Fitness First in General

I have recently joined and was quite impressed, although there are a few disadvantages. The main disadvantage for me is they don't have swimming pools at most of thier clubs. I guess if you're not into swimming that's ok, but for the price I did expect them to have a swimming pool. I had a 1 day pass and the woman who showed me around wasn't pushy into trying to sell a membership but I overheard her talking to a receptionist "...who have no intention of joining" so from what it sounds like she begrudges giving free passes out unless you are going to join. The receptionists are normally friendly, however there is a receptionist who hardly smiles and avoids eye ...  Read the complete review

I was a member of a gym before I got pregnant but for one reason or another I quit. I always had the intentions of rejoining but with no time and less money after my little bundle of joy arrived it kind of got way laid! 2 years down the line and I couldn't put it off any longer! We have about 5/6 gyms in our town but after much debating I decided to opt for Fitness First. Before we go any further into the review I just want to state that although some information is generic my primary review is on our club in Kidderminster as I haven't visited any of the others. I first went for a look and was shown round by one of the sales team who was very useful and ...  Read the complete review

Anyone that has read my About Me will know that my partner sadly suffered a miscarriage recently. Due to this we both decided to go on a bit of a health kick and join a gym. After checking round our local area we decided to go with Fitness First. We called in around 9pm on a Thursday night and the lady who we spoke to was very nice, and also had a bit of a weight problem which helped to reassure Caroline that it wasn't just skinny people who attended. We were shown round for nearly an hour and then decided to join up. We took on an offer which was £35 for a month, then £22 a month after that. We signed up for a year. The first payment is taken Direct Debit ...  Read the complete review

Having tried several Gyms I have found fitness first the best value for money. For just £24.99 a month it is brilliant and if you want a family add on then they only charge a further £21.99. Before joining they allow you to have a trial of the gym first and after that they do not hassel you. Before you join they will tell you the offers and the different memberships so that you can choose something which suits you best. They have lots of different things on offer such as personal trainers, sports injury clinics etc There is a programme of different classes that are included in your membership. Some of these include body toning, boxersize, dance classes, ...  Read the complete review

I have only ever visited the Romford branch of Fitness First but as there is no Romford Fitness first listed on this site, I will review the Romford one here. As a 'gym' it is not too bad. I have been invited to many other gyms by friends and family but they are Health Clubs rather than gyms. They offer great facilities such as swimming pools, squash courts and so on but for actual gym equipment, they are quite bad. Fitness First does not offer the luxury of the other 'gyms' but they do offer the machines and weights you need to work out on. With Fitness First you get what you see and no added extra's. The gym is a lot more suited to men than women as most of ...  Read the complete review
