It was the month of July when wifey talked to me about joining a fitness centre. I was in shocked when wifey called to discuss with me on this.
Firstly, my pay is not high and he is schooling, paying a monthly fee of more than 100 bucks can be pretty strainous on both of us financially.
Secondly, I read and heard many stories of gay guys picking up each other and having sexual encounters in the sauna and steam room of fitness centres. Kinda scary.
Thirdly, I had never believe in spending money to torture myself physically. Especially when I usually train my IPPT by jogging and doing exercise using the public facilities that are FOC.
When I voice out my concerns, wifey was disaapointed with me. Wifey has been putting on weight and his last measured Blood Pressure (BP) was slightly on the high side. Further more, there are family history of stroke cases due to high BP in his family line, thus he is worried for his own health.
Honestly, I didn't know that much as I only heard from him about his slight high BP measurement during his practical test when Nad took his BP. Other than that, all other information was not informed and I will never ever jeopadise my wife's health for money.
After knowing the seriousness about his health condition, I did not waste time to search through the internet for the different fitness centres and the packages they offer. I also called and arranged for appointments to meet the agents from various fitness centres to know in details of their offers. However, only Fitness First (FF) replied promptly. Me and wifey then went down to meet the agent together at Ang Mo Kio Hub.
The agent from FF is very friendly and gave us a clear explaination of the package they offered. Other than that, he also tried to waive off as much fee as possible, even the adminstration fee of new members after knowing wifey is a student. This greatly helps us to reduce our financial load for the first payment for the fitness centre.
Wifey and me had earlier discussed before we meet the agent and agreed that if the package is good, we will sign up on the spot. Many points were discussed such as the number of outlets, the accessibility of the various outlets, distance and location which much be of convenience to us as well as the type of classes they offered. FF is one of the most expensive fitness centre but I have to agree that the service, classes and convenience for me and wifey is really what we had wanted and expected. After a tour around the place and a final secret nod from wifey, we signed the forms and paid up.
Wifey and me are now officially members of Fitness First. :)
