(just so you know, this entry came up on the first page of a "gyms in singapore" google search! well done on the SEO! Haha!) So anyway, think I got more than what I bargain for. Very informative writeup and I'm definitely getting that book before heading down to sign up for anything... I was looking for gyms to sign up for membership and stumbled upon this entry!

It cheapens the image of the gym. Read the whole entry before you make a comment because that's just not very smart.

If there were no aalesmen how would we buy anything? Quit putting things down just cause you dont justify the service. Thats just not very smart Whats wrong with people seeling services.

Thank you for the informative update on gym membership and their sales tactics. This is the beauty of a connected world where information flows freely (almost). It levels the competition and increases transparency. A good example will be from Freaknomics where they noticed that with the advent of internet, Term Insurance premium starts to get lower as the information gets more available. This led to a near perfect competition model allowing for easier comparison and more competition by the insurance companies. Yes. I love Robert Cialdini's book on Influence. A must read for everyone regardless of occupation. Again, thanks! :) Regards Chih-Yang Hi there,

I just came across this blog today while searching for a few different physical fitness terms in yahoo. After I ended up here I stayed about a little bit to go through a few posts... pretty good stuff. I'll be sure to come back later on some time and get up to date. Hello there!

(I need it because there's one near my house and one near my office.) There is a cheaper gold membership which only allows you to go a designated gym, but I'm not sure how much that costs. Hope that helps you! Good luck! :) @Cherie: Hey Cherie, I pay 80+ for a platinum membership which allows me to go to all the gyms in the country.

I'm going for a trial session on tuesday, sure your tips will come in handy. Although, would you be willing to divulge how much you'd paid for your membership? It'd be a guide so I (hopefully) won't get fleeced. :) Thanks for your post! I’m going for a trial session on tuesday, sure your tips will come in handy.
