Try Fitness International at LKG Tower, Ayala Avenue.

Their instructors are qualified and some are professional and titled bodybuilders. Di tulad ng ibang gyms na yung mga instructors nila, lumaki lang katawan, pwede nang maging instructor.

Also, the rates are very reasonable.

Mura na yan para sa Makati area. Saka maganda ang facilities nila.

Fitness First.

it's in the 8th floor of the robinson summit building. the phone number's 8130761.

:hippie:

Vandolph, may website ba ang Fitness International? And magkano naman ang rates? What's LKG Tower's exact location along Ayala Avenue? I mean, what landmarks ang katapat or katabi niya?

Yung binanggit mo bang P2,000 eh annual membership fee? Wala siyang lifetime ano?

1. No website
2. PhP 2,000+ annual membership, PhP 1,400+ monthly due
3. I don't know if they have a package for lifetime membership, which I don't recommend
4. Exact address is LKG Tower Level 12B, Ayala Avenue. Telephone numbers: 8841161 to 64
5. The building is beside the Smart Center or PLDT Tower, three buildings from the corner of Ayala and Herrera. It is on the left side if you are heading towards Buendia. ABN Amro Bank is at the ground floor of the building.

Hmmm ayaw ko yung ambiance ng Fitness First. Parang bading na bading yung dating. Parang gusto kong mag-ballroom dancing instead na mag-workout. Parang bar. ahehehehehe

[blakedaddy]

if you guys can afford it and really want to train seriously, then I would recommend that you go to gold's

[Brandon96]

Pare, ang Fitness International ba eh spartan ang gym o aircon din and glossy ang floor, equipment, and furnishings? Altho I'd agree with you, medyo "health club" talaga ang dating ng Fitness First pero OK na rin yan for my needs. Kung di lang mahal at malayo kasi ang Gold's Gym eh di doon ako. I bet Gold's at Makati is now the veritable mecca of bodybuilding, health and fitness in the Philippines, like it was in California years ago, and perhaps still is today.:)

Aircon din ang Fitness International at carpeted pa ang flooring. May sauna, lockers and showers with toilettries. It's not as fancy as Gold's and Fitness First.

I think Gold's is just hyped. Kasi bago pa. Pag nagtagal yan, it will be just like Clark Hatch. If you are really serious with bodybuilding, you don't need those fancy lights, trimmings and expensive monthly dues. Importante ay yung equipment at trainor mo. Nag-workout din ako sa mga jologs na gym noon na may mga equipment na kinakalawang.

IMO I don't think Gold's is hyped. I tjust happens to be the #1 gym chain in the world. Have you happened to check out the equipment?? Though I am a firm believer in the use of free weights, I think that they have excellent equipment and as a lot of my friends who have seen the place say that it is worth the investment.

Yeah. I've seen the place. I am also a member of Gold's abroad.
I hope they are able to maintain the quality here in the Philippines.

how much ba yung membership fee sa gold's gym? diba may annual fee yun plus monthly? how about sa fitness first?

[natalie_sod]

membership fee's 2500 ata. 1 time payment. + admin fee of 1200 one time payment din. if you get passport membership, it's 1980 a month, if home membership, it's 1800 a month ata.

tawag ka na lang dun if you like. the number's 8130761. :D

:hippie:

[blakedaddy]

gold's has three different plans and the monthly rates vary

gold's single is about 2500
gold's platinum is about 1500
gold's charter is about 750

vandolph,

I think they will maintain the standards knowing the name they have to live up to

[Brandon96]

Blake, pare, please specify details of Gold's Gym membership plans. Lifetime din ang membership di ba, at hindi annual fee? Ano naman ang pinagkaiba ng privileges at amenities ng charter, platinum, at silver memberships?

[blakedaddy]

gold's single: around 15k ang lifetime membership and 2500 ang monthly fees
gold's platinum :41k lifetime, 1500 monthly, I think you start paying monthly by the 2nd yr

gold's charter:75k lifetime, you start paying monthly on the 3rd yr, 5oo ang monthly, 5 VIP passes/mo and 10% discount on the juice bar and pro shop

[pinbox]

check niyo june, july or august bill niyo... baka kasi nadoble din kagaya nung sa amin ng friends ko... nagpalit kasi yata ng nag collect nung payment and old database yata na submit ng fitness first dun sa new na taga collect... check niyo na lang din. :D

[Brandon96]

I'm a Fitness First Libis branch member. My comments na negative:

a) up to now we haven't been billed fo the past 2 months. baka magdoble doble or magkaproblem ang charges namin gaya ng mga Makati dudes like Pinbox said.

b) sabi sa brochure they embrace and follow "one set to failure" in weight training, in short, HIT (High Intensity Training). Pero ang binigay na workouts sa amin sa simula eh hindi ganon.

c) hindi ako sigurado kung certified or skilled ang mga weight training instructors ng FF. kasi ang una kong program devised from scratch ng isa sa mga PT girls na floorwalkers eh. in my experience kasi, ang mga PT walang alam sa weight training and nutrition, sa stretching and rehab lang sila magaling.

c) bakit sila nagse-serve ng softdrnks?

I share the same sentiments. Based on what I've seen and heard from some members, most of the instructors are not qualified and dont have the credentials.

Bakit nga ba libre and softdrinks dun? dapat nga ipagbawal nila pag-inom ng softdrinks, iced tea and coffee.

[Brandon96]

How do I terminate my membership with Fitness First? I don't recall being told how to end my membership in case I should move to the United States (where there are no FF branches).

[pinbox]

Brandon96 fill up ka lang termination form dun. or puede ka mag fax ng letter stating your reason... lagay mo na rin member id mo.

kakainis naka freeze na nga account ko doble pa ako na charge nung normal rate. and doble din na charge nung freeze rate. tsk tsk tsk.
