Slimmer's World International

[insomniac]

I'm seriously considering being a member of a gym, or trying it out at least. Slimmer's comes to mind cause my mom signed up for their lifetime membership, but has never used the gym yet and might transfer membership to me. Guess just want to find out if ok sya though.

Anyways, anyone know anything about it? My major concern is the flexibility of schedules and the alaga I guess. I'm working just across from Megamall and would probably be frequenting this branch if ever I do sign up.

naka.... transfer fee would cost you like 40,000 pesos.

BG: ok lang yun P40T, kesa pay sya ng P80T or so (how much na ba ngayon for lifetime membership?) for a new one ;)

insomniac: slimmers' is one of the better fitness centers we have here, pero there are even better ones. but since u'll be getting ur mom's lifetime membership naman, then it's ok worth it na, i guess. dun ka sa megamall? nako.. i personally dont like their megamall branch much. if u can, go to their greenhills branch instead (Atlanta Place bldg along annapolis). super ok dun kesa megamall. or better still, kung malapit ka, pinaka ok yung sa pan pacific (i've heard lang from someone who goes there and who has gone to the annapolis branch with me already). hope that helps somehow :)

hmm tatay ko used to be a member in slimmers

anyways, hmm ok yung Premiere Club sa new manila. i know it's less than the 40,000 of Slimmers and better facilities.

i have been a member of SWI for so many years now, when their lifetime membership fee was still dirt-cheap (well, not exactly during that time, but compared to their rates now, it is). i frequent their binondo branch, and i can say that the facilities are quite adequate naman, and there are a lot of aero classes to choose from. ok din naman ang mga trainers, kaya lang feeling ko you have to make chika with them para ma-alagaan ka.

I've been a member of SWI for a long time na. I got my lifetime when it was really cheap and sulit. The price for a lifetime today is really expensive parang P60-80k. If your planning to use the gym regularly for atleast a decade then I guess it could be worth it. Pero check out other gyms narin there are a lot out there na not as expensive as SWI pero as good as or even better.

I too have been with the SWI for more than two years already. Well so far, ok naman para sa akin yung facilities nila. Yung trainers naman nila, tama nga sila na dapat makikaibigan ka para mabantayan ka nila paminsan-minsan. Since lifetime membership naman yung kukunin mo, puwede mong gamitin yung nutrition consultation nila para mabantayan din nila yung health mo.

Eep! :eek: PhP40,000 is way beyond my budget. But at this point I'm not pushing through with it anymore :(. (So much for my resolve :p). Not just because of the price, but because I convinced my mom to use her membership to shape up.:)

I might look for more affordable means to tone up myself, though. Maybe Taebo?

Anyway thanks to all those who replied.

Lifetime member ako sa SWI pero i discourage you coz walang "personal touch" at "Know how" ang mga Fitness trainers doon!As a matter of fact,nagsara na yung Ali mall,Galleria,
Timog atbp...(Coming Soon!)Para kaming Divisoria sa dami ng tao sa SM City at kasama na rin ang Megamall doon!
I suggest you find a better gym.Yun nga ang inquiry ko sa
Hobbies & Recreation threAD dito.You mught want to check it out! :)

I am used to work out in SM North EDSA, way back 2003 or 2004, but one of the male trainors/trainers, nakasalamin yata, first impress ko, mayabang, tapos yung isang trainor/trainer, nanayaybangan ako. Yung naging trainor/trainer ko, nickname niya ay Apple, lalake siya.
