Weakness First

Went for a tour at Fitness First today.

For a club touting exclusivity for 3 times the amount I currently pay for Cali, its One George St branch was a complete disappointment. Sure it had the most talked about swimming pool - a panoramic unblocked birdseye view of the Cityhall/Esplanade area by the poolside, and they provided sweat shirts and pants for workouts, but everything fundamental was a letdown.

For starters the gym was terribly small, probably half the size of the smallest Cali outlet(I assume it to be the Bugis one). I think there were 10 treadmills at most. Its layout was terrible, with the lounge smack right in the middle of the gym(some might like it that way), giving the loungers a voyeuristic view of everyone else working out, and there seemed to be a shortage of equipment. The classroom was about half the size of the Bugis Cali outlet and it didn't even have a secondary bike room whatsoever. Finally the changing room was super small and cramped, shampoo dispenser was spoilt and only 8, yes 8 showers *gasp*.

Shaun had a funny incident where his bag clip got stuck in another locker and couldn't be removed(its hard to describe). But it just made our experience there even worse when the staff didn't help much.

I think I'll stick to Cali for the time being...
