Fitness First Gym secrets & facts – Part 1

by Noel Chelliah on Monday, Apr 4, 2005

1. If you girls suddenly catch 1 guy checking you out… there are actually another 9 more u didnt catch.

2. If you girls are wondering why nobody is checking you out when you walk around strutting your stuff… look again! – this time, not at the guys, but their reflections in the mirror. See them looking at you now?

3. Watch this clip of the 2004 Malaysian Idol auditions. The guy with the yellow shorts singing Kylie’s ‘Spinning Around’ goes to Fitness First Menara Axis. In fact, he wears those same pair of shorts for every workout! And yes, he’s GAY. If you observe him in the gym, you can actually catch him dancing and entertaining himself by the corner. Scary…

4. More than 50% of the guys in the gym are gay… yes.. even those ugly ones. This is no big secret actually… but thought I’ll include it here anyway.

5. Gays hang out in packs. If you know 1, chances are, the 3 guys working out with him or the ones that keep saying hi/bye to him are gay too. And beware.. they hunt in packs too.

6. Some Fitness first male instructors are perverts. Just watch them during one of their personal training sessions with female members. You dont see them being that ‘up close and personal’ if it was their guy client. You have not idea how bad it is.. once I even saw a trainer almost lying on TOP of the woman… supposedly using his bodyweight to give resistance to her legs or something. YEAH RIGHT. I really wish you women would say something.. cos its so clear that theyre being indecent. I’ve been working out for many years and in so many different gyms, and let me tell you that there are OTHER ways to do it.

7. The white guy that tries to mix his expensive protein supplement WITH THE TINY PLASTIC COFFEE SPOON thingy at the juice bar is a show off and a dumbass. Hasnt he heard of a shaker before?

8. Zana the front desk girl in FF Menara Axis is ‘oh so HOT’.

9. Fitness First Subang Jaya is the ultimate pick-up branch with too much socialising going on there. Fitness First John Hancock is the ultimate gay-infested outlet. Careful.. they hang out in packs, and even whistle and wink at other guys. *shiver*

10. Their sales consultants will harass you 10x worse than your bank asking for your credit card payment. Also, some of them will talk so much about being fit and starting a healthy lifestyle etc without realising that their ass cant fit on the wooden chairs they talk to you on.

Okay.. there you go. 10 random things I could think of. Wondering how I know all the above? Well…. i just consider myself pretty observant.. and sometimes almost a mind reader even. I’ve been a regular member ever since they opened in Malaysia, and I now work out regularly at FF Menara Axis.

Got here via PPS.

I used to go to the one in Subang Jaya, and come to think of it, yes that’s place is more like a social club rather than a gym and some male instructors at Axis are a bit pervetish, now that I go there.

I usually just go to the gym, do my workout then leave. Maybe thats why I don’t really notice all these.

I go FF Menara Axis. It sucks. They have closed their OTHER parking lot for 2 weeks now and what was their story? “We don’t know. We are really working on it. The building management is responsible for that”.

Fucktards.

DM : LOL, eh, #5 is gonna pull my stocks low dude haha (i’m freaking straight). I work out with a gay training partner sometimes in FF, his pretty much the only one on par or so with the free weights.

What is with this gay bashing! Dont you know we people have hearts and are actually NICER people!? Just because we have polarity problems does not mean that we heed or should be shunned by society! **** you DM!

This fitness first gym secret and fact must be old…well first of all…zana is no more working there..u think she’s hot?..hehe must be looking at the face only..typical man..i thought only the trainers are perverts?…becos they look and admire girls and us members are not?..even thou we know who’s hot and who’s not..honestly …i think all of us (guys) are the same..we all look at women…no matter if we’re attach or not..small little pervert inside of all of us..u just hate it coz no one actually talk to u ey?..well i found out from 1 research done by ACE 2001 that 60% of an average crowd ( 1000 people) met their partners through gyms.. so it is recognize to socialize in the gym yeah?..plus where’s all the fun and motivation if u dont mingle?juz be a little bit brave sweetheart and someone will talk to u..plus u sound very wise indeed ..why not become a trainer urself?..its kinda easy critisizin others..would be a perfect trainer if ur one?..honestly u dont have to answer that…because no one is perfect u agree?n if thats the reason why u dont want to become a trainer..then dont pick on people who have the courage to at least help other’s change people’s lives darling..(althou not all trainers are like that).. i say everyone make mistake yeah..
2) u must be joking me…gays joint in FF john hancock?..try Menara spk in kl…u be happier..hehe and whats with all the gay bombing?..they so sensitive…they wouldnt hurt a fly..u think they gonna hurt u?..i bet they are more afraid to us than we to them?
subang jaya sounds happenin..need to check it out then..
3) i agree with u…the membership consultant are pushy at times..but again..thats what they are paid for..all Salesman are the same..in terms of criteria i assume..
4)regarding parking…why are alot of u complaining?..i heard FF Axis are paying RM5 k month just for u guys get some free parking..n u guys still complain?..dont be cheap..nothing is free in this world..my lil sister knows that n she’s freaking 11 years old..
plus dont worry…like DM…i dont get paid to write all this..but hey..it looks like fun..and i have some free time today..hehe bless u all!

I work out like everyday at FF Axis. But…who is this DM guy?? :-)

Jeff: I hardly frequent the Axis branch nowadays. I’m usually at Manulife, or Bukit Tinggi Klang most of the time. :)

anomie101 January 23, 2008 at 3:49 am

manulife OR Bukit Tinggi??!? both not within the same parameter!

my guess is that you live somewhere near bangsar/damansara and you work in klang. im so right arent i? hehehe

madonna: Since you know who I am… why don’t you come up and say Hi to me the next time you’re around? Of course, provided you’re not too busy dabbing on moisturiser and body lotion all over yourself and hogging the hairdryer.

Just discovered your blog, thanks to a friend of mine. Hehe, nice blog dude…so I’ll be reading it from the first post onwards. A fitness enthusiast here as well =)

People here have go to chill a bit. I don’t think DM is gay bashing in any way, just pointing out his observations of gay people in different gyms perhaps. Anyways, I’m gay too and think this post is rather funny XD

Drop by my blog (rather new) too:

Mark: a friend of yours? who? Yeah.. I’m not gay bashing… and by the way, this is a really old post, and the past year and the one before that has been a real turning point for me.. so you may notice that my blog posts nowadays are pretty different, compared to when I was … uhmmm.. what shall I call it.. a virgin blogger? Heh heh.

Anyway, stick around, and I hope you benefit from all that I’ve written here.

Im not a fan of Fitness First in any country. It is a dishonest company and one that tricks people into signing up into long term, expensive contracts. Stay away!
