I Just Have to Complain!

OK, so this is going to be a quick post, but I just have to let out some steam. Today I started back to work in North Sydney, and as I arrived at the office this morning I noticed a Fitness First gym about 30 seconds walk away from the office. Now, I've decided that I really would like to get into some regular fitness again, so I thought during lunch that I'd go to Fitness First to check out the gym, courses and prices.

So in I go, and I met with one of their Sales people who takes me for a tour of the gym, shows me the classes they have during the week from yoga, to spinning, and then the other different rooms on the three different floors. Why are they always keen for you to know where the change rooms are as well on an initial tour of the gym? I never understand that.

Then we sit down to go through the pricing structure. Of course there is a choice of either yearly and month by month and then she comes back saying I get a reduction on the yearly contract because of where I work. OK, thanks, that's great. But wait....if I sign up today for the yearly contract I can also get the first five weeks free! Wow! But I reply that no, at the moment I'm just deciding what I'd like to do so I'll let them know. And I get told that I really have to sign up today for this amazing deal, and why (in quite a strong tone) I won't be signing up today. So I thanked her and left with her telling she'd call me in a couple of days.

Hmmpphhh...I have to say I know that is probably the way they are trained as Sales people by Fitness First but I personally find it a bit over the top, and its put me off them today. So I'm continuing to check my options! Stay tuned!
