fitness first is so dodgy....
do not join if ur thinking about it and if ur already a member, well good luck getting out.
i used to be a member 4 years ago and i thought i had a frustrating time getting out. i just came to a stage where i had no time to go to the gym and so decided to cancel my membership. but informing the company several times, i realized that nothing was happening. i was told that they needed something in writing and a legitimate reason. what the hell??? anyway, i gave them what they wanted and then they insisted on a questionnaire which asked me why i wanted to quit 15 times in different ways. after all this farce, i found that i had ended up paying for an extra month that i didnt use. but i was just happy to be rid of fitness first so i didnt mind too much about the extra $60...
now, fitness first are apparently demanding either a medical certificate saying that ur not fit to exercise or proof of overseas travel before they "allow" u to cancel ur membership. otherwise they go on charging u. it must be illegal i'm sure, but some people i know have been caught up with fitness first and ended up wasting a lot of money (and still losing money). so be very careful when dealing with this fraudulent company- look around, make sure uv had a look at all ur options before go to fitness first...
