haha fitness first are the worst, ive heard that most the people they hire as personal trainers have failed their exams numerous times so they are a bunch of bone heads apparently...i just joined fernwood and loving it, i spend $38 a fortnight which is a bit dear but i think its worth the money for the service and facilities but by the sounds of things i would find a friend and work out at home just by some equipment it would work out cheaper in the long run use internet to find out what you can do for your fitness goals to.

www.bellaonline.com

my favourite site for fitness routines good luck anyways

go to a different gym. im about to sign up to a gym thanks to a reference from a happy friend...its called body shape. they have heaps of free classes, usually a sauna, spa and solarium, showers lockers , heaps of tvs, ur regular equipment, they even have a makeup table with free deo and hairdryers where u can get ready to go out after if u are. its prety cool. but the best thing is , its only girls! so u dont have to worry about sweating it out and looking shit in front of guys. so good. for 1 year its around $640, unlimited use of everything.

Uni gyms are the way to go. I'm paying $150 for a 4 month membership, which includes access for all the classes and pools. Equipment is brand new and the staff are friendly.

everybody with a gym membership has been ripped off full stop. everything you do in the gym can be done outside of it.

but spending the money on the membership is great motivation, and doing things by yourself isn't the same as classes, I'm joining the gym today and i will go the three days a week I'm at uni plus i go walking other days and i like the classes, and u can use the gym when its raining or whatever. I think they are worth it, but its all personal choice i guess.

Dunno about you but throwing down a couple thousand dollars on equipment is a tad unrealistic for me at this point in time.

Hey... if your cool carrying around barbell and 200kg+ plates around with you to a park to lift; more power to you.

Other advantages of a gym:

1. Flat, safe lifting platforms.
2. Squat and power racks.
3. Dumbells. (Even more weight you'd need to bring to the park/wherever)
4. Cable machines.
5. Showe facilities
6. Atmosphere (sometimes... 'globo' gyms such as FF and the like are painful)
7. 'clean' equipment. Assuming you gym does this, which it should. It saves you disinfecting your stuff at home, etc.
8. Plus a large crazy assortment of gear that i dont have the space, or money to purchase myself.

Gym memberships are typically well spent; definately for the most people here who are only moderate users.

Fitness First? I have a Gold Passport Membership...I pay $11.50 a week..i.e. $23 a fortnight i.e. $46 a month i.e. $552 a year :)

I took it off my mum :) She started out on nearly $70 a month, and constantly got $5 off, seriously by referring random people..i.e. she used to see people sitting down signing up, when the membership consultant would go to the back room to like get the contracts or something, she'd approach them and say can you say I referred you or whatever....hahaha :D Oh and it went down because of an MBF offer as well...

She got a diff membership, the have to be in the gym before 4pm one..only works at one club..:)

The catholic club has me interested, completely forgot about that one.

And Musk, I see you go to UTS. UTS has an EXCELLENT gym. I train there occasionally, and i don't even attend that Uni!

Their squat rack is a little flimsy, but they have some excellent equipment. And, whenever i train there, i always pull PRs! I hold it close to my heart.

Decent pricing too for a student.
