Fitness First BJC has lost its quality and is chasing numbers. The members who come to the gym are terrible; they throw weights constantly. It won't let me attach videos but there are so many instances where members throw the weights every time I am at the gym that I started documenting it. You can see the weights have been chipped now. Pictures attached, they don't re-rack the weights, making it a tripping hazard, and sometimes you can't find the pair at all. People bring phones into the sauna, dry their chlorine-filled clothes in there. What's really upsetting is the staff and trainers see all this every day and don't do anything. I complained about a racist member, but no action was taken, a trainer was present as well when this member was being disgusting. This member still makes racist and sexist comments loudly in the locker room but again, no action was taken. BJC Fitness First is just behind the money and doesn't care about the equipment or making it a safe place for people to come and work out. I used to be a member from 2011-2013, so I know they can be better and hold their members to higher standards.
Training with Gokul for just one month has been truly transformational. I went from 106 kg to 90 kg while building muscle and losing fat — results I honestly didn’t think were possible in such a short time. Gokul is hands down the best trainer at Fitness First. He provided proper, easy-to-follow meal plans, explained workouts in a way that made me confident and self-sufficient, and constantly motivated me to push my limits. What really stood out was how closely he monitored my progress and adjusted everything to suit my goals. His guidance, knowledge, and dedication made all the difference. Highly recommend him to anyone serious about making a real change
Nandhu is honestly one of the best personal trainers I’ve ever trained with. From day one he changed the way I look at training. He is fully focused, dedicated and really cares about my progress and my wife’s progress too. I’m truly grateful for him. 🙏🔥 What I love about training with him: • Always fully focused — no phone, no distractions 📵💪 • Professional and serious about every session 🏋️♂️🔥 • Understands the muscles perfectly and corrects every movement 🎯 • Amazing follow-up on WhatsApp, always checking on me 📲🤝 • Respects the time, energy and goals — pure dedication ⚡️ He doesn’t waste a second. No jokes, no time-pass… only real training. If you want a trainer who truly cares about your results, Nandhu is the guy. 🙌💯
I’ve been coming to Fitness First in BurJuman Centre for a long time, and it’s consistently been a great experience. The gym has all the equipment I need, and everything is always well-maintained. The staff are extremely friendly, and the trainers are always ready to help if you’re struggling with anything. The pool is excellent and a nice addition to my routine. I haven’t tried the classes yet, but I’ve heard great things about their high-intensity sessions. Overall, a fantastic place to work out! Shoutout to Ruby!
“Great gym with plenty of space, good variety of equipment, and motivating group classes. Staff are friendly, and the pool is a nice bonus—best visited outside peak hours for a relaxed workout.”
