How much does a Fitness First membership cost you? 

Well this is a very interesting question as nearly everyone is paying different amounts for their memberships http://forums.vogue.com.au/showthread.php?t=84761.  Fitness First do not show any prices on their web site which only further highlights their caginess around prices.  They have a lot of different membership options so it is very easy to get confused, however their standard membership, allowing you access to all Fitness First gyms is around $83 per month. On top of this you will need to pay an admin fee of $70 which is non-negotiable.  There will also be an additional joining fee of around $50, however they always wipe this off as a mechanism to add value to their offer (if they don’t make sure you ask them to!).  It seems that some good negotiating or through special offers, membership prices can often be brought down to around $60 per month, or even less sometimes.  It is a good idea to join at the end of the month when they are desperately trying to reach their targets, and will be more likely to entice you with a special offer.  

The most important thing with your Fitness First membership is to be aware of the contract you are signing and the process for cancelling if you choose to do so.  There are many people who have been caught out and feel like they have been scammed or ripped off by Fitness First http://www.fitnessfirstscam.com/, http://phorums.com.au/archive/index.php/t-208801.html.  To cancel your membership, you can only do so by appointment and these are often made difficult to schedule in.  Cancellation fees are expensive and the process often long and drawn out.  

In addition, many Fitness Firsts tend to be overcrowded in peak times (5-7pm) and can make work outs slow and frustrating.  Endeavor to visit your prospective Fitness First during one of these peak times (Monday night is best) to make sure you are comfortable with the environment.
