Sohai
2fit sure cominng in

SCAMMER EVERYWHERE.

give masive discount on membership,and promises

I initially was interested in 1fit a year ago, saw their ads on ig I think. Thn once I set up an account on the apps, their customer service straight spam call. Didn't subscribe in the end, as I live in shah alam and thy don't have available gym near here, what a close call...

songlap sukyurnya, i know this sort business model cant survive, in malaysia u gotta pay up front or at least some guarantee...... malaysia cant have nice thing, need do business like choke their throat or send reminder every 2 week

They all look like CCP scammers based in Myanmar

only a moron will fall for it

Rm200 a month right? Expensip bruh

If you look at their business model, you’ll wonder how can they make money with unlimited access. If you want to emulate this model, do it like Classpass where you’ve x no of credits and you can go anywhere you want based on the credit you’ve.

Then again, Classpass is yahudi price.

All this multi gym access main customer is ghey lord like mr robert.. going gym hopping to find fresh meat

Worth it for me, I go to the gym thrice weekly.

155 for early birds.

I think police cannot do much in this case, those effected need to lodge report to Ministry of Domestic Trade. (KPDN)

victims got scammed by someone named Jim

Where?
My area all RM20 or 25 for 1 hour

lodge also no use i think. cos declared bankrupt terus, wind down. not dont want pay . money also probably transferred out of country

This looks like a health and safety hazard
