Don’t join world gym as a foreigner

They take advantage of your lack of Chinese and try to upsell you.

I went to the gym in dazhi Bei’an express and was told I could use the gym for 14 days for free by Joana, another coach there.

I went back in another day and told them someone told me this. Awei the coach, showed me around and after I work out for two hours and liked it, he told me since I’ve been to a gym before outside of Taiwan, I should just sign up for membership. The 14 day free pass is only for people that have never worked out in a gym before.

Which isn’t what it says on their website for the 14 day free pass. It’s for you to try out their venue and see if you like it.

I had the same experience at another world gym in Daan and they basically try to get me to sign up right away without even letting me try the gym.

I decided to go with another world gym that would let me try the 14 day pass for free because I rather give my money to a gym that let me try it out without pressure than trick me into joining.

Do better or get a new job so you won’t have to rely on commission to make a living.

EDIT: I’m currently here learning Chinese so a lot of the “it’s your own fault you can’t learn the language of a country you haven’t lived in the past 20+ years!!” Is so out of pocket loooooool.
