Tuesday, 2 September 2008

If you were unsure of the benefits of interval training, this may change your mind!

Fitness First is a great gym but can at times be overpriced and over crowded. Find out how to get the cheapest deal on your membership and traps to look out for.

Fitness First is the largest network of gyms in Australia with over 75 gyms in 5 states.  With top of the range equipment and comprehensive group fitness classes, their facilities are more than adequate to improve fitness and assist weight loss. Unfortunately though, Fitness First has started to develop a reputation for being overpriced, sales driven and extremely difficult in matters relating to membership cancellation. This article will highlight a few areas to be mindful of when joining Fitness First. 

Fitness First is one of the only gym’s that have solely dedicated sales teams.  Their pay is highly commission based, meaning they have large incentives to get your sale over the line.  From the minute you first walk into the gym you will be shown around, qualified and pressured into membership. Sales staff rigorously follow up their leads and for people not used to such strong sales tactics, can be left signing up for a membership they did not really want, nor get their moneys worth.
