    If I can give 0 star, I would. I usually avoid writing negative reviews as I understand the difficulties of business operations in Singapore. Given that FF is marketed as a premium gym, I am appalled at the horrible customer service, and how transactions are charged without transparency, general discourteous and rudeness from the staff when it comes to $$. There were multiple red flags which I should have noticed and not sign up with them, but I decided to give them the benefit of doubt. 1. I signed up their 12 + 6 months promo in Aug’21 since covid was still surging, thinking that it might be a great idea. When the sales point person told me about it, I was not told that it was an upfront payment until the moment I came down to the branch to make payment. Their poor communication skills was written off as I thought maybe they needed the revenue upfront. 2. Yet when I asked for an invoice with the T&C as they made me sign some stuff, they DID NOT give me a physical nor digital copy which made me felt that it was too shady for a supposedly premium gym, which on hindsight is a fallacy. 3. Fast forward to Dec’22/Jan’23, I ask them on the status of my membership end date as I was not comfortable that no news. I emailed on 31st Dec’22 to no reply, and I even followed up to no reply nor a simple courtesy to say that it was PH. 4. Then, I somehow saw that they charge me $30+, even though I am still within my 12+6 months promo period..and they DID NOT have the decency to tell me that I was charged, and that happened during the midst of me asking them a question via email but they did not reply AT ALL. 5. When I finally received an email reply which was addressed to the staff who handled my sales and invoice on Aug’21, the reply was given by ANOTHER person who BOLDLY state that my membership is ending as it was a 12+4 plan. So when did the terms change and why was I not informed??? 6. To exacerbate the matter, they told me that I was charged a freeze because of my request. When I initially signed, my sales guy said I could do 2 months freeze if I want, but he DID NOT tell me there are any charges..any reasonable guy will think that it is complimentary as I am already paying a huge amount upfront and this is part of the perks of signing the 12+6 months promo, you get to freeze your membership for 2 months anytime you want, and implicitly for free. 7. I was told that the deduction for the freeze was OVERCHARGED and it will be offset in another billing cycle!!??? How does one make such a mistake and why can’t the transaction be reversed? At this point, I am considering of raising this as a case of fraud as I did not receive any bill PRIOR to any charge. For some reason, I think this is NOT RIGHT AT ALL, and should I cancel my credit card then to protect myself further? 8. When another email was replied, I was told that my membership can be cancelled etc, but they cannot REVERSE the freeze charge. Given that I am cancelling more than 1 month in advance, I thought a reasonable vendor will waive the charge as I am forfeiting my membership two months in advance w/o clawing back any money. 9. I am oversimplifying the encounter here, but my main discomfort here is the type of staff FF has in responding to queries. Why resort to such predatory behaviour, and providing replies that does not respond to queries. IF the media/influencers are interested, I can share the email thread as it was a source of frustration from such unprofessional behaviour. 10. The issue now is not the charge but how it was handled, and I am writing this to discourage anyone who wants to be fit to even consider signing up at this branch..unless you are prepared to pay NEEDLESSLY, with charges that are NOT conveyed transparently. tldr; AVOID this establishment for your fitness goals, IF you want to retain financial peace of mind, as the team will hide behind random guidelines that is NOT told to you upfront at the point of payment.

    Big specious gym with a good number equipment both in aircon and external space. Have a studio for group exercise classes conducted by experience, friendly lady trainer who really cares to help participants the proper tactic/posture of performing various tracks that day be it strength (or resistance) exercises. Making you feel welcomed and loved. Thereafter can relax/swim in the lap pool overlooking the sea of Labrador Park. Comes with jacuzzi too.

    Nice location, great equipment, very clean. But be warned, very crowed. The wait time for classes can be up to 30 mins! Pretty high price for the crowd.

    Pros: I love the heated swimming pool, great views and friendly staff. Li Hua's classes are great. Cons: Crowded. Extremely small free weights area compared to Market Street, so it's kinda dangerous to squeeze and move around at 6-8 pm. Hygiene is extremely low in the men's changing rooms. Dirty / sweaty shirts and shorts are routinely left in lockers or lying on the floor instead of being cleared at regular intervals. Luckily, the women's locker rooms are a lot cleaner.

    The gym is spacious, cleaned, and not too crowded. A very nice environment. Staff are friendly and helpful. The classes are held in a room with a stage and mirror. Good for zumba and bodycombat.The pool is sheltered and has jacuzzi at some spot and is usually not too crowded. Once in a while, got freebie such as hand sanitiser, orange, and apple.

    Place is clean and cozy, spaces between weight machines are quite narrow, FGT located outside the aircon area, its 50/50 for me,I like fresh air,its windy but the atmosphere was humid.(when humid and temperature is quite high, it give me hard time to breathe or catch up my breath), locker room and shower area is clean. I gave it 4 star, I would say its the gym place that I will visit again even if its quite far from our place. Better than the other I went to.

    Weight areas during off peak hours are taken up by trainers. Not suitable for powerlifting too as trainers will approach to remind you not to slam a 165kg DL weight while some of them do so. A lack of understanding of how heavy it is or impossible to gently put down the weight that is deemed possible by the trainers with no demonstration. Really unprofessional. A basic gym for basic gym goers who may not truly want to seek progress.

    One of the best gyms in Singapore. I was sceptical before the joining, as the rates were pretty high, but after 2 months now, it feels worth and productive. Being near my office, its very handy for me. Other things like swimming pool class on Saturday, Sauna room and TRX equipments are cool as well. 🙂✌🏼

    It has a thrilling view with a sight of horizontal line of sky and sea waters meeting at a distance. Huge ships loaded with containers moving slower than sloths are visible on the sea, give a feeling that they look like toy ships. To top the already exciting scene, they even have an infinity pool to enjoy the beauty with relaxed mindset. A great place to enjoy the workout with amenities like, free flow of health drinks, changing rooms and swimming pool. Cool breeze always energises the tired body, giving anyone an inspiring feeling and joy.

    Hi, I’m very upset with Mapletree branch. Last month, I resigned the job and left Singapore. So on Jan 20th, I asked Patrick Pequiras and Cassandra Hidayat to cancel my membership from Feb, and provided the official EP cancellation to waive the cancellation fee. It was very disappointing that they didn't actively help me on this, but responded very slow and kept delaying the process. It hasn’t done until now, Feb 11th! Please get it done!

  • 4/5 Sourav B. 1 year ago on Google • 6 reviews
    Gym is really good. And the swimming pool is an absolute treat for the eyes. Trainers are good enough but are quite few. You have to take personal training for the gym floor if you want their attention. But you can always opt for group classes which are quite recommended. Best of luck in your fitness journey

    It's okay. Not as big as FF Bugis or Marketplace (Raffles City). Some of the equipment isn't the most modern either (some ActiveSG gyms have similar equipment)
