August 8, 200917 yr I wanted to test this gym as I have heard great things about it from people I have met in Bangkok. I went there in the early afternoon one day, one evening during peak hours and one morning. At no time was there every too many people there to work out. It was fairly quiet and relaxing the entire time. Unlike California Wow, there is no loud boom boom music. It is a much more relaxing atmosphere to exercise in. Upon entry, they will supply you with a shirt and shorts and towel for working out. (yes, that had all sizes even for a big man like me) All you need is your shoes. The bathrooms are so clean you want to walk barefoot and very nicely decorated with a wonderful steam room and dry heat room. The lockers are made of wood and each have a key. There was always several attendants on staff in the bathroom. They offer free sodas and coffee to members. The juice bar is not free but very nice. The equipment at Fitness First is in excellent condition and all were easy to use. I did have a few questions and they had a staff of trainers to answer everything. The cost to join normally varies according to the length of time you contract for. But, normally around 10k bath to join PLUS 2500 a month for membership. Of course, when you refuse, they will offer you free joiners and try to get you to stay. For the monthly, you need a CC for them to take off every month. The gym is mostly Asian and I didn't see many "white" foreigners. They have these places all over Asia so I did run into several from Singapore and Hong Kong. They were pretty well off Thais to stay at this place and it had the air that they knew it as well. The class are Les Mills and excellent. They are the same classes as offered at California Wow. If you don't mind the money are not looking looking for bathroom steam room sex (rampant at some of the California places I have seen) then this place is for you. I thought it was a fantastic experience. I didn't join them but I am glad I got to work out there a few times! http://www.fitnessfirst.co.th
