dont see how that is the prices?

Cant put exact number but expect 20K+ for yearly and 1500+ for single trip

[beechguy]

Wouldn't it just make more sense, to ask them directly and be done with it?

Yearly rate will run around 28k baht for 12 months. I think they'll throw in an extra month if you pay cash for the full year.

Edit: this is for the Platinum membership.

go to google and check out the complaints page for FF my daughter and I had no end of trouble with this company in Australia, I would not touch them with a 10 foot barge pole

Like pretty much all the gyms in Asia getting a simple answer to a simple question on price is virtually impossible.

It will change even as you speak to your "negotiator" as he tries to get you into longer term contracts or to buy packages of personal training.

Not just FF, California is a nightmare, ditto Physical in Hk.

No idea what you mean by "drop in rate" but a 1-year membership to Fitness First in Thailand in fixed pricing. There is no negotiation possible, unlike many other gyms and what has been stated here. It's take it or leave it.

You pay an admin fee, another one-time fee (don't remember what it's called), but one of those fees is credited to your account after you visit something like 12 times in four weeks (again, I forgot exactly).

For a year, it costs maybe 30K bt including tax (billed 1/12 monthly) -- I think about 22k+ or US$80) for a platinum membership (all clubs). My wife and I have belonged for about 18 months, joined and primarily use the Siam Paragon branch since that's our neighborhood. I asked for a discount for two members, but refused and no discounts of any kind given to anyone I know of. If there is a cash-upfront discount, that wouldn't surprise me, but I was not aware of that.

Shorter contracts are something like 10-20% more, but the admin fees remain, so can get expensive for a short term membership.

We were also members of FF in Singapore, and use it there now during our travels. It costs slightly less here, but not as much as you would think. Singapore had a family plan giving a discount for additional members, but no such thing in Thailand.

I would also disagree that this is one of the usual slimy fitness companies (of which Cal Fitness was horrible). It's a good organization, although the Paragon branch can be very packed at peak hours.

Facilities are generally nice and new, but Landmark is an exception, we found it old and crappy there so never use that branch (sometimes go to Chong Nonsi).

I think there is little if any price difference for a Platinum membership, but maybe a Landmark-only membership would be a bit less than the numbers I mentioned.

Just drop by the club...you will have to sit through the usual spiel from a sales rep to get the info, but they won't aggressively harass you afterward like Cali Fitness would (if you are worried, just don't give them your phone number).

Bottom line, it's a reputable company in Thailand, unlike in some other locations. Resigning in Singapore was straightforward, and billing has been no problem here either.

P.S., if you are hoping to see hot-body women in sexy outfits in the Bangkok gyms, forget it. They dress mostly in the FF-provided clothes, baggy and not flattering...very rare to see a hottie at the gym, huge difference from the beauties in Singapore -- and quite a hit to the motivation level

Good luck
