    Probably the best gym in Colombo. Annual fee is around 65k and for couples 45k each. It has pretty much every cool facility a gym should have, a great array of machines for each muscle, A/C, cool background music, sauna, steam room, pool, hot showers and cute boys. But, the trainers prefer to be paid and booked as personal trainers, therefore, as a regular member, you may have to wait/beg to get hold of them to get an advice. Some evenings can get busy to get hold of some machines.

    Good gym, excellent 25m pool, but only one squat rack and not much floor space for yoga and freestyle stuff. Sauna and steam were out of action when I went 23/4. 2000 rupee day pass

    The worst experience ever! I don't really understand the role of the trainers over there. I was introduced to a trainer after i signed up and he didnt seem very interested in helping me at all and wanted me to sign up for the personal training program. I asked the person at the reception before joining if i would have a trainer train me and give me a schedule he said yes. After one week i go today and i hear 2 trainers speaking behind me saying that my form is wrong. Isn't it their job to correct my form if they know its wrong. They d rather stand and gossip than correct my form? Place does look fancy but with classless people hired as trainers. Id atleast expect my trainer to be fake interested because i did pay premium for my membership.

    Some of the treadmills are a little ‘sticky’ when you run, like the tread needs replacing. But there is plenty of treadmills to choose from. Stair masters!! Which is rare to find in Asia gyms! Rowers needs upgrading but other than this we had a good session. Pretty busy gym though so probably best to get there early early morning. They were kind enough to give us a day free trial which was super handy as we were testing out gyms in the area. Air con gym too 👌🏼

    Fitness Oasis in Hot Conditions! I've found a hidden gem of a gym in Colombo that's a game-changer, especially in hot conditions. The simplicity of this gym is its strength – it gets straight to the point without compromising effectiveness. The price is fare in my understanding of the local currency. Despite the scorching heat outside, the gym's atmosphere is surprisingly cool and inviting. The friendly staff create a welcoming environment, always ready with a smile and a helpful hand. The camaraderie among fellow gym mates adds a positive energy that makes every workout enjoyable. While some may consider the machines a bit dated, they all function perfectly fine, proving that you don't need the latest gadgets for a solid workout. The straightforward setup ensures a hassle-free experience, allowing you to focus on your fitness goals without any unnecessary distractions. Overall, this gym is a refreshing find for those who prefer a straightforward approach to fitness, with the added benefit of a welcoming community. Kudos to the staff and gym mates for making it a place I genuinely look forward to sweating it out in, even in the heat!

    Great location in the heart of Colombo.. You can actually cycle or jog outdoors at the nearby park instead if doing cardio in the machines.. Fot steam room sauna & pool access too..

    Wanted to test out the gym before choosing the monthly option, but daily pass costs 2000 LKR (!!) - amazingly expensive. Didn't go because of that. Monthly pass is apparently 10000 LKR, which is not that bad.

    All round gym inclusive of sauna, steam room and a pool for a good price. Suggest to take the yearly membership so that you get a 10% discount of the whole price (65k) and come frequently. Hot showers are an added bonus.

    From 6pm - 8pm it gets super crowded on Mondays and Wednesdays, so I suggest you come in late on those days. The staff is super friendly and helpful, shout out to roshindu! The people who come to workout are super chill as well. The only gym my wife will come to because the environment is safe. All the equipment is working, and they maintain it well. Overall the vibe is very chill, me and my wife have been coming for over an year now, and will continue forward.

    This is one of the few places where you can gain access to a swimming pool and a gym for a pretty decent price in Colombo.

  • 2/5 Mohammed F. 1 year ago on Google
    I have visited this gym for 3 years ago. I want to add my experience what happened that made me totally quit the gym. I have been a loyal customer of this gym for over 3 years. The gym is spacious, has a great atmosphere and a bunch of great people to workout. Very friendly people. During the period of my stay, this gym was going into a transition of changing all the equipment for over 2 to 3 weeks. During this period most of the gym members who were close with the owner got offered different gym membership WTC. I spoke with the front office and called the owner he suggested me to use the gym which the government provided in Independence square. I asked why he allowed other members while he cant for me. He didn't have a answer. I just cut the call and never renewed my membership for such idiotic owners. I am paying a premium for this gym. I could pay the same money for a different gym and get atleast 3 or 4 years of gym membership. But i chose this gym because of the premium offerings they provide me. So at that point itself he should have known better when he suggested me to goto a govemerment gym in Independence square. Like littlerally double standards because he offered some members gyms in WTC. No point staying loyal to such gyms! Because end of the day. You pay a premium and they treat you bad.

    Okay gym, can get super crowded in the evenings. Surprised to see they don’t offer the simple amenity of being able to refill water bottles, only selling plastic bottles.

    Rock solid spot for someone addicted to fitness. Everything from pool access, a steam room and sauna is included. The machines and equipment are kept in top condition. The trainers are very helpful, and they have a killer kitchen that makes fantastic meals for those who might need their services.

  • 5/5 Musthafa S. 10 months ago on Google • 50 reviews
    Been 6 months since I became a member at Fitness First. One of the best gym’s in Colombo. Clean and good equipments and a decent swimming pool. My personal trainer Ms.Sandali always keeps me motivated.

  • 1/5 abc p. 3 months ago on Google • 27 reviews New
    Used to be good, now most of the instructors spend time bantering with their gym buddies loudly disturbing other gym goers plus blocking access to equipment in the process.

  • 4/5 Earl De S. 2 months ago on Google • 18 reviews New
    I enjoy working here. Has all the equipment needed. Clean place and good vibes all around. Staff could be a tad friendlier but I got no qualms. Price wise on the expensive side but worth every penny. I mean with inflation in Srilanka it makes sense. So overall a good experience.

  • 4/5 Nuwan J. 2 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Ranil R. 1 year ago on Google

    Great place for fitness enthusiasts and very capable and friendly trainers. Good value for money specially the packages which are reasonable for the gym services. Specially the opening hours are very good and convenient for all type of people. You never feel the harsh environment Eventhough they have rules amd regulations. Particularly You can meet the pleasant face Mr.Farath in reception when you enter the gym who is capable to handle whatever your problems in gym with politely. And finally Mr.Vinith who is the manager as well as trainer , Very commendable person for his behavior as well as the vast knowledge of the training sessions and he particularly offers very tailored and suitable schedule for each and every client. the above all are my personal experiences hopefully you will experience amazing fitness life here.

    This gym is amazing, they've got all the necessary equipment. The trainers are professional and know what they are doing, great guidance. If you want to lose weight and tone this is the place for it. You get great results when you work out with motivation ppl.

  • 2/5 Victor A. 9 months ago on Google
    Good gym. But I didnt get any personal focus after working out with trainer, unfortunately if u want to have serious professional plan with result tracking, diet, etc this is not right place. Stuff and trainer just saying he knows what i need and dont care about my goals.

  • 5/5 Vidarshi W. 9 months ago on Google
    It's busy but has an amazing staff who's helpful and attentive. Facilities are clean and decent and the crowd is as decent. Pool gets hectic during the evening but the area is kept super clean!

  • 3/5 Lakshith M. 1 year ago on Google
    You get what you pay for the price. Nothing more or nothing less. For 75K you get gym + pool + steam room access which is worthy. Gym - it's well equipped but the space is small so during rush hour on week days ( 6 - 7.30 pm) it gets so packed. Sometimes you have to wait for quite a while to use some machines and weights. Wish the management stopped issuing new memberships since it's getting way too packed. Mens changing room is good but most of the lockers are broken so most of the time you won't be getting a locker even on a weekend. So best not to take valuables into the gym such as wallets.

  • 5/5 nethul w. 1 year ago on Google
    One of the best Gyms I have ever worked out in, with the best equipment in the market and the most helpful staff I have ever met. Highly recommend to regular gym goers or those planning to get started. Keep up the good work guys.

  • 5/5 Aatif A. 1 year ago on Google
    By far the best gym to work out, Both for locals & foreigners. Good equipment & machines. They have one of the best Suppliment corners for any needs and a Protein corner to snack on some Healthy food & treats. The Staff are really helpful and assist you with any needs at the gym.

  • 5/5 Zimar K. 1 year ago on Google
    This has been my gym for almost a decade. Trainers are super helpful and the gym has all the equipment you need. The culture built by the owners and the staff make me feel at home. Hands down - Best gym in Sri Lanka 💪🏾

    Fitness First is my first gym experience and it has been beyond my expectations!! The gym environment is outstanding. Remarkably my trainer Ms. Sandali Kumarasinghe is very energetic and understanding. It has only been less than a month & I have already achieved half of my goals. I highly recommend her training and the gym to anyone interested to get in fit.🔥

    while agreeing its the best Gym around the area , spacious , well equipped and great place to work out in Colombo, there are too many personal trainers.. if you don't use them, they just stand next to you, in your face, until you finish using the machines, to grab the machine and give it to the person whom they train. the two guys at the reception desk are the only accommodating people , who are ready to help. this is one of the best Gym's in the area, therefore I like working out there.
