Fitness First Review : Manulife

Located within the ground floor of Menara Manulife (Used to be known as John Hancock). Its located in Damansara Heights area beside Menara HP.


  • Easy access from the main road. There is parking at the basement and the surrounding area. But beware, getting a parking might be difficult.
  • First impression, there is sure alot of equipment here. All cardio and machine lumped into one area.
  • The interesting part of Manulife is you get machines which other FF centers do not equip. This must be a gym for hardcore, so I heard. Btw, this is the only FF center that I have seen which you can do DECLINE bench press. Enough said.
  • Two floor, the juice bar and changing room are on the floor above. Looks like they discourage ppl to drink.
  • I am seeing double again. There is a small free weight area, but each equipment seems to be doubled. 2 smith machine, 2 sets of complete barbells (amazing), 1 1\2 set of complete dumbbells, 2 leg extension, leg curl machine and etc. However the workbench looks like from the era of Muscle Beach. Really hardcore man.
  • There have glutes and calf machine. Finally!
  • The changing room is clean, but as you enter, the dark colored wooden lockers and flooring makes you feel that you are in some kindda dodgy spa center. They should really refurbish.
  • I met a very nice PT guy. However, can't say the same about their sales ppl.
