Whether it be a regular or Platinum Fitness First this place is the home to the unwashed. I don't think anyone knows what a sweat towel looks like, and the staff don't seem to care. The positives is equipment is fine and the gym has a pretty spacious layout. The film of gunk on the pools surface, has meant that I haven't tried the pool.
The other positive is the two free hours of parking you get as part of your membership, in the heart of Chatswood. So unless you like working out next to people who don't know how a shower works, this may not be the gym for you.
This is the platinum fitness first and normally you pay more whether you are a member or casual visit. It has a good swimming pool and has everything you need for fitness training. There are bars, restaurants opposite the street. Very continent.
Your easily "continent". I notice you draw attention to the bars and restaurants as that's what most people do in the Chatswood Fitness First. Sit on the machines all day, sweaty out their bodies and then go sit in a bar and put all the callories back on.. or after feeling good about theirselves for going to the gym, they can go eat some pork in a restaurant and get back the jiggle in their work.
Nothing platinum about this Fitness First, as people leave the Fitness First network in droves - as they are not "Continent".
