expired Free Entry to Fitness First on Presentation of Your American Express Card

250

Just received a flyer in the mail today which reads:

"Trade Happy Hours for Happy Days - present your American Express Card for free entry to Fitness First on Tuesdays and Thursdays in July"

It goes on to say that it can be used on any Tuesday or Thursday in July to attend classes or just workout for free. Apparently the casual rate is usually $25.

To gain free entry you need to show your Amex card at reception, and you can invite a friend along for a freebie as well each time you visit.

    "As well as receiving free entry, you will also be pressured into signing a yearly contract."

      I wonder if they'd let you pay with AMEX on that yearly contract?

      •  

        Yes they would. I am paying my membership with AMEX.

        When I was a student, I got bad credit because of Fitnessfirst.

        They signed me up to a contract without telling me.

          My general rules is never give direct debit details…to anyone…ever!

          The guy took my credit card and in my naivete I thought it was for ID.

    Last time my friend "won" a day for free at Fitness First. Showed up all ready to go, and was told she still would have to sign up. Feeling inclined to neg this unless someone can prove that it is possible to walk in and make use of this without harassment or conditions.

      I've done a gym trial before and I did need to fill in a certain amount of paperwork…basically disclaimers and other 'cover your arse if you break your leg' documentation. I have no issue with this, and when I told them a firm no after my trial that was pretty much that.

        Thanks, that's useful to know. Wonder if that's across the board, though.

      given ff's reputation, i doubt it very much.. lol

      My gf has been taking me on her membership with free entry on weekends - usually have to sign in each time like RSL club sign in, (sometimes just get waved through) and they haven't called me yet.

    Is free entry to FF that hard to acquire?

    Every so often they set up stalls @ Shopping Centres or outside their CBD gyms handing out free passes.

    Then there are offers for members to bring friends etc.

    I am sure I could walk up to a FF and ask for a 1 or 2 week trial.

    FF want as many peeps to come in for a trial as possible, to maximise this ‘numbers game’.

    Hi, is it possible to scan (and post link to ) the flyer you've received ? Thanks

  •  

    Been to many of their different free trials. After the initial trial, they contacted me and I told them I was already a member somewhere else. Since then no more calls.
    I use the free trials since it's convenient as there are so many Fitness Firsts to choose from.

    Is this all fitness first, even the platinum clubs?

    •  

      Just called up Chaddie FF which is a platinum club and they confirmed the deal is indeed on :)
