I have went to 3 fitness centres. The scariest of all the sales persons are Celebrity Fitness in Lot 10. The first sales person who assists, is very friendly and not so agressive. A pleasant young man, named WN. He showed me around and promoted the club's facilities and membership. I was quite sold, and preparing to sign up, until when he mentioned about a HSBC credit card promotion. Well, since I have HSBC credit card, naturally I want to know what HSBC has to offer. However, he is not certain of the promotion, thus he walked back to the reception counter and brought along a man with him. And that's when the nightmare began.
WN brought with him Mr. Halim, the Operation Manager of Celebrity Fitness. He is extremely aggressive and totally hard-seller. I was totally freaked out, that I told him many times that I would like to consider the deal. However, he insists of asking me to consider it at the spot. He's not willing to let me go. I felt like, he literally wanted to chain me to the chair and want me to sign up right there and then, without any consideration and wasting both of his time and mine. I started to really boil up. When I finally insisted that I want to think it over and will come back in 20 minutes time, he finally relented.
When I stepped out of the club, I actually heaved a long sigh of relief. I felt like I have been released out of prison. There's no way, I'm going back there, since it took me 'ages' to get out of there. My God, that is one scary dude.
