Gyms Stacko

With the mushrooming of gym outlets in klang valley, it’s interesting to weigh the fitness centre operators against each other and see whether we have all made the right choice.

Currently, Fitness First has the most outlets in M’sia (11 with the biggest outlet located in Axis, 22,000 sq ft) Next comes Celebrity Fitness with 3 outlets, with the largest in Subang Parade at 36,000 sq ft and the 4th outlet due to be opened in Bangsar Village in March (i think).

California Fitness which took over Sweat Club in MidValley boasts a large gym outlet of 55,000 sq ft, equipped with an outdoor swimming pool and jacuzzi. The 3rd outlet is due to open in Sunway Pyramid 2 comes July this year. The newcomer, True Fitness has todate opened 2 mammoth outlets, 1 in Hartamas (a block of 10 shop lots covering 70,000 sq ft) and another in Taipan, USJ covering 80,000 sq ft!!! Their 3rd brand new signature outlet is due to open in Section 14 in mid March, also covering around 70,000 sq ft. It comes equipped with an Olympic size pool, spa, pedicure and manicure areas. All data (except for True Fitness) were extracted from the NST article “Health is Wealth”.

For the use of the 11 FF outlets, I’m currently paying a monthly subs of RM175. A home membership costs around RM147 (not sure). True Fitness quoted me a monthly subs of more than RM200 for a home membership alone!!
