The 21 Best Gym Memberships in Singapore to Get Fit, Stat!

Ready to get your sweat on, Lion City-style? Today’s post is all about getting the best gym membership in Singapore as your passport to a healthier lifestyle. 

So say goodbye to excuses and hello to an energising workout routine at some choice fitness gyms in Singapore.

How I Picked

I used the following criteria for today’s listicle (please note that I selected particular gym branches which best met these factors):

Staff and trainers – Friendly, knowledgeable, and supportive staff can greatly enhance the gym experience. 

Facilities and equipment – I carefully assessed the quality and variety of facilities and equipment available at the gym and inspected if they were well-maintained. 

Perks – I evaluated the membership options and pricing structure of the gym including any additional benefits for members.

Cancellation policy – The gym’s cancellation policy should specify the notice period for nullifying membership. Flexibility for accommodating unexpected life events/changes in circumstances also counts.

We think Contours Express would be a great gym membership option especially for women!

They provide a supportive, women-only environment, making it an ideal choice for those who prefer a gym atmosphere where they can exercise without fear or self-consciousness.

What’s more is that the gym provides equipment tailored for the female body, addressing the specific needs and preferences of women.

Their branches are strategically located, ensuring easy access for members, reducing the need to go through a mall or travel long distances to reach the gym.

We like that they offer personalized guidance from trainers to ensure members use the equipment effectively. We think that regular progress tracking is an excellent feature to help women stay on course with their fitness goals.

Speaking of their trainers, they create a welcoming and supportive environment for members. This fosters a comfortable atmosphere for women to work out with confidence.

What we also like is that they offer a range of classes suitable for women at different fitness levels, from beginners to advanced, making it inclusive for all women.

24-hour gyms in Singapore have become popular, especially among busy individuals. Since I consider myself part of that group, I was glad to stumble upon Anytime Fitness on Kim Seng Road.

Anytime Fitness has made a big splash in Singapore, expanding into a huge gym and fitness franchise with nearly 90 branches spread out on the entire island. 

The gyms are cleverly located in community centres, sports halls, and other neighbourhood spots. It makes it super convenient for me to get my workout in.

Right off the bat, I like its unique no-frills and straightforward approach to fitness.

But there are also exciting classes where I can join group workouts and have a blast.

I found the staff and trainers at the Kim Seng location to be both friendly and professional. And it helps that the branch is fully equipped with various strength equipment like treadmills, power racks, deadlift platforms, and free weights. 

There’s a free one-day trial in case you’re sitting on the fence about joining Anytime Fitness. Alas, there’s no standard membership rates menu because they vary per location, so make sure to clarify how much they charge at your preferred branch.

Customer Reviews

Truly professional staff that made classes enjoyable

“Anytime fitness Kim Seng is a relatively new gym with new equipment. There are 2 levels, level 1 weights and strength training equipment, and level 2 cardio and functional area. One of the reasons coming here is great is due to the warm, friendly and patient staff, shout out to Dennis, Sophia and Sarah for your helpful presence in the gym. I also thoroughly enjoy the Muay Thai, yin yoga and pilates classes conducted by Iswandi, Claudia and Atka respectively. All of them are truly professional and made the classes very enjoyable and helpful in my fitness journey. Thanks and keep it up!” – Lewis Leong

Staff have been very patient 

“My greatest gratitude to Anytime Fitness (Kim Seng CC Branch) for providing a treadmill for my 24 hrs challenge. Staff (Sarah, Kevin and Sophia) have been very patient, providing me access to the treadmill for the challenge and standby 24/7 ensuring my safety on the equipment. I am truly grateful to them.” – Raymond Tan

As my bestie puts it, ActiveSG is “the budget-friendly superheroes of Singaporean fitness-freaks.” So if you’re looking for a cheap gym membership in Singapore, methinks your search stops here.

ActiveGYM by ActiveSG may not be the fanciest, but it sure knows how to satisfy your need for a good sweat session. Each gym offers a decent range of equipment for both strength training and cardio workouts. 

I particularly appreciated my visit to its Boon Lay location. Though primarily a hockey facility, its accessibility, cleanliness, and overall friendly vibe add an extra layer of appeal (on top of the extremely affordable rates).

A post shared by HockeyVillage@Boonlay (@activesghockeyvillageboonlay)

You can get your fitness fix at ActiveSG Gyms for as low as S$2.50 (S$1.50 for seniors and students) per visit! Yep, it’s like finding a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow (except the rainbow is filled with dumbbells and treadmills).

It might not be for those looking for more sophisticated amenities. But if you don’t mind basic equipment (free and stacked weights and cardio machines) and non-glamorous showers and lockers, you’ll like what ActiveGYM has to offer. 

Customer Reviews

Equipment is good and people are friendly

“Love the gym here. The equipments are good and the people there are friendly. Even if other people are using the equipment, there is plenty of space left to do your sets or work out. Easily accessible from lakeside mrt as well. the only downside is the locker, bag area and HUF machine because it requires an account (tried creating one but can’t.) to use, unlike the ones at JLG activesg gym. nonetheless, a good experience will come again.” – Nur R

Clean, spacious, and full of cool equipment

“This gym is amazing! Clean, spacious, and full of cool equipment to use. It’s really convenient to go to the nearest bus stop (99/240/246) just opposite the building.” – Aretha Law

I’ll sheepishly own up to visiting several Farrer Park-based gyms for today’s listicle, but I’m glad I did because I got to try different facilities and experiences. 

One of them offers a cheap gym membership that sits well with my budget and busy schedule. Yup, it’s open 24/7 in all of its branches!

Dennis Gym is a homegrown gem that’s taken the fitness scene by storm with its affordable gym memberships. Aside from that, it’s the place to be if you’re a bodybuilder prepping to flex your muscles on the competition stage.

A post shared by DennisGym (24hrs) (@dennis.gym)

The team at Dennis Gym is all about personal training, offering a wide range of programs and classes to help members achieve their fitness goals. So whether you want to tone those muscles or amp up your overall fitness, there’s a trainer to help you.

I’m particularly happy about not being tied down with rigid membership plans. Dennis Gym knows that flexibility is key, so it offers membership choices ranging from 6 months to 24 months. 

I did hear some complaints about some of the Farrer Branch amenities not being up to snuff, such as the water cooler and air conditioning. Hopefully, its management heeds this feedback ASAP to ensure a more pleasant gym experience.

Customer Reviews

The overall vibe is great

“Hands down, best choice I’ve made training at Dennis Gym. Also personally the location is mint from the staff, to the equipment, to the facility itself. The overall vibe is great and I have had nothing but good experiences. I definitely recommend them to my friends and family.” – Aseena Nana

Staff was friendly and attentive

“Gym was clean and safe distancing measures were enforced. The staff was friendly and very attentive. The price was very cheap and worth the value. 24-hour gym membership for a really good price and awesome personal training.” – Nazreen K

Here’s another gym I discovered in Farrer Park. I found it initially intimidating but changed my mind after meeting its professional trainers and staff.

Body Fit Training or BFT has a unique formula that combines science, technology, and heaps of fun to help you kiss those unwanted bulges goodbye. These sessions last 50 minutes each for optimum results (and leaner, meaner muscles).

BFT might seem daunting with all its hardcore cardio and strength-based classes, but I also think it has one of the best gym memberships for beginners. So if you’re new to the fitness scene, fret not.

A post shared by BFT (@bft_global)

BFT offers a wide range of classes that cater to all schedules, from morning birds to night owls. It does close a bit early for my liking on weekdays, and there’s no option to work out on Sundays.

If you want to give it a spin, I suggest getting a No Limits Pass instead of a Single Use Pass that expires after a week of booking. The latter is quite pricey at nearly S$100, too.

Customer Reviews

The BFT trainers are especially welcoming and will ensure you are safe

“I’ve been with BFT ever since it opened its doors in the Farrer Park area. The studio is clean, and constantly disinfected during this period. The BFT trainers are especially welcoming and will put their utmost efforts to ensure you are safe and training with the right form! I thoroughly enjoy the experience each and every day and the encouragement to hit our personal fitness goals!

Highly recommended if you’re looking to add fitness into your lifestyle, and change for the better. There are various timings of classes from morning till night. Give it a try and start training with a positive mindset, and at the end of the day, the only limiting factor will be you yourself!” – Darren Koh

The vibes during the workout is amazing

“I love training at BFT Farrer Park! The coaches are very knowledgeable and attentive. They will always offer advice to my questions about BFT programs, the exercises or health topics in general. If you are sceptical about joining a group training gym, you should have a go at BFT Farrer Park. There are very warm and friendly people here who will make you feel welcome. The vibes during the workout are also amazing, and it makes exercising and training fun! 10/10 would recommend this studio to anyone, even if you’re a beginner!” – Wendi Ng

Out of pure curiosity, I had to check out what my brother calls “the 30-minute gym.” Apparently, Ritual Gym offers a gym membership that delivers maximum results in lightning-fast workouts.

A post shared by Ritual | The 30-Minute Gym® (@ritualgym)

With this intriguing premise, I discovered the game-changing High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) at Ritual. It maximises efficiency via short bursts of active, sweat-inducing exercises that push your body to the limit with exceptional results.

The sessions are designed to fit seamlessly into a busy schedule, clocking in at just 30 minutes or less. So if you aren’t a fan of lengthy gym sessions, HIIT might just be your cup of tea.

My only complaint has to do with Ritual Gym’s no-show policy. While I understand discipline is essential, forgetting to check in on the front desk’s iPad will already register members as a no-show and render packages void!

Not everyone can rock (or want to) a tight spandex workout suit in a crowded gym. Sometimes, we do feel self-conscious about sharing a space when we’re doing something as intimate as exercising or getting our sweat on.

Enter The Gym Pod or, as I’d like to refer to it, the introverted gym-goer’s dream come true. It’s a concept that makes me say, “Finally, somebody gets it!” complete with app-based booking, automatic entry, and 24/7 availability. 

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by Private Gyms | Personal Training Services (@thegympod)

The Gym Pod is a 24-hour smart container gym chain that transforms container pods into personal gyms (tailored for one or two persons). It means no more awkward small talk or waiting for your turn on the equipment. 

It’s ideal when you need a break from human interaction (I feel you, I really do). But the blissful absence of other human beings might not appeal to gym-goers who like a fun, communal workout experience.

The Gym Pod is not without its flaws, either. For instance, you have the option to book multiple sessions at once, but it will cost more. 

Plus, with each session lasting just 30 minutes, you’ll need to make the most of your workout. There’s no room for slacking off, as running out of time means handing over your precious pod to the next scheduled user.

Customer Reviews

Price is reasonable for a private workout area

“Gym equipment and area well maintained and clean. A nice private gym area and the price is reasonable for a private workout area. Also, Special thanks to Angel from the customer service representative. Very fast response when I emailed in and mentioned that I left my watch in the pod. And thanks to their Facebook in charge for a prompt response when I asked to unlock the door to take my watch last night.

Would recommend GymPod.” – Liaw Liang Wei

This fitness wonderland goes all out with a wide range of classes. From TR-X training to yoga, Zumba, Body Combat, and everything in between, you name it, you can sign up for it.

While the gym’s monthly rates may be slightly higher than average, my friend says he still gets his money’s worth with all the membership perks involved. He has discount access to everything from superfood stores to wellness centres!

But if you’re a solitary gym-goer, Pure Fitness’s online home workout videos might be a better fit for you. You can choose yoga or fitness sessions or nutrition classes in the comfort of your own home.

Honestly, it all sounds good. But I just find it disappointing that the gym doesn’t allow early termination for specific packages.

“I was impressed by the service provided by one of the staff, Maya. She was very patient with my questions and did an amazing job of showing me around the gym.

It’s also a great option for the budget-conscious fitness freak. It even offers off-peak rates to whittle down the costs some more!

So whether you’re a fitness fanatic or just dipping your toes into the workout waters, you have options for both long-term and short-term fitness commitments. It’s just a letdown that Gymm Boxx has temporarily suspended its per-entry service.

The gym is nice and new and the counter staff friendly

“Joined the gym early this year and signed Amos on as my very first PT. With 0 knowledge and a penchant for hurting myself, Amos was friendly, and patient and thoughtfully adjusted his sessions per my condition. Couldn’t ask for a better trainer and rep counter.

Correction: every moneyed fitness enthusiast’s dream. There are customisable and bundled classes along with tiered memberships, though most already start at S$140 a month for basic access.

But if you’re after unique and exciting facilities like swimming pools and saunas, you won’t need to go for a hotel gym membership. Some of the Fitness First outlets in the country already offer those!

I also like that members have the option to freeze their membership in case they need to be somewhere for a month or require a recovery period. Not all gyms provide this thoughtful service. 

So if you like a little extra pampering and relaxation to complement your workout routine, Fitness First might be your cup of tea. It also offers a free trial and a proprietary app to sweeten the deal in case you’re still not sure it’s for you.

Amazing setup with well-maintained equipment

“Amazing setup with well-maintained equipment. Up-to-date facility. Plenty of room and space. Just avoid the peak periods, 12 pm to 2 pm and after 6 pm to 8 pm, and you will have the whole gym to yourselves. Personal Trainers are always available to assist you and they are absolutely friendly. I highly recommend this gym to anyone looking for one and enjoy it. Have a ripped bod.” – Uriah AG

A worthwhile investment for those serious about their fitness goals

“Fitness First Market Street is a popular gym that offers a wide range of fitness equipment and classes. The facilities are generally well-maintained, and the staff is friendly and helpful. Memberships can be expensive, but the variety of services offered makes it a worthwhile investment for those who are serious about their fitness goals.

If your gym routine is getting rote and boring (and seemingly pointless), perhaps it’s time to level it up to see the results you want. 

But bear in mind: Ultimate Performance in Singapore is not for the faint-hearted, whether you prefer one-on-one attention or the energy of group workouts

It has a 1-month unlimited membership option so you’ll have the opportunity to participate in up to two personal training sessions each week. That means personalised guidance from experienced trainers who will help you reach your fitness goals.

Speaking of trainers, the ones at Ultimate Performance are highly qualified and skilled to the point of being intimidating (but only to yours truly). They will sit down with you and take note of things that can point you in the right direction of optimal health.

So if you’re training for a special event, need to improve your form, or reach your ideal weight, they can tailor the perfect workout routine for you. They can also help with the right kind of meal prep, supplements, online resources, and other fitness aspects.

However, it only has one location in Singapore, unlike other gyms. This might pose a problem for those that don’t live or work near the location but need to use its top-notch facilities.

UP is very comprehensive in ensuring every aspect plays a part in your transformation

“Manual body measurements, photo log, nutrition log, training progress, water intake, and steps count. All are tracked in a single in-house app. UP is very comprehensive in ensuring every aspect that plays a part in making a difference in your transformation is being covered.

“UP is really the premier personal training program not just in Singapore but in the world! As someone who has been overweight his whole life I’ve tried numerous diets and exercise programs and none of them have worked until I found UP What makes UP so special My trainer! Of course, you expect a personal trainer to know how to do gym exercises and make sure you don’t have an injury, but Sarah has brought me so much more!

Taking a holistic approach to wellness, BFIT Life aims to be the go-to wellness centre for getting back on track and reclaiming a healthier way of life. That sounds good to me, especially with some injuries and muscle pains I’ve had of late.

BFIT Life personalises its services to cater to individual situations and needs. And though it’s better known as a sports injury clinic, its professional team can have a programme tailor-made for each client who still wants strength training.

From the moment I walked into their facility, I felt like the physiotherapists truly saw me as an individual (weak posture and all). I also appreciate the rationale behind each aspect of the program, ensuring I understood how it would benefit me in the long run.

Feels like a mini-spa and wellness retreat

“This Gym is definitely under-rated. It is well equipped with more than the usual fitness equipment that you find in the smaller gyms. It has 2 storeys with the cardio and smaller weight sections found on the second floor and the main weight training area situated on the first floor.

To top it all off, they have a sauna and jacuzzi pool with well-equipped shower facilities.

If you are a Safra member, the gym membership is at a discounted rate. Even if you are not, the gym membership is still considered very reasonable bearing in mind that they offer all the other added facilities. They even have a temporary pass promo for all you people who want to try out the gym before signing up for a year or two.

If you forgot your protein shakes, fret not! They have a vending machine packed with protein shakes, protein bars and other energy drinks. Best of all, the staff here are friendly and very helpful.

Most gyms promise a new you, but only Neue Fit promises a brand “neue” version of yourself. And it’s probably the best gym to accomplish it, as the place is a fitness paradise spanning over 4,000 square feet of pure fitness.

I signed up for its HIIT sessions, which are no joke! I was told to brace myself for an intense workout that will push me to my limits and beyond. 

I did find it tough but oh-so-rewarding.

But here’s the best part: the atmosphere at Neue Fit is simply amazing thanks to the friendly and incredible crowd that gathers there. It’s like stepping into a fitness community where everyone supports and encourages each other.

It’s not just HIIT you can get as a member here but also combat and cardio-based classes, yoga sessions, self-defence, and bodyweight training with callisthenics. It’s a fitness extravaganza, as my buddy puts it.

There is only one Neueu Fit location in Singapore, though. And while it’s open daily, the weekend gym hours are significantly shorter.

Customer Reviews

Each session is carefully planned

“Strong recommendation for Neue Fit for anyone who wants to learn muay thai or generally just get fit. I started PT with coach Sasi around a year ago and it’s been a great experience, when I was a total beginner he was really patient teaching me the basic MT techniques, and now I’m more confident it’s heaps of fun trying some of the more advanced stuff. Each session is carefully planned and different every time. Big shout out too to the other coaches, the HIIT sessions are brutal and it’s helped me get fitter than I ever thought I would. Finally, the other great thing about Neue Fit is that it attracts a friendly and really chilled out crowd, so don’t be scared to try it out.” – Andrew Milestone

Coaches and staff are professional and welcoming

“Coaches and staffs are professional and welcoming. It’s a nice place to learn various martial arts (muay thai, boxing, BJJ, etc). Highly recommended!

They also provide private training which makes it more accommodating timewise and faster improvement. Im seeing much faster improvement in my stamina, technique and usage in sparring. My instructor, Sasi, is humourous and patient which makes training more fun!” – Ong Jun Jie

At F45, the “F” stands for Functional Training, which is a fantastic blend of circuit and HIIT-style workouts designed to enhance everyday movements. It’s like getting a full-body workout that targets all those muscles you use in your daily life. 

The best part is that even if I initially felt like a deer caught in the headlights, I was set up with a personal trainer who guided me through the workouts and made sure I was fully prepared to rock the actual session. 

Yes, there’s a trial class if you’re also intrigued by what F45 has to offer. But you’ll need to consult with your preferred branch about the price, as it varies across locations.

Customer Reviews

I really enjoy the sessions and have more self-confidence now

“The coaches are very fun and helpful, they correct your form when needed and push you to do more. They encourage you to carry heavier weights when you look like you are not breaking a sweat. I really enjoy the sessions and have more self-confidence after coming as the trainers are very motivating and positive. I never knew exercising could be so fun.” – Umaira Caesar

I feel that my physical health has improved a lot

“It’s been an amazing experience for me at F45! I really enjoy the sessions and the instructors guide and motivate me constantly during each session. I feel that my physical health has improved a lot!! Definitely will recommend my friends/family to join F45!” – Nicole Julia

Reckon your fitness goals require both intensity and determination? Then The Pit might just be the gym that takes your workout to the next level.

Fair warning, though: it’s not for the casual gym-goer who likes getting pampered. The Pit has earned a reputation for not cutting corners or taking it easy, as it’s all about pushing your limits and giving it your all. 

It’s something I’ve been considering whenever I feel like challenging myself on the workout front. I like that it offers both one-on-one training and group classes on everything from metabolic conditioning to Muay Thai classes.

Oh, and it doesn’t believe in rest days either. Its trainers will keep you accountable by assigning “homework” that you’ll need to complete every week.

So if you like this sort of hardcore training, sign up for a personal trainer-led session at The Pit. But make sure you’re within the vicinity, as there’s only one location in Singapore.

Customer Reviews

Free weight training and variety of techniques are all taught in detail

“After extensive research, I eventually choose The Pit for two workout sessions during my One week stay in SG, and I must say that it exceeded all of my expectations! This gym is a fantastic spot for foreigners, as they offer flexible sessions that cater to any fitness level. Their focus on free weight training and the variety of techniques are all taught in detail. The staff and trainers are incredibly friendly, creating a welcoming atmosphere that instantly makes you feel at home. I never felt like a stranger, even on my first visit. I highly recommend The Pit to anyone looking for a top-notch gym experience!” – ‘Jack KKK’

Trainer focuses on your success while having fun along the way

“Great PT gym, camaraderie is awesome while we work out hard, Ving knows his stuff, focuses on your success and has fun along the way! No more foot or knee pain some more muscle and less belly!” – Brenton Smith

A post shared by REVL Training Raffles Place (@revl.training.rafflesplace)

What she loves most about REVL is that its trainers understand life can get busy. They offer flexibility to fit the client’s schedule, so they can make your workouts work for you.

When I visited the Raffles Place branch, I was impressed to see a well-equipped gym with state-of-the-art equipment and a variety of training options. The three unique programs—Move, Sweat, and Perform—cater to different goals and fitness levels. 

The only misgiving I see has to do with REVL’s weekend schedules. Its Saturday operations are only half-day, while the gym is closed on Sundays.

However, they don’t offer promos yet. We suggest checking their website for other affordable deals.

My closest friends and I stumbled upon Freedom Gym purely by accident, but we’re glad we did because we now have another fitness option that won’t break the bank. 

What sets it apart is its amazing freelance personal trainers who work on an hourly basis or through budget-friendly packages (ranging from S$20 to S$30 per hour). 

They don’t earn a gym commission, so clients can work within their budget and enjoy personalised training!

The gym itself has 40 Arsenal Strength machines, each designed to target different muscle groups. It’s like having a secret weapon for sculpting that dream physique. 

And you don’t even need a membership to experience the awesomeness of Freedom Gym. 

Simply pay your trainer directly for their top-notch services, and voila! You’re granted access to this fitness haven.

If you do want a membership, you’ll find that the rates are still quite reasonable. What isn’t reasonable for us, though, is that there’s currently only one Freedom Gym in all of Singapore.

Customer Reviews

The equipment is the best in the industry

“Freedom Gym provides an inclusive environment for all levels of gym-goers looking to grow in their fitness and body transformation journey. The equipment is the best in the industry including the personal trainers who are professional and always there to offer assistance. There is always a big smile from the service staff which is a nice reminder to start the day bright and positive!” – Yvonne Chia

Staff and PTs are super friendly

“Superbly equipped gym with a range of expert PTs. Staff and PTs alike are super friendly. Big mix of clientele male, female, old, young, amateurs and competition-level bodybuilders. Would strongly recommend for anyone looking to get in shape.” – John Young

Whether you’re a cardio junkie, a weightlifting champ, or just love to dabble in everything fitness, Virgin Active has you covered. 

At least that’s what my cousin told me in gushing tones after being a member for some time. She also gives two thumbs up to Virgin Active’s impressive menu of membership benefits.

A post shared by Virgin Active Singapore (@virginactivesg)

Apparently, joining Virgin Active means saying goodbye to signing fees and hello to unlimited access to all gym facilities. 

There are different plans offered to practically every type of gym-goer—from those who go once a week to the more hardcore long-termer.

Plus, with each plan, you’ll have access to the specific outlet you signed up for. To be honest, I’m pretty impressed with this level of flexibility that allows me to sweat it out wherever and whenever it suits my fancy.

But if you do decide to cancel within the minimum commitment period, there will be a small early termination fee. As long as you give a heads-up before that next payment kicks in, they’ll handle the cancellation smoothly for you.
