I have tried out both California Fitness and Fitness First - have to say that i prefer the latter. While CF is easier on the pocket, the crowd is larger (probably because of this!) and the facilities not as good/clean. I have to say that the instructors for the Group X (group exercise) classes are great, though. I really enjoyed the classes there
With Fitness First, my pocket is lighter....but the facilities are nicer. So is the equipment. Cleaner too. Group X classes not as good.
Most important thing about joining a gym is to actually GO to the gym.....if you can keep going consistently, it doesn't matter which gym has better facilities or which has better monthly fees
