Not in the fitness of thing !!!!



A glass is partially filled with water, what would you call it. Half empty or half full ? Every body want to look good,attractive, fit and different from others. Some people join gym , some join yoga, some spa, some aerobic, some dance. These days A unique concept is being sale stating that without pain ,gain your preferred body shape. Every day advertisements come in news papers. 

My friend wanted to loss her weight ,although she was regular in gym  but she wanted to loss weight FAST. she do not want to take pain in gym or running for a long time. She was looking for easy method. One day , she told me I have read a advertisement in the news paper , I am going there please come with me. I went. Highway Fitness, name was the fitness center in Kandivali w. What happened , all ladies executive were in well shape and showing that they got shape due to "gain without pain system". 
First question ,(funny and foolish question)  Madam why do want to loss your weight , for marriage, for join the party, to keep your friend happy,do you want to look attractive, any special occasion or any thing else ? Why do you want to keep fit your self , is this logical question ? Anyways, she started stating that  how much weight do you want to loss and in how many days you want to loss. We have different - different packages , you can loss your weight 5 to 15 kg in a month, its depends how much you can afford. We have different - different specialist in this field ( who are failure in medical fields like dentist, physiotherapist, failure Doctor are their specialist) .
They will guide you and we can give a demo right now.She was insisting to intake water during the conversation. within half an hour you can loss half kg weight, and you will have not to pay any charges.My friend was agreed and she went for a demo.


when she came back after half an hour , I asked about the demo, She replied , before treatment she drunk water and go to the bed and there  some wire was fix for heating my body, I was sweating. Almost half an hour they told me go to loo and get ready. After loo when I weight then I had lost more than 400 grams. (Just think After loo and sweating anyone can lose 400 to 500 grams without any treatment.)My friend was little convince, when their polished executive were realized that they succeeded to fool the client.
They started, Madam a package scheme is going on discounted price, if you pay right now we can offer you fantastic package. My friend said, not right now , I will think and I will come back to you. There executive , specialist in convincing to clients , started saying madam today is the last day for the offer, you can save up to 5000/- Rs.If you take admission  today I can talk to my senior and for more best package. They were trying any how deal should be closed.My friend was being harassed , I said to specialist we will think and we will come back. She took my friend mobile number.

When I was setting in the very small reception room, I realized that all executive were interested to take admission and all clients who were there  or coming and going , they were from upper middle class and some are from higher class, and All specialist were failure Doctors and they were working on part time basis.
I contemplated , how they work, I came to know that they open a fitness center , keep some funny time instrument, decorated their office, hire some medical representative or good looking and in good shape female doctor and call them specialist, and they hire charming girl for advertisement , some time T.V actor some time famous personalities and start publicity in the News paper. They attracts potential client through paper add joining with famous personalty. There are some commitment between fitness owner and their specialist that specialist will get more commission on closing the deal, so their specialist become specialist in convincing  to clients and day day by they improve their abilities to make fool.

we came back, there specialist started calling to my friend, Madam ..offer is still open for you. We can wait for you for more one week, although they were not to wait for a day. One day my friend told me I am going to join , I told don't go they are not real, they are playing with our mentality, keep gyming regularly and control our diet, you will get better result. She did not listen me and took admission and paid 17000/- for 60 days (There were only 16 sitting in 60 days).
when I start asking her how is going your weight loss session, for first 6 days she told me nice, I am being fit, but gradually she started saying that I am fooled, I am feeling my self cheated , I do not want to carry my session, I want my money back ,further she said , I demand my balanced money then specialist replied Madam after getting admission money will be not refunded, already we have given big package in small price. You can take your balance session. My friend never went there and their specialist never called , Madam why you are not coming ? 

When I talked several fitness center who are running weight loss programs , Their modus-operendi are  same. Mostly client are not satisfied with their services , mostly client never renewed their package. In stead of that fitness center is running well. 
Some fitness center provides good services,but before  taking any package you should contemplate that you are not being made fool. Remember ,they are least interested in weight loss program, although they use their infrastructure to make money by fooling us.Don't fall in fishing .They are selling only a dream.
