at the same range of price, u can try ezdan towers in west bay. their gym is at the 4 th floor with a SWIMMING POOL. no trouble parking, no gender separation.

BUT:

-u have to pay for a locker every day or yearly subscribtion!!!!!!!

-and their bathroom and shower are terrible: they really suck (and they don't care since majority of members are hotel residents that can just go shower in their room).

- there is no tariner insight. no one to teach u, or tell u what to do.

i invite some of my friends from ezdan to fitness first for a couple of visits just to ask the monitors (and they are very helpfull and professional) for a program.

No gym can trim anyones belly...have you tried cutting down your food intake? I heard its the best way to lose weight.

i am a member in FF and i like it.

the annual fee is 4800 for the first year, afterward it's 3600. no one ever told me anything about credit card number or else. i pay cash.

disadvantages: not mixed (gender separated), and what i find most annoying is CC parking.

otherwise i do recommend it.

I was going to FF

they make only 6 month contract or a year contract, and they need a visa card so they deduct every month from it..

Seriously i went there for 3 months only and then i got bored,and their bathrooms and showers are not clean as there machines are not working perfectly, and i was paying the rest of months only because i have to but i wasn't going...as they told me if i dont want to go to the gym any more i have to pay the rest cash and they will cancel my membership..Its just sucks!

They usually have a joining fee of about 1,200 (sometimes it is waived though if they have promotions) and monthly payment costs QR 399. If you sign up, they will require you to provide your credit card as this is automatically charged monthly for a year.

Be sure you know what you are doing before signing up with Profit First. There is no way out of their contract. You may want to try somewhere on a monthly rate first before committing to a year or more contract.
