However what used to be the norm in order to add some form of exercise regime to your days may just become a thing of the past. And for that we have workout membership programs such <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mariefranceasia.com\/health\/healthy-practices\/guavapass-ticket-fun-fit-life-singapore-96542.html\">as GuavaPass,<\/a> KFit and<a href=\"http:\/\/www.mariefranceasia.com\/health\/healthy-practices\/passport-asia-fitness-fingertips-102339.html\"> Passport Asia<\/a>\u00a0to thank. Taking the lead in\u00a0offering a whole new system to experiencing gyms and alternative forms of physical exercise - beyond machines - these programs are\u00a0comprehensive, fuss-free and takes minutes to sign up.<\/p> <p>Essentially, the three new players in the market provide a brilliant new alternative that gives you access to multiple different types of workouts across different establishments in Singapore. So you could basically\u00a0choose to go <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mariefranceasia.com\/health\/crucycle-studio-whole-new-way-enjoy-spinning-50032.html\">spin cycling at CruCyle<\/a> one day, belly dancing at Pole Academy the next and end the week with yoga at Outta Hatha, all of which could be arranged for with one subscription - instead of different\u00a0memberships at different studios.<\/p> <p>Intrigued, we decided to give GuavaPass a go and well, we have to say it was way more seamless and refreshing than expected.<\/p> <h2> <span>Our verdict on GuavaPass:<\/span> <\/h2> <p>Logging into the relatively clean and simple interface of GuavaPass made enough of a good impression to begin with. Thereafter, all I had to do was search for a class or studio according to location and a whole slew of options would slide on by - pick a date and time and that's it, you're all booked to go.<\/p> <p>So I decided to go with CruCycle's Pack Ride and boy was that one exhilarating block of 50 minutes. As soon as the lights went down and thumping music came on, it was evident that the session was not going to be a walk in the park. Along with GuavaPass founders, Jeffrey Liu and Robert Pachter (who try all the workouts they bring onto GuavaPass) in the group, the energy soared\u00a0as\u00a0the intensity climbed higher and higher. By the end of it, though my legs - and every other muscle - ached, the sense of accomplishment more than made up for it.<\/p> <p>And with that,\u00a0I was more than revved up to immediately book another workout at another studio. Perhaps I'll go with a more calming session of yoga this time.<\/p> <p>What also piqued our interest for GuavaPass was that it offers the ability to try workouts across different countries, namely\u00a0Hong Kong and Bangkok. So the next time you're travelling on a business trip, you can be rest assured that you'll still be able to get a workout in or try something completely different in those locales.<\/p> <p>So will you be jumping the ship from gym memberships?<\/p> <p><em>Tarandip Kaur<\/em><\/p> ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After taking a class through the newly launched GuavaPass membership
