Fitness First Platinum Trinoma Philippines Opening Postponed
I heard of the rumblings about the opening of a Fitness First branch in Trinoma from an instructor, which puzzled me because it was so near Fitness First ABS-CBN and North EDSA.
When I went to Trinoma, all became clear as I saw that it was a Fitness First Platinum branch, meaning that it will be patterned after its RCBC Plaza counterpart and will employ a different type of marketing.
When I inquired at Fitness First Platinum RCBC last month, the target opening date was October 2007, however, it has now been moved to November.
This is disappointing news since I’m looking forward to the opening of this particular branch, because Fitness First Platinum Trinoma will be the only (so far) branch that’s located in a building that’s conveniently connected to the MRT.
Although a number of Fitness First branches are accessible from the MRT by walking, namely Fitness First SM North EDSA, Fitness First ABS-CBN, Fitness First Ortigas and Fitness First RSC-Makati, that walk can become unbearable when we’re talking about the slashing rain, flying debris, smoldering sun and suffocating pollution.
Moreover, the time frame is a major factor because of the sardine like conditions during the rush hours in the morning and evening. Since Trinoma is located at the end (hopefully for the meantime) of the MRT line, it will not be as affected by the aggressive fervor of the traveling throng.
Optimistically, I shall hope that all construction will ensue with ease so that Fitness First Platinum Trinoma Philippines will open in November as scheduled, and that it will have a swimming pool just like its counterpart Fitness First Platinum RCBC Plaza. (Sadly, Mr. Ernest Santander of Fitness First Platinum RCBC has just informed me via mobile phone that there will be NO swimming pool in Trinoma.)

Hi… Does anyone here knows where could I apply for any job position at Fitness First…
To those who have the knowledge, your response will be very much appreciated…
Ciao.
Hi Jowel,
The Fitness First Philippines website has a Careers page for people who want to apply. Good luck!
It’s October!!! November na next month. Sana by first week or second week open na ang FF Trinoma
been curious about the trinoma branch and also heard rumblings of another FF Platinum at GB5 (phase 2) around next year. Having been a member of RCBC since they opened, im just a bit disappointed with the renovation (though nothing offensive or bad about it) making the oldest and most expensive FF look like a regular gym (Again nothing wrong but i’ve made a joke on the wall slogans that pertain to better living… paranaque starts here)
Hi Chris and everybody else,
FYI, Fitness First Trinoma is now open for viewing, albeit with the machines still strewn about. NON OPERATIONAL as of now, but at least you can see it.
It will be operational on 01 November 2007. Please call Fitness First Trinoma at 916.0000 to confirm what time because the two receptionists I’ve asked have conflicting info.
hi! i just want to ask your opinion re: marketing of fitness first platinum vs. the regular fitness first…? How different are they in terms of marketing?
Hi Jezz,
Fitness First Platinum basically limits the number of its members, so there’s an “exclusive” factor thrown in.
Also, there are amenities that are only available to the Fitness First Platinum member such as the swimming pool in RCBC, or the small details such as the toiletries in the locker room, or the shirt and shorts, bath and workout towel that are provided for every member who works out.
Another factor would be location. As I mentioned above, “Fitness First Platinum Trinoma will be the only (so far) branch that’s located in a building that’s conveniently connected to the MRT.”
If these are not important to you, then the regular Fitness First Lifestyle membership would suffice. Whether Platinum or Lifestyle, both have the same excellent Les Mills programs
oh, thanks for the great info!
Hi guys! just wondering if you want discounts for your fitness first fees?
Up to 25% off ang discount pag gumamit kayo ng Citibank card.:)
You can email me po if you’re interested..
here’s my email: thireigns_67@yahoo.com
For Jowel Umlas, if you got to work at Fitness first, congrats!:)
Also, try to get other gym users to apply for a Citibank credit card and you can have commissions per successful card application.:)
God bless sa lahat!
uhmm….. how much is the membership for Fitness First Platinum? It’s different from the common membership whether it be home or passport, right? Thanks!
Hi Rollchan. Platinum membership is higher than the regular Fitness First membership. The reasons are listed here:

Try to drop by RCBC Makati or Trinoma so you can see the gym. The address and contact details are:

If you’re going to join, try to time it with a Les Mills launch because there are more discounts available at that time.
Hi There! just want to know if you guys have a temporary membership, like for a month? I live in Canada and i’ll be on a month vacation there in the Philippines, so i’m really interested of joining your club for a month,would it be possible?if not, I’ll just pay drop-in. Thanks.
