Fitness First Bondi Spring St Platinum

Have left and returned.
Negatives: Was told by the sales lady upon joining that 'Finance' First are aware of their money grabbing reputation, and were trying to change that reputation. Hmm, since their reputation has been earned over the years, wouldn't they do better to change their behaviour instead of trying to persuade us that they're not as bad as we think they are?
Lets look at the facts: Finance First (FF) will advertise so loud that you'll have to keep your MP3 player cranked up high, hurting your ears. Their ads do not appeal to members needs. Instead they show whichever advertiser's willing to pay the highest dollar. We're talking about Hollywood's latest violence and action movies, time-share, Toyota 4WD's, army reserves propaganda. So you wouldn't you expect a membership discount for being their commodity to advertise at?
FF will push their hand as deeply into your pocket as they possibly can, with no care paid for your lifestyle and needs. e.g. some gyms charge only a few dollars per week to freeze your membership while away, giving them a few days notice, up to many months a year, no proof of travel required. Ask FF about their money grabbing practice.
FF must be paid by the highest bidding big record labels to have some few 'performers' on rapid rotation. They have 90 mins worth of "song's" (I'm being very generous by calling it 'song's). I counted 4 Rihanna songs in succession, and one in every 3 songs from Rihanna. You'll get to watch videos & hear lyrics sponsored by the tobacco companies, and ditto for the New World Order santanic symbols and performers. So where's their discount for your being the zombie victim of their advertising machine?
A PT revealed that the reason their mats stink is that they're NEVER cleaned, yuck!
Their PT's are very hit and miss. Some will injure you and should not be on the gym floor.
FF has been bought and sold several times over the past few years, but policy doesn't change.
Positives: lots of weights and cables, lots of space, mostly quality equipment and a variety of weights and machines to choose from, broken equipment gets serviced reasonably quickly, gyms around the city and eastern Australia, lots of locker room space.

So bad!!!! I called them to ask about barre class because I live far from there and when I was there the class was full and I couldn't do it. They made me loose time!!!

Nice gym, could do without the overbearing amount of toxic air freshener filling the air. You know it's about as harmful as secondhand smoke, right? Unfortunate as I would hope the gym would be a place to *improve* my health.

Super excited new member here! Staff was really welcoming and helpful. Gym is super clean and has awesome equipment. Washrooms and lockers are so nice. Flat irons and hair dryers - yes please!

Excellent gym. New refurbishment is amazing. Nice and open, plenty of room. Love the power racks, something like 20 spots you can use.

Love the makeover! New weights, new cardio equipment, new super studio and , best of all, a stunning barre studio
