TFF The Fitness Factory Gym - Gym in Kolkata - Kolkata, India

BE AWARE Its fraud gym, they have variable prices and receptionist make best possible effort to cheat the customers. In such a posh locality, such horrible cheater receptionists are not expected. BE AWARE

The machines in the gym are good which seems very enticing but the gym itself is really crowded and there is barely space to stand. there is an open space for free hand exercises but it is also crowded most of the time. due to lack of space people always interrupt your workouts. people in the gym also lack basic etiquettes, i was doing incline dumbbell press (on the ONLY bench available there) and someone just hit my hand and i almost dislocated my shoulder.

This is a great place to workout. Trainers are professional and knowledgeable. I have been working out with Samrat Ghosh for past few months, who has been a great support to push my limit and I can notice huge improvement now. Overall quite a nice place to workout.

TFF gym new alipore is only for PT members. The general members are not being entertained by the trainers and the owner instructed them to help only PT members. The gym also kept these expired fire extinguishers just to show others that they're providing every facility, see the timing of expiry date carefully and you'll see these are expired. Moreover receptionist Aparna knows it but she does nothing apart from sitting and gossiping about the gym members to the owners and others. Please don't join here.

This gym located in New Alipore. Atmosphere in the gym is cordial. But the gym space is cramped to say the least. There's only a small bench for members to sit in the male changing room. 40% of the locker keys of the male changing room does not work. The gym has more members than workout space available and on busy evenings between 6pm to 9pm there's hardly any space left to lay down a mat or access the weight racks. The male changing room shower area doesn't have a defined soap rack or a proper towel holder. So it's next to impossible for members to avail the steam or shower facility (though they are available on paper). There are certain members who walk into the gym area with outdoor shoes, and the gym authority doesn't restrict them. There's no massage facility available in the gym. There are a few rowdy members in the gym or rather gym bullies. But that's an usual occurrence in any gym of this locality due to the catchment area of the population it caters to. There are always two trainers available on this gym floor. Both are very friendly and helpful. This is an absolute plus point. You usually don't experience such cordial trainers who assist the regular non-PT members with proper care and guidance. This is the main reason behind the success of this gym. This gym is also loaded with appropriate instruments. It has a good cardio area and decent weight training options. That is also a major plus point. Cell phone reception is absolutely nil inside the gym floor. This is a plus point for me. But may be a negative for cell phone addicts who love to get distracted during workout hours. This gym has a history of major fire accident in the past. Now the fire safety measures are highly upgraded, but I think a mock fire drill or awareness drive to members is something that should be made mandatory in a place with such history.

If you know exercises, please don't join TFF as TFF is ONLY FOR PT. The trainers are being instructed not to attend any general members. I know exercises and I joined TFF last November because of my friend Rajib, who was a trainer here. TFF falsely accused me of snatching other clients, TFF blamed me for showing exercise to other members - Atashi & Papri, TFF also said that Bindita will not get any discount, if she wants to be here she needs to pay full amount, etc. Gariahat branch's member - Madhumita and her Trainer Bivash both conspired against me and put many wrong allegations against me without any proof or any solid evidence because TFF doesn't have any CCTV cameras inside the gym. TFF did nothing, TFF understands only business nothing else. Here, if you know exercises, you will be blamed by the management only. Even management decided that they'll make PT for 2500 only but they need PT only, no general members are welcomed here. Receptionist Aparna does nothing except gossiping and eating all the food given by gym members for FREE. She is the one who passed all the information about management and when I heard these allegations, I made my mind not to continue here. Aparna is someone who knows nothing, no professionalism, no etiquettes nothing, don't know what is she doing there, she should be the one who will look after all the issues inside the gym and whole day she watches web series, or nonstop phone calls or gossiping with the other receptionist. She only eats MOOFT KA KHANA and if you stop providing food or any kind of benefits, she will start complaining about you to the management. I was mentally tortured and pressurised by TFF to take PT, i didn't and that's why they blame me for all those cheap doings without any proof. TFF controls it's members whom to talk and whom not to. They asked others not to talk with me directly and made me feel cornered. I joined TFF with great interest but I regret the fact that I have wasted my money in such cheap and low class gym. DON'T JOIN TFF.

I consulted the way dietitian Bhagyasree here and the way she customised the plan accordingly really helped me even my throid levels are normal & weight loss journey is going with her.. thanks to her support.. Very good gym to workout in new alipore area. Good equipments and my trainer Rajib is very good. All trainers are professional and Morning Receptionist Aparna is very helpful.

Anyone to looking to join this gym, to join at their own risk ! Couple of pointers to be noted regarding my horrendous experience here ! 1) None of the trainers know their job. Each one has a different version of how an exercise should be done ,making it highly confusing. 2) NOBODY in the gym , neither the management nor the trainers know basic manners regarding how to speak to clients . They are extremely rude and carry an unnecessary attitude for reasons best known to them. UNACCEPTABLE. 3) All the trainers force you and almost impose themselves on you to take personal training . This by no means is acceptable. If a clients needs / wants personal training, they can speak for themselves. There' is absolutely no need to come up everyday to a client and ask 'mam please take personal training' . After being a member in all the best gyms of Calcutta, this place feels like a pain. 4) special mention to the receptionist who sits in the evening presently. She is highly rude & has no basic decency to speak . When I asked her to switch on the AC, ( which had no reason to be off firstly during peak hours of the evening ) she asks me to tell the trainer. IT IS NOT MY JOB TO TELL TEN PEOPLE IN THE GYM TO DO THEIR JOB CORRECTLY. She jolly well get up and get the job done rather than telling me to tell someone else. What is she there for then ? 5) The owner seems to be busier than the prime minister of the country who goes conveniently missing. None of the issue faced by the clients are addressed. This is not just faced by me , but many others as well. I also requested for him to call me but since he has no time to call a client and hear them out ,maybe he can take out 5 mins to raad a Google review. 6) i couldn't workout during November and December in the year 2022 and asked for an extension on medical grounds. I even said I'll give my medical reports but the receptionist DID NOT get back to me and simply said we don't give extensions. Why ? Are you the only gym in the city ? Please note there are better and more competent gyms within newalipore itself, so no reason for anyone to come back to this gym. This gym knows nothing of how to satisfy their clients. 7) icing on the cake , when i asked simran ( the previous receptionist) to give me an extension, she asked me to pay her 5000/- extra under the table and she promised to back date my membership on the system without the owners knowledge. I mean can anyone tell me what is going on here ? All in all being a part of this gym was a terrible experience and i all i can say is he prepared to lose business with this kind of an attitude.
