Waking up hungover and hearing the ringing in your ears is not a good feeling. But the high from a wild night out sure is.
Since raving all night works up quite a sweat, here’s an idea: take the fun of clubbing and incorporate it into your exercise routine – minus the next-day headache. That’s right – there are classes that let you work out in a club-like atmosphere, so you won’t even feel like you’re exercising. Here are 10 gym classes to rave at (and about).
Pure Fitness offers both mass VR cycling, and individual VR gaming for those daunted by workouts in big groups. Don their VR headgear, and get on one of their special bikes to game and gym simultaneously. You will soon forget about your sore muscles as you compete with other players.
The gym opens until 12am on weekdays, perfect for those who are constantly OT-ing.

At CruCycle, the room is dim with blue accent lighting, similar to what you’d find at many bars and clubs. Riders cycle to the same beat, creating an atmosphere that resembles a party rave. At the same time, this fosters a sense of togetherness which encourages riders to push themselves further and accomplish more as a group.
Prices are all NETT and there are complimentary shoe rentals, so you can hop on over after work even while in stilettos. After an intense session, wash up at their shower rooms, equipped with lockers and clean towels. There’s even free fresh fruit for a healthy post-workout snack!
Price: From $36/class.
If you’re looking to try this out but aren’t sure if you want to commit, you can get 2 first-timer classes for just $50 in total!

STILL’s layout looks like something out of a Nike commercial; sleek, simple and pleasing to the eye. You’d want to strike a cool pose for the ‘gram before you start your workout, and watch the likes roll in.
This place puts a spin on regular boxing by using the concepts of a dark room with neon lights and fast music. They use aquabags instead of sandbags, which feels closer to punching a human – thus making the experience more realistic.
Price: from $28.30/month

Ground Zero has sure got that grungey “warehouse” vibe down, with exposed bricks and pipes. Neon light strips across the concrete ceiling add a futuristic look, and the playlists are specially curated to get you on beast mode as you partake in their spin classes.

Ground Zero also offers boxing classes in dark rooms, where the only light source comes from a grid on the floor, mirroring laser sensors in spy movies. You can pretend to be in Kingsman movie as you throw punches and dodge to keep fit.
There are multiple tear-drop shaped punching bags suspended in a row, so you will be boxing alongside strangers; this may not be the most suitable for those who need a big amount of personal space when exercising.
Price: from $30/class
