    This club is spacious. Plenty of machines and equipments. Coaches are very nice and friendly. However, I suggest consider to train your receptionists in proper approaching members. Every time I arrive they're always busy scrolling up their mobile phones despite being aware that you are in front of them, waiting someone will approach you and scan your membership card. The work-out facilities are well-maintained even though it's old. But shower and toilet are a bit messy. Slippery floor and smells fetid. One of expensive gym club. So members expects something reasonable services.

    Most of the staff are polite. Bathrooms need upgrading. Nothing but great things to say about the weights though. Equipment is decent. The only problem here are the members of the gym. Poor gym etiquette.

    The amenities are now showing its age but it’s still a nice place to workout. I love their coffee area. I usually stay here to relax before or after a workout. I just wish they could offer cold drinks. The trainers and their staff are all friendly. I just hope they could fix the showers, the locker room area and some non working headphone contraption on the treadmill. I think it has been more than a year since I last saw it working. It’s not a cheap gym so I expect that everything should be repaired and in order.

  • 4/5 Karlota Chaler S. 4 years ago on Google • 58 reviews
    Super place for a good training. Big space, with machines for every part of your body, lots of weights mainly on the 2nd floor, areas to streech and have a personal training, and, the best for me, tons of treadmills and bikes. The staff are friendly and helpful if you need them, you have plenty of water machines, and spacious lockers with all you may need:showers, wc, private changing areas, driers... The atmosphere is great and even gets crowded from 5pm on. Loved it there. Didn't put 5 stars due to the price. 550pesos for a day pass, more expensive than my gym in BCN, and you can only join the gym if you can stay for 5months.

    Good staff, assertive trainors. Only negative is the amenities are so outdated. Maybe management will consider any rehab of the facilities

    Horrendous personal training service. They do it for the money. Knowledge in training‘s very insufficient.

    the first time i entered this gym i immediately regret paying online. once i entered, i was overcome with the noxious smell of sweat and body odor. it was obvious to my senses that the gym is filthy. in my previous memberships, we have a bottle of spray and towel at every corner so if we use something we spray and after we are done with our workout we throw the towel on the laundry bin. also, it was evident that there was also neglect in terms of maintenance. the treadmills, tv, air-conditioning unit are broken. also, i suggest dong drink the free water from the water station. the gym is so filthy that i cant guarantee you that it's not contaminated.

    If you’re a foreigner don’t come here. I speak English natively and was treated as if my money was not as good as a Filipinos. I have never felt as unwanted and disrespected as I did when I went to this gym..... They make you sign contacts but if you have a foreign bank just be smart and cancel payments through your bank. This place is a complete cash grab .

    Their customer service is pretty bad. They are so quick to swipe your credit card and yet no follow up service. it's even difficult to get your official receipt of your payment. I sure hope Fitness First management will look into this matter. I actually expected more from them specially Fitness First is an international brand.

    Spacious workout area. Generally well maintain equipments. Slightly old but well maintained workout area. Clean toilet and shower cubicle though many shower cubicles run out of shower gel on Sunday afternoon which isn't a peak hour .

    The one-on-one sessions with their PT was a great experience. Special mention to coach Dianne. Galing po nya magturo and magsagot ng questions. Ok din ang facilities. Why 2-star? I don't like how what they did on the contract. I signed a 3month membership contract which ended last August 31, 2022. My card was charged this September for membership fee. I requested for refund. They told me that the membership is automatically extended daw unless I advised them ahead of time to terminate my membership. I emailed their support and went to Rob Manila branch yet they were firm that no refund. I am really just disappointed on this.

    (Translated by Google) the gym's most rejuvenated gym. grabe talaga. Are they immune? I just went to bed when I was there. they say airconed daw pero di ko na feel. no air inside the gym. there's just one who will die inside the gym because of the stench and lack of air. broken treadmill and tv. tho matino cr nila. They are able to charge the rate at such a dirty gym. (Original) pinakamabahong gym na pinag gym ko. grabe talaga. immune na ba sila. umalingasaw ung baho nung pagpasok ko pa lang. sabi nila airconed daw pero di ko na feel. walang hangin sa loob nang gym. onti na lang may mamamatay na sa loob nang gym dahil sa baho at kawalan ng hangin. sira treadmill at tv. tho matino cr nila. pano nila nagagawa mag charge nang ganung rate sa ganyan ka dumi na gym.

    This gym is located on the third floor of Robinson's Place mall. I toured the gym hoping to get a pass for just a few weeks while I was in town. They have a one month minimum. The price would have come to $60/mo USA; way too much for what I saw here. They had a small area for free weights and machines. Standard cardio equipment; bikes, ellipticals, and treadmills. Also, they had a dance/yoga room. Included with membership is Wi-fi. This looked like a big draw for customers here.

    Located at the 6th floor of Victoria Towers, the gym has a full complement of machines and free weights. Staff are friendly and able. Facilities include lockers, showers, and sauna, however they are in need of updating . They offer free/validated parking for 3 hours.

    Great equipment. Clean and staff is friendly. Some patrons are quick to throw dumbells which is dangerous. Day pass is P550 so a little expensive but you have everything available.

    The employees are very impressive and kind. One day is also possible. It was a very enjoyable two days. Thank you I will come again.

  • 1/5 W R. 4 months ago on Google • 104 reviews
    Extremely overpriced 1 month pass: 3,375 pesos. Gym equipment is so old, rusted, and unsanitary. The dumbells are completely rusted- they should at least add a rubber coating. Legs fall off of benches. Benches are too wide. Sounds like a train at the entrance. Terrible value for the money, old, dirty everything. Such a terrible manager.

  • 3/5 Dani C. 1 year ago on Google • 46 reviews
    Of all fitness gym and base on my experience, Fitness First is the best for me because of to many reasons about their branches, equipments, and other amenities. But ranking Fitness First all branches, Manila branch will be my least choice due to many bad experiences. No need to details. If the management could read this, I’m very willing to present my side. Nevertheless, a visit at any branch is a great experience.

    I have been a member continuously since 2005 (except during the height of the pandemic). Some areas of the gym are in need of repair such as the lockers and showers. The sound system at the GX studio is bad. Equipment and exercise machines are ok.

  • 5/5 Dennis Guy S. 5 years ago on Google
    One of the best gyms in town.

  • 4/5 Carl Roldan F. 6 years ago on Google
    Facilities are alright and quite spacious, though it really gets crowded during peak hours (e.g. dumbbells are only 2 each mass therefore you need to wait or alternate sets with others). There is a yoga/dancing area with individual mats which you can use anytime even if there is a class going on. You can also join the different classes which usually starts in the afternoon. The classes ranges from yoga, dance exercises, body combat, and many more. The equipments are functioning well, but some treadmills are not. The lockers, which is located downstairs, are also alright and secure, just bring your own padlock. A sauna and several shower rooms are also available for use in this gym. Bonus is there are some celebrities who use the gym also.

  • 5/5 Marian Agneta V. 5 years ago on Google
    I go to the gym here and the classes are great, you can choose from a lot of variety from yoga, spinning classes, boxing, spartan classes, body jam and lots more. They open around 6am-11pm during mondays to fridays and 8am-10pm during weekends. Coaches are very approachable and friendly. Equipments are very beginner friendly. Unlimited coffee and teas. Has a sauna that you can enjoy to use after workouts plus free lounge and wifi to use whenever you just need to chill there.

  • 2/5 Rene G. 4 years ago on Google
    There are many equipment that have been marked for maintenance for a long time. The sauna is barely working. There is no hot water. The shower stalls need scrubbing. Only one urinal in the men's locker is working. And sometimes the toilet area stinks really bad. But i still go there mainly because the free weights area is okay and im used to taking cold baths plus i dont use the sauna. So if you're just going to lift weights or do group exercises then its fine to go there. You'll still get a good workout.

    Big space

  • 5/5 L S. 4 years ago on Google
    For half the price of its leading competitors , AF , FF, and Slimmers world, this is still the prudent choice. Admittedly not as swanky nor as spacious as the pricier ones in the industry, it delivers in very good aerobic classes and has the equipment necessary for a gym work out. Several branches located within the city and abroad, members can choose to gain access conveniently. Been a loyal member for more than a decade. Despite a few kinks here and there, this is still the WISER choice.
