Fitness First in General Reviews

I have been going to my local Fitness First (Walworth road, Southwark) for 3 years now and my initial expression has dramatically changed about the club itself. It's hard to see outside the circle but have been to a couple of branches recently and it just made me reassured that Fitness First is really not first anymore. 3 years ago it ...  Read the complete review

In my local branch in Bath it has a swimming pool and access to other activities as well as a welcoming reception area with SkyTV. Ithas a full set of ...  Read the complete review

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 ...  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 ...  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 ...  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 ...  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 ...  Read the complete review

I have been a member of Fitness First for over two years now and I would highly recommend it as a gym. My local Fitness First has a good selection of fitness equipment which is split into two sections - the weights area and the cardio area. The cardio area has treadmills, cross trainers, two types of bikes, climbers and more and an area for mats, ...  Read the complete review

I am currently a member of a Fitness First gym and a very proud member, at that. I go there pretty much on a daily basis and love having a workout where the equipment is plentiful, the staff are friendly and the atmosphere is welcoming. There are a range of classes which you don't have to pay extra for which change every now and again, dependent ...  Read the complete review

I checked out the fitness first in Birmingham on Streetly Road. I went with a friend who was already a member and so was given a free day pass in order to check out the facilities. I currently train in a no thrills gym so whilst fitness first is a step up in terms of the facilities, i won't be joining. Reasons given below; My first ...  Read the complete review

This was my second gym after Golds Gym and before my current gym which is Harpers Gym. The reason I originally joined Fitness First was that it was more local than golds gym and I no longer had any use for a swimming pool so did not want to pay the big extra. Fitness First costs me £40 a month and I signed up during a promotion time so did not ...  Read the complete review

I am working out since last 2 years and Im happy what I got. I have had some good and bad experience at the gym. Firsly il start with bad ones, so you can smile listening to the good ones later. The customer advisor who signs you up for the membership are so crafty. To get their commision they will lie, they will do everything to get ...  Read the complete review

I`ve used Fitness First gyms for the good part of 5 years now. I think gyms do get a bit of a bad reputation, however i can honestly say that i`ve never had any problems with FF- payments are always taken out of my account every month on time and in the 5 years i`ve been with them my membership can only increased by £3! I pay a very good rate of ...  Read the complete review

When I was at university I had to find a way to burn off all the fatty foods that i found myself consuming. My metabolism has always been fairly good so never found myself putting on any weight; I have always been athletic and enjoyed getting out and doing sports. When I started the university life I found myself sitting around a lot, drinking far ...  Read the complete review

When Fitness First originally opened in Lincoln, I quickly regarded it as another area of th city that would remain out of bounds to me. The word fitness was not really a prominent word in my vocabulary, nor my fiancee's. The branch first opened around a year and a half ago (I think, although I could be completely wrong), and it was ...  Read the complete review

After leaving the forces 2 years ago I had been struggling to find a decent gym in my local area ( Taunton, Somerset ). Fitness first opened a new one last year and a couple of months ago I decided to check it out. Best gym I've been to by far ( and I've been to a lot). Very friendly staff, absolutely no need to feel self concious if this ...  Read the complete review
