I went to look for Julie and Perlin on Thurs to have lunch with them.. Since i was only meeting Roger and Susan at 6.30pm and it was a few hrs to that, i accompanied Perlin to California Fitness Centre at Orchard since she could bring a guest in. Well, i had already been warned of their persuading skills and i have to think of ways and means to reject.. they did gave me a very good offer compared to Perlin but they did not tell me in any way that i had to pay about 2k for a personal trainer..
if you don't know, the ones wearing red are called PT - Personal Trainers
and the ones wearing black are called Consultants..
I did a free external check on my body on BMI and Body Fats etc.. and there was a conversation betw me and the PT..
PT: So i understand that you are thinking of buffing up your upper body and torso..Me: Yup..
PT: Well, Bernard, so how many times a week do you see yourself coming to our fitness centre?Me Thinking: I am not even thinking of signing up so why ask me that?
Me: Well, about once a week?
PT: Once a week!? You need at least 2 years to achieve what you desire! I'll put you 3 times a week.. (and he circled 3 times in a questionaire form for me..)Me Thinking: 2 years? I will make sure i take less than that...
In the end, the consultant gave me a 7 days free entry to the fitness centre..
