All the gains without the pain – these are 5 gyms in Singapore perfect for those who want to workout and still have fun.

1/5
Virgin Active
Virgin active’s classes take you to another dimension - literally. Aptly named “The Trip”, Virgin Active uses a huge cinema screen and surround sound system to immerse you in digitally created landscapes, like a futuristic utopian city, as you cycle away. You’ll be completely distracted from all the pain as you gain (or rather, lose up to 700 calories)! More information here.

STILL
Vent your every day frustrationa and tone your arm muscles at the same time! Instead of the traditional sand-filled punching bags, STILL uses tear-shaped aqua bags, which are filled with water. Dim lights, blasting music, and aesthetic aqua bags. What more can you ask? More information here.

CruCycle
You’ve probably seen the Facebook videos of women cycling furiously to clubbing music. Good news: you can now have that experience here in Singapore. Recreate that club experience (without the alcohol and the tight outfits of course), at CruCycle, where you can cycle to the beat in a dim room with accent lighting. You won’t be jamming out alone too - just like in a real club, you’re going to be moving to the beat with a bunch of other like-minded people (which they call “packs”)! Don’t forget their fresh fruit samples for a healthy post-workout snack! More information here.
