Fitness First (or rather "worst")

If you see the Fitness First logo on a gym, better keep distance. This place is really something to get annoyed. I made the experience myself at the Fitness First Platin at the RCBC Plaza in Manila (Makati City):

• Their personal trainers seem to be working on their own bill. That means they are very agressive in offering their services. And if you indicate to one of them that you are not interested, the next one will still give it a try as well and bother you. They even call you up on your private mobile phone if they feel like it.
• If you just want to know the price a membership costs, you need to register first (including your phone number, which is definitely a dangerous thing over here, if you don't want to get spammed with advertisement by text message). Without it, they wouldn't tell you any price. Not even on their web-site. They really seem to fear price transparency. And that can only mean something bad. Yesterday we tried to find out the membership price for a friend of mine, but they preferred to let us leave again without telling us the price, than to let us know without registering first.

This blog I found seems to confirm my bad impression (that guy even worked there himself):

This week-end I am planning to go scuba diving in Anilao (Batangas) again. I am already excited about it.
