I joined Fitness First KLCC a couple of years ago only to be the bearer of unfortunate circumstances that prevented me from going further. I changed my membership status to an absent member and paid RM35 monthly. After paying my absent membership fees for more than a year, I decided to cancel my membership knowing that I will never have the opportunity to go back, since I am a full time mom now, without a babysitter. I was paying RM35 every month for nothing.
So imagine the impact of the blow when I called them up to tell them of my predicament and they told me I had to pay RM300 to cancel my membership and oh, by the way….you have been paying full membership fees ever since errr…..after you paid one year of absent membership fees.
WHAT THE FUCK!??!!!! You mean, I have been paying RM160 every month all this while without knowing? Why didn’t you inform me that you were going to deduct a different amount off my credit card? (The Hubs never told me of the bills on the credit card either, he doesn’t question) Don’t you think I have a right to know?
I was SO PISSED OFF. It’s the principal, you know. I threatened to go to the newspapers to warn fellow citizens to be careful and not get conned because they never tell you what they don’t want you to know. Another point to note is, once you decide to join Fitness First, they make you list 10 phone numbers (mobile numbers) of your friends so they can spam them into coming in for a trial. It’s like……make the sale first, then throw in the surprises. I find that totally unethical.
When I worked at Regus before, I used to warn people of all the items in the contract that they needed to be aware of. It was a very tight contract that worked towards the favour of Regus, naturally. But still, we made tons of money. By being upfront and honest.
So people out there! If you want to join Fitness First, be warned.

She sets out to prove to all, that you can have anything and everything that you want; if you have that fire of desire burning within and the drive to work hard. Even better with much love.
Mamapumpkin has not only grown corporate businesses successfully in the past but has grown not one but TWO network marketing businesses in the notorious MLM (Multi-Level Marketing) industry, achieving success in under 2 years. She believes in the MLM business model but realises the DRASTIC PITFALLS and great stigma attached to it, understanding EXACTLY WHY the majority would shy away (or RUN for their lives) from ANY MLM business. But open your eyes and take time to understand it intellectually, remove your hang-ups, confirm your research, and you may just want to seize an opportunity. She did. And no, she never went about chasing people for sales. She had a sophisticated system work for her through technology and a smartphone.
She now impacts lives authentically with proven strategies amassed through the last decade of her own transformation offering online coaching programmes and always supports the underprivileged. She believes that we can all have a life of our own desires to enable real contribution into the world. But first, one needs to understand what this all means.

Most lose out on an opportunity because they are afraid they would be sold to, conned or whatever fear resides in their brain without even trying. And that's on them.
Mamapumpkin is a living testimony that women really can have a lot. Being financially and time free has enabled her to travel the world anytime, anywhere, doing anything, and she spends most of her days with her children, having fun, and supporting others wherever she can. Also having fun.
