How to Cancel Fitness First

• Fitness First

Fitness First was more than a gym, it was a community. Established in 2008 and led by Peter Harvey, the gym franchise began in Silver Spring and soon opened locations across Maryland, including in Bethesda and Frederick. Equipped with high-quality machines and training equipment, Fitness First offered everything from treadmills and free weights to functional tools like ropes. Members could work out independently or choose from group classes and training programs. Small group classes focused on shared goals, offering support and guidance in a close-knit setting. Personal Training allowed for a tailored fitness plan, built around individual needs and supervised by a certified trainer. Yoga and Zumba classes gave members additional options, catering to different interests and fitness levels. In 2013, Gold’s Gym acquired Fitness First. This led to changes in branding and location availability. Former members may now face challenges canceling their accounts.
