Fitness First VS True Fitness (SG)

You feel it’s about time to hit the gym in Singapore after binging on junk food over the Chinese New Year holidays. And after much consideration, you are now looking at Fitness First VS True Fitness. To help you make a better decision, here’s a comparison of what these 2 gyms can offer you (and their cost) based on my personal experience of owning both their all-gym access membership.

	Fitness First	True Fitness
Gym Condition	New	Old
Towel Rental	Yes	Yes
Locker Rental	Yes	Yes
Locker Size	Medium to Large	Small to Medium
Workout Attire Rental	Platinum Clubs Only	No

Payment Mode	Monthly by GIRO or Credit Card	Full Amount (Pre-paid)
Monthly Cost	S$140+ (12-mth contract, early termination fee of S$200)	S$50+ (24+6mths package)

In conclusion, I believe Fitness First is a better choice if cost is not an issue to you. But if you are looking for value and willing to take the risk of paying upfront fees for 2 or more years, True Fitness is your choice.
