I am thinking about joining a gym. I have heard many rumors about the difference in fees that gyms charge in Kuala Lumpur. How much is the monthly dues that you pay for a less-than-a year commitment membership and a no strings attached cancellation (a lot of paper work) after the less than one year commitment is over? Btw, any recommendations for a gym in the KL area close to Damansara Height and Bangsar?

Basically they're all crap, sorry to say. Once they've you committed for however long, customer service goes out the door. I guess if you're not particular about whether or not they'll attend to your problem (if you ever have one!), then you've a choice of 4 gyms: Fitness First (yes the one and only) in Menara Manulife, Damansara Heights. Celebrity Fitness in Bangsar Village 2 (a mall). True Fitness in Sri Hartamas. California Fitness in Midvalley Megamall. I've been with FF since 2003. I don't have a contract with them but I did pay a 1-time entrance fee of RM300. Monthly due of RM178 for a "passport" membership (ie I get to go to ANY FF club in Malaysia). I also know they've a "home" membership of RM148 a month. Upside of FF is that wherever I am in the world (I travel a lot), I get to use the clubs. Hence why I'm loathed to switch gyms. Happy searching!

It is around RM150 or less. Majority think thart the scene at Celebrity Bangsar is not bad.
