Here in sunny Singapore, we’ve got tons of options at our fingertips when it comes to sculpting a Grecian bod at the iron temple. However, the public gyms are notorious for being unreasonably packed once the clock strikes 6pm, so you turn to private gym memberships to spare yourself from the torture that is sharing the power rack with 5 other people.
But these memberships can be costly, and although they might make up for expensive monthly fees with ease of convenience, you’ll still want to make sure you’re getting your money’s worth. As such, here are some gym membership perks that you might not know you are entitled to, and no, we’re not talking about spontaneous compliments from folks who’ve been noticing your gains.

Meanwhile, Fitness First members can also tap into an arsenal of exclusive deals. They’ve got 14 outlets, with many of them being located in the city centre, within hotspots like Bugis Junction, Paragon, and One Raffles Quay. Those residing in the heartlands can also hit up branches like those in Westgate, Junction 10, and Tampines’ CPF Building.
When it comes to their gym membership perks, they’ve got quite a number of wellness-related deals to take note of; after all, you can’t quite work out when you’re out with an injury, and as they say, prevention is better than cure. As such, quash niggling ailments before they turn into something more serious with their discounted visits to the gym’s partnered spas and clinics.

Pilates princesses and HYROX regulars alike should look no further than Pure Fitness. Although fees can be steep for some, that’s because on top of access to their facilities, they host yoga and pilates classes led by top-notch instructors and PTs, and even HYROX-focused workout sessions.
If you really want to stretch your dollar, make sure to take advantage of your membership perks at Pure Fitness too. From discounts at a well-established hair salon along Orchard Road and spa treatments to deals on high-quality skincare products and activewear, their variety of perks is as well-rounded as their training regimes.

As Singaporeans, being on the prowl for the best deals around should come as second nature, but if you’re not aware of these gym membership perks even after pumping iron for a good while now, you’re welcome. They’re already taking a hefty chunk out of our monthly paycheck, so you’d best believe we’re making our memberships do some heavy lifting for a change.
