This is really not my habit to talk about my private life on this blog but I think that sharing this experience can be helpful.
My experience at the gym: Preamble
Saturday, the shop Eleven, I realized that I had to do something for my bidou (read failed). Added to this the current thinking of friends who had not seen for some time "you've not taken?", "Oulala t'as forces Romain" (thank you friends ..)! In short, a shock as they say.
So I chose a radical solution: Room Sport (with a capital S) + eat better (when possible). Especially a gym Fitness First has opened at 2 steps from my house (Bd St Germain), with prices much more affordable than the room ultra-luxury Jean de Beauvais.
I, like many of you tank towards the gyms. I did not enter into a subscription of 12 months at an exorbitant price for, ultimately, I feel obliged to go running on a carpet ... You should know that gyms - Fitness First in this case - are really very strong in marketing (you'll understand) ...
So I take a quiet afternoon to go find out. Simply enter the sports club and ask for some information that the machine (very well established) will swallow you alive. A charming welcome and recommended you discuss with you to understand your needs, your goals and your budget. It tells you that everything is possible (for a few seconds, I thought it was carpet seller), then offers a short tour of the owner.
The club is brand new so it's "very beautiful". Sonna, steam room, solarium and new machines.
- Have questions?
- How much does it cost?
- No, but another question?
I make him understand that I am interested but my decision will now depend on the price. It comes down, it brings me a flyer with the famous pricing. Rates that are unavailable elsewhere in the room you are therefore obliged to pass through the box "I am devoured by the marketing machine."
You can choose between 2 options:
Prestige Formula
- Minimum commitment of 3 months
- 300 € entry fee of
- 35 € fee
- Monthly fee € 89
- First 3 sessions "Personnal Training" 39 €
Health Formula
- Minimum commitment of 12 months
- 300 € entry fee of
- 35 € fee
- Monthly fee € 77
- First 3 sessions "Personnal Training" 39 €
I explained that I do not want to get involved and I'm able to reach my goal in 3 months. And then a coach came out of nowhere explains that it is a pity to stop and I'll take the flop if I stop. I approve of the head and confirms strongly that I do not want to hire me for 12 months.
- One hand on a formula Prestige € 89 per month?
- Yep!
- You look nice, I do not want to charge you all that (I quote word for word)
I wonder for a second if he cares about me (where they are hidden cameras?). It takes the fee schedule and strike € 300 € 59 then writes next. At this moment I understand that the machine is really well established: to advertise your client that you've saved € 240 like that of a sudden without doing anything ... I guarantee it will be as docile as a lamb. He told me that a check of 178 € (not cashed) will be needed for the bond.
I am not at my surprises me back then as a form of sponsorship.
- You can earn gifts by referring friends. They will receive a free session.
- Ok, it's for your database that?
- (Smiling) Exactly!
In summary:
- An initial bill of 186 €
- a check deposit of 178 €
- It's expensive but I did not feel myself to have done (the main?)
- immeasurable motivation to lose that damn flop (not that's the principal)
Thank you to those who had the courage to read this article (unusually) long. In the next episode: my first time at the gym (people, machines, staff, premises, all of it all ...)
one thing is for sure, I do not spend at Bibendum Hulk

Wait to see some of my past in Paris and the Agency
window you'll find the motivation

Roro you fear, I wanted to make a note of the same gender. Sport and that makes me 2 but to lose flop quickly I found a miracle solution: stop the coke (light) and by extension, soft drinks ... the result is quite satisfactory
Juliet on May 10
Boh, the coca stop light, it's just deflate, it does not remove the fat: / (I know I tried hehe)
Anyway, good luck! I think that to invest that money motivates still quite profitable for the subscription.
Roman on May 10
@ William: I do not drink soda-_ -
William, on May 10
juliette @: deflate without removing the fat that is little bit counts, right?
@ Roman: How you doing ?????

Sylv1 on May 10
Romain Yo! Frankly, I think I'm older than you and your guts, it's been a while it began to move ... I did like you, listing club med gym ... with CE, cheaper even though it is expensive ... Ca is 4 weeks ... 3 times a week between noon and two easier when taff in the pub because everything happens after
... Well, I have not lost my guts but frankly, I begin to deflate ... well my build is more squarely the same ... muscular arms, pecs, shoulders ... I'm hard-limit now ... 
... AND ESPECIALLY when you go out there, you feel really good 
Olivier on May 10
$ 50 Cdn for 4 months, with regular monitoring and coach, sauna and swimming pool.

In fact, it is just to drink lots of beer without taking a flop.
Roman on May 10
@ Sylv1: it is true that the feeling after 1h of sport and a good shower is really nice
Fred on May 11
Rhaa, holy Roman. But it's a good idea, even if we mostly pay attention to your diet, sport is kewl.
Good luck to you anyway. Well, you'll suffer, eh, but something tells me you'll like it ^ ^

Hello Roman
I had almost the same experience except that I did not go to the room of my own.
" 
I received a courier to pick up a gift: a superb towel for M **** G did not cite. I went to see. So I received a "commercial" that showed me around too. Then she practiced exactly the same methods on me than on you. I am very amused to give water to his mill, explaining that I eat meat, I love butter etc.
She jumped at the chance to make a nice layout of my arteries and while trying to scare me.
Although on that point she was not wrong in principle, the method I found really terrible.
After an hour, it dropped, annoyed and threw a poor bag may face as a gift. I went in with a smile: "At a future, if I'm not dead yet
I have lost 3 hours of my life, but it was fun
Roman on May 11
It is not jb is Romain
We have no right to be 2 for a blog?
Quite annoying
Emmanuel Brunet - www.emmanuelbrunet.com on May 11
Arf, these methods are more than 15 years.
Already Gymnasium in his time already was!
And even the kitchen was a guy out of a magic hat that was a crazy discount ...
Nothing is new and people are still misled by these methods ...

The sport is only 30% ... The most important thing is food, whether for themselves as it is muscle or lose weight ...
To lose belly, not secrecy, should do cardio is to say, run for a period long enough for the muscles begin to tap into the fat. And so the muscles do their job, they must be given protein quantity.
Except for force ourselves to go there (because we paid a high price), it is unnecessary to go into a room. Both buy a bike (or ride a bike outside with this weather) or an elliptical at home, more complete ... 3 times a week for 45min-1h a suitable speed and one or two times the weight but not heavy, the objective of being able to do 3 sets of 15-20 repetitions of each exercise (you must take a weight that you can not pass the 20th repetition easily).
If, contrary to what a lot of sites say, the abs do not remove the fat. Instead, do abs when you have a flop, it can be a handicap and increase motivation because it will inflate the abs without turning the chocolate mousse.
And finally, be patient. I do not know where you go, but 3 months is really that you do not have much. Among men, the flop is the last thing to go. In women, it's the thighs / buttocks. So is that the human body.
Roman on May 12
@ Nasky: where you know all this?
I agree with you on the fact that it was not necessary to register in a room is full of luxury (and psychological)
Nasky on May 12
Because I went through this phase too, but as I left, I find myself in the same situation as you are going to say now. If I had money, I'll go indoors so I think after the course it must be good! It would be best to have a room in the bank as with Google, of course.
Anyway, what I said, must take seriously
Must hurt to his body, particularly sulfur and to a serious scientific study has shown that when someone thinks that thin, thin it faster than that does not stop to think that it does not work (the brain facilitates the work of muscles to eliminate fat when he thought he did a good job 
). While positive attitude.

As a former "sales consultant" (yes that's what they call them) of at Fitness First, let me say that the "walk-in like you were blessed bread: p
Even if receive 1% of your membership fee, in fact it's blank. They vary according to the head of the customer and his reluctance.
You have missed the part of "this is your first visit? So you are entitled to 50% discount on membership fees "and the" it now, because if you leave, returning it will not be your first visit "and" I'll wait to see with my manager " . The tour manager is just to leave you alone 5 minutes while being visible to chat with someone in the rain and weather, then return to tell you "I have good news and bad news . The bad news, I can not offer less than 19 € for membership fee. The good news is that it's valid right now "and go there as I will fulfill the contract at your place and I'll hold out for the signs that you: p
It was not very well respected learn to be recited to the letter every time, but it was "close" the sale so far
Have you been entitled to the "why you came today? What do you expect from a club fitness? When was the last time you believed you do not need a club fitness? What were you doing at the time that you do today? "Bla bla lol
For sponsorship, it is not even for the base. It is he who gets it and just manage. Sponsorship serves him for his exploration.
For there, you have a number of calls daily to meet (under the supervision of senior managers) and exit with a number of appointments at the club. Your rate of transformer must be at least 40% if you do not touch comms.
Anyway, how was your first visit and stay in your "program" with a sports consultant?
