Are you trying to up your fitness game or looking for fun ways to stay fit? Gym memberships could be the answer. After all, gyms offer a variety of classes along with an array of fitness equipment to go with it. The only catch is that gym memberships in Singapore can be pricey and they often require you to commit for a prolonged period. 

The solution? Get a gym membership trial instead. It’s the perfect way for you to try out the best gyms in Singapore before committing your time and money. Even if you’re not really looking for a long term gym membership, trials are a great way to try new activities and break up the monotony of your fitness routine.

Here are five gym membership trials  to consider, each offering a different type of activity. 

1. Anytime Fitness Singapore: Good for round-the-clock workouts 

Can’t sleep at night and want to shake off the insomnia with a sweat sesh? Or perhaps you’re working shifts and can’t make it to the gym during conventional hours. In such scenarios, Anytime Fitness may be your best bet.

Open 24/7 across its 81 gyms in Singapore, Anytime Fitness is great for those who like to workout at odd hours. The gyms usually have a basic but decent selection of equipment for strength and cardio training. Members are also entitled to additional benefits such as free classes as well as training and coaching services, which differ according to location.

The best part of all? Anytime Fitness offers a free one day trial at its outlets. That’s right, free. All you have to do is apply for a free 1-day pass at your preferred outlet. 

2. True Fitness Singapore: For budding yogis

Available at six locations island-wide, True Fitness offers a variety of group classes for yoga and pilates, aerobics, dance and spin. This includes classes for yoga basics like hatha, yin and hot yoga, as well as more unique ones such as aerial acrovinyasa yoga and aerial yoga.

Gym trials at True Fitness are free, but there’s a caveat. When applying for a trial session, you’ll have to choose your trial type – gym facilities, group classes or personal training. While you may not be able to experience everything the gym has to offer, it’s still a pretty good deal bearing in mind that it costs nothing.

To sign up for a trial at True Fitness, simply head online to choose your preferred gym location and trial type. The facilities and type of classes differ according to location, so make sure the outlet you choose offers you what you want before signing up for it.

3. Ascend Fitness: For a multi-sensory workout 

One of the newest kids on the block, Ascend Fitness offers three different concepts at its gym – RIDE, EXERGAME 4D and EXERSTRENGTH. Of these three, EXERGAME 4D is a group workout that stands out with its projection mapping and motion sensing features to give you a multi-sensory experience.

It also includes gamification elements that let you compete with others, making it a fun option for exercising with friends. Classes are offered on a credit or ticket basis. A ticket for a single EXERGAME 4D class usually goes for S$40, but you can get it slightly cheaper at the trial price of S$30. 

4. Spartans Boxing Club: For boxing-inspired fitness

This boxing gym has boxing classes of all types, from basic boxing classes to ladies boxing and sparring. With boxing class for kids, exercising can be an affair for the whole family. 

Spartans Boxing Club has 12 different outlets in Singapore, each with their own membership rates and packages. To give boxing classes a shot, you can sign up for a free trial via their app, which gives you a complimentary 45 minute session at your preferred gym.

5. ClassPass: For a variety of workouts

If you prefer to try a bit of everything, a ClassPass membership gives you access to fitness classes around Singapore (and the world). It’s great if you want to try out a new fitness activity without committing throughout the trial.

Whether it’s spin, yoga, cycling or HIIT, you can choose from classes of different types, across multiple studios at a location and time that fits your schedule. This includes classes from the likes of Barry’s, Revolution, Lumi Cycle, Yoga Movement and others.

Their free trial comes with 20 credits that you can use for a month. Depending on class type and studio, each class can be worth anything from 1 credit to 13 credits. Usually, the more popular the studio is, the more credits you’ll need. 

StepUp your wellness and get rewarded 

If you look hard enough, you’ll find that there are many cheap or free trials that make for a fun workout. Staying fit doesn’t have to cost you a thing, except time and effort. Conversely, you’ll get rewarded for it. Besides the health benefits and confidence it gives you, you can earn tangible rewards each time you exercise.
