I hope this isn’t a duplicate thread. I was looking to compare World Gym Prices in Tainan but couldn’t find it. I visited the one right next to Ambassador Cinema (on Zhonghua Road).
I have read about all their sales tricks here so first thing I did was refuse the tour. I told them I have been to enough gyms. I just wanted to know the price.
Then the salesperson brought a brochure (with a company profile) and wanted to give a presentation which I also refused. Then came the price proposal :
Question 1 : 1 year, 2 year or 3 year contract ?
Ans : 1 year only
Offer #1 :
(one time) Signup Fee : $9888NT
(one time) Maintenance/Service Fee : $4888NT
(monthly fee) Monthly Fee : $2588NT
My response : Laughter
1 min later
Offer #2 :
(one time) Signup Fee : $1000NT
(one time) Maintenance/Service Fee : $2888NT
(monthly fee) Monthly Fee : $1388NT
Response : I want under 1000$ a month.
Offer #3 :
(one time) Signup Fee : $0NT
(one time) Maintenance/Service Fee : $2888NT
(monthly fee) Monthly Fee : $1188NT
Response : what if I my wife joins too ? Under 1000NT$ ?
Offer #4 :
2nd person price :
(one time) Signup Fee : $0NT
(one time) Maintenance/Service Fee : $1888NT
(monthly fee) Monthly Fee : $1088NT
Finally they said the offer is only valid that day which I didn’t buy. Then they gave me a discount coupon and said I will never get this price if I don’t get this in the next 5 days.
So main question is ? Is this already a decent price ? I still intend to haggle further. The only reason I am considering them is because I practically live across the street. I literally need 60 seconds to walk from the door of my house in to the gym. Any Advice on price ?
///// Further info :
I have read a lot about World Gym experience here in Taiwan. So when they tried to tell me what I great deal I’d be missing I told them I know all about their shitty service and that they should go and do a “world gym” search on Forumosa.com.
Other questions I asked :
- Payment method ? : Only Credit Card
- Auto Renewed ? : Always
- Transferable ? : Not Really, we will need proof/reason that you are leaving the area etc…
- Termination ? : If cancelled during first year , you pay 6000NT$ fine, but after 1 year you can cancel at any time.
- Termination Process ? : Oh, it only takes 5 mins, no funny shit.
- Can I use Other Wold Gyms in Taiwan or Worldwide? : No… this offer was only for this one gym.
