Haggling a gym membership?

Elvisia

I would like to join a Fitness First in London, and I was wondering whether it is still possible to haggle a gym membership? In my previous memberships at other gyms I have always been stunned and rather peeved to find out everyone else is paying less than me as they negotiated. I want to join just before Christmas, but I know January will be their busiest time as everyone joins to start their new keep fit regime before numbers drop off in Feb when they get bored. So can I still haggle even if the prices are fixed on their website? And should I wait a bit, and join in February? Or try to haggle at the end of December to get in their last sales figures for the month? Any advice very gratefully recieved!

and whatever you do, fergawdsake, DONT give them your card / bank details!
