Fitness First - Manila's

“Fitness First - Manila :A Powerhouse Gym for Strength and Variety – Almost Perfect! I've been thoroughly impressed with the offerings at Fitness First (Robinsons Manila Branch). This facility is a true haven for anyone serious about their fitness, providing an exceptional range of equipment and diverse training zones. The strength training area is truly top-notch. They have an abundance of selectorized weight machines that cover every imaginable muscle group – from a full suite for back, chest, biceps, triceps, and legs to many more specialized machines. What truly sets this gym apart is the plenty amount of dumbbells that go all the way up to 50kg, with convenient 2kg increments. This is a massive plus for progressive overload and ensures you'll always find the right weight. I also appreciate the dedicated flat and incline benches, dedicated squat racks, and a dedicated deadlift area, making free-weight pressing easy and accessible, along with a functional Smith machine for controlled movements. For those looking for a different challenge, the dedicated HYROX area is a fantastic addition, offering specialized equipment and space for functional fitness racing prep. Beyond the weights, the cardio section is well-equipped with various machines to keep your heart rate up and your endurance strong. And for group enthusiasts, the Zumba and dancing studio provides a vibrant space for energetic classes. The only significant downside to this otherwise stellar facility is that it's not 24/7. This means you'll need to plan your workouts within their operating hours, which might be a slight inconvenience for those with very early or late schedules. Overall, if you're looking for a gym with an outstanding array of strength equipment, heavy dumbbells, dedicated lifting areas, and specialized zones for functional training and classes, this gym comes highly recommended. Just be mindful of their operational hours!”

“I was a member here last December, and just the next day I changed my mind because my schedule wouldn’t fit through so I cancelled it, although I already gave the information to my credit cards, etc. But they charged me after 2 months and they are not refunding it to me although I’ve already brought this issue up more than three times. I haven’t even attended a class here yet, not even once since I already cancelled it. They keep trying to charge me again now. I do not recommend going here and the staffs are quite disrespectful! They are not making this issue a priority, did anyone else ever experience this with other branches because this is truly the worst experience for me! Be careful of giving out your personal credit card information to them.”

“The amenities are now showing its age but it’s still a nice place to workout. I love their coffee area. I usually stay here to relax before or after a workout. I just wish they could offer cold drinks. The trainers and their staff are all friendly. I just hope they could fix the showers, the locker room area and some non working headphone contraption on the treadmill. I think it has been more than a year since I last saw it working. It’s not a cheap gym so I expect that everything should be repaired and in order.”

“Super place for a good training. Big space, with machines for every part of your body, lots of weights mainly on the 2nd floor, areas to streech and have a personal training, and, the best for me, tons of treadmills and bikes. The staff are friendly and helpful if you need them, you have plenty of water machines, and spacious lockers with all you may need:showers, wc, private changing areas, driers... The atmosphere is great and even gets crowded from 5pm on. Loved it there. Didn't put 5 stars due to the price. 550pesos for a day pass, more expensive than my gym in BCN, and you can only join the gym if you can stay for 5months.”

“Spacious workout area. Generally well maintain equipments. Slightly old but well maintained workout area. Clean toilet and shower cubicle though many shower cubicles run out of shower gel on Sunday afternoon which isn't a peak hour .”
