Don't waste your time!
The only reason you should EVER go here is if you're already a Fitness First member elsewhere and just need access to a local gym when visiting Penrith.
The weights equipment is ancient. The change rooms are not the usual Fitness First style, and desperately need to be remodelled. I have even watched the staff move equipment around so it looks like they have new stuff.
This gym is also easily the most expensive in the area. Standard membership with access to all gyms is $42 per fortnight (about 50% more expensive than everyone else in the area), and the contracts are 2 years. Plus the staff are the notorious pushy types on commission.
If you are currently a member and thinking of getting a Personal Trainer, pick one of the trainers that spent the year studying full time at TAFE or private college, rather than the internal 12-week express program FF sells to become a trainer. The retention of knowledge and skills developed in the 12-week intensive program leave the trainers lacking. This will impact your sessions.
Seriously, just don't bother unless you plan on using other Fitness First gyms and need a gym with a large footprint throughout mainland Australia. read more
