You only need to witness the volume of athleisure wear and post-workout boomerangs on social media to realise that there’s a fitness craze raging in Singapore. But while classes such as spin and pole dancing have become all the rage, there’s nothing like Crossfit and HIIT to really burn those festive calories with an intense workout that includes cardio and strength training.
To get you started, we’ve sussed out a list of the best Crossfit and HIIT gyms in Singapore for you to sweat buckets at.
Outdoorsy folks who prefer to sweat it out in fresh air can visit WE ARE ONE Fitness which is just a 9-minute walk from 6th Avenue MRT. As the largest outdoor Crossfit gym in Singapore, you’ll get tons of space to burn some calories under the tutelage of highly experienced coaches, including ex-national sportsmen and high-level athletes.
Barbells and pull up bars can be intimidating at first glance but newbies will be sufficiently prepared with their Introductory CrossFit Fundamentals course promotion ($99 for a fundamentals class and three sessions). If the course leaves you wanting more, you’ll be able to purchase a 10-session pack for $280, or an unlimited plan from $300 for one month. Else, drop-in classes cost $30.
