The best gyms in Singapore for every budget and goal

From S$15-a-month public iron rooms to S$200-plus premium clubs, here's where every kind of Singapore gym-goer actually gets their money's worth, and the catch nobody tells you before you sign.

Singapore gym prices stretch from about S$15 a month (ActiveSG off-peak) to north of S$200 a month (premium clubs), and the gap is almost entirely about extras you may never use: pools, cold plunges, hundreds of classes, prime CBD addresses. The right pick is not the cheapest or the fanciest. It's the one that matches how often you actually go, where you live or work, and whether you want classes and a pool or just a barbell and a rack.

So we've grouped real, currently-operating gyms by budget and goal, cheapest first. For each, here's who it suits, an indicative SGD price (always confirm the current promo before signing), and the catch.

One rule before you read on: under roughly 12 visits a month, ActiveSG's S$2.50 pay-per-entry beats every monthly membership on this list. Do the maths on your honest gym frequency, not your aspirational one.

Cheapest and public

1. ActiveSG (ActiveGYM)

Best for: the casual or infrequent gym-goer who just wants iron without a contract.

Run by Sport Singapore at public sports centres across the island, ActiveGYM is the floor price of fitness here. Pay-per-entry is S$2.50 for adults (S$1.50 for students and seniors), or go monthly at S$30 for all hours and S$15 off-peak (weekdays until 4pm). There's an annual plan too, at S$300 all-hours or S$80 off-peak. If you live or work near a sports centre, nothing touches it on cost.

The catch: equipment is basic, and the popular sites get genuinely packed after work and on weekends. There are no classes or pool bundled into the gym fee, and some older centres want a S$10 refundable deposit for the access card. It's a place to lift, not to lounge.

Where to get it: ActiveSG sports centres islandwide; sign up at activesg.gov.sg.

2. SAFRA EnergyOne Gym

Best for: Singaporeans and PRs who want a value monthly rate, especially recently-ORD'd NSmen.

Across seven SAFRA club locations, EnergyOne is a solid mid-budget option. SAFRA members get Platinum rates from around S$45 a month on an 18-month plan; the Term membership, open to all Singaporeans and PRs, starts around S$70 a month on the same commitment. The standout is the post-ORD deal for NSmen at roughly S$25 a month (about S$300 a year). All prices include 9% GST.

The catch: the best rates lean on a long 18-month commitment and/or SAFRA membership, and that headline ~S$25 rate is time-limited to those who've just finished National Service. Miss the window and you're paying the standard tier.

Where to get it: SAFRA clubs; details at safra.sg/energyone-gym.

24-hour and budget chains

3. Anytime Fitness

Best for: 24/7 access close to home, with the largest gym footprint in Singapore.

If convenience is your priority, Anytime's network is hard to beat. Monthly rates run from about S$98 at HDB-heartland outlets up to roughly S$140-158 at CBD locations, plus a one-time joining fee of around S$50-100. Your access card works across outlets, but your home club sets your rate.

The catch: every club is franchise-owned, so price, equipment and upkeep vary outlet to outlet. There's no single official rate, and that joining fee sits on top. Time your sign-up to a promo period and negotiate the joining fee, because it's often flexible.

Where to get it: outlets islandwide; anytimefitness.sg.

4. 24/7 Fitness (formerly GymmBoxx)

Best for: lifters who want 24-hour racks and plates, not a class timetable.

Hong Kong-based 24/7 Fitness acquired homegrown GymmBoxx in 2024 and now runs around 23 outlets islandwide. Pricing is refreshingly transparent: S$98 a month on a 12-month plan, S$128 on six months, S$178 for a single month, with no joining fee, no card fee and no prepayment. For a no-frills strength gym, the 12-month rate is among the best value going.

The catch: that S$98 number needs the 12-month commitment. Flexible one-month access at S$178 is steep, and the stripped-back format means fewer classes and amenities than the mid-tier chains.

Where to get it: sg.247.fitness.

Mid-tier, full-service

5. Fitness First

Best for: the regular who wants a big class timetable and multi-club access.

Fitness First runs 12 locations with extensive group classes and some sites carrying pools or cold plunge. Single-club (Home Club) membership starts from about S$200 a month, all-club (Passport) from around S$225, and there's a no-contract FITPASS option priced per credit (one credit equals one gym or class entry, around S$25 a credit), with zero joining fee.

The catch: it sits among the pricier chains, and the low FITPASS entry only makes sense for occasional users. If you go regularly, those per-visit credits add up fast and the monthly plan works out cheaper.

Where to get it: fitnessfirst.com/sg.

6. True Fitness

Best for: someone who wants classes (yoga, spin, bodypump) bundled with a proper gym floor at a mid-tier price.

True Fitness operates multiple central and mall outlets with classes and personal training. Pricing spans roughly S$95 to S$170 a month depending on package, for example a ~S$95 gym-only plan, ~S$99 for gym plus unlimited classes, up to ~S$170 for a premium all-class tier.

The catch: published rates vary widely by package and promo, and pricing is often quoted only on inquiry. Contract length swings the monthly figure too, so pin down the exact plan terms before you sign anything.

Where to get it: truefitness.com.sg.

Premium and boutique

7. Virgin Active

Best for: a premium club experience with flexible weekly membership and rich facilities.

Virgin Active's central and CBD clubs come with pools, deep class schedules and on-demand content. Membership is priced per week: from about S$39 (Once-a-weeker) up to ~S$89 (Goal Getter), with longer 12-to-24-month commitments landing around S$66-73 a week. There's no joining fee.

The catch: per-week pricing quietly masks the real monthly cost, which works out to roughly S$170 to S$380-plus a month. The cheapest tier caps how often you can visit, and the best weekly rates demand long commitments.

Where to get it: virginactive.com.sg.

8. Pure Fitness

Best for: users who want top-tier facilities in prime CBD locations and will actually use them.

Pure Fitness sits at the high end, with prime-location clubs and extensive classes. Expect roughly S$175 to S$400 a month, quoted on inquiry.

The catch: it's the most expensive bracket here, pricing is opaque, and rates sit well above the mid-tier chains. It only makes sense if the premium amenities and address genuinely earn their keep for you, otherwise you're paying for a lobby you walk through.

Where to get it: enquire directly via Pure Fitness Singapore.

Women-only

9. Amore Fitness & Define

Best for: women who want a female-only space with a huge class library and spa facilities.

Amore has run women-only gyms for over 30 years, with mall locations across the island. The draw is 500-plus fitness and dance classes plus spa amenities. Expect a one-off joining fee around S$165, a 3-month unlimited all-club package around S$564 (about S$729 total for the first three months once the joining fee is in), and a two-week trial around S$45.

The catch: it's sold as multi-month packages rather than cheap month-to-month, and the equivalent monthly cost (~S$188 on the 3-month plan) lands in premium territory. Note too that not every Amore address is a women-only gym: some sites (Bugis Junction among them) are listed as spa-only "Define" outlets rather than the full women-only gym, so check the location type before you commit.

Where to get it: amorefitness.com.

10. MSFIT

Best for: women who want round-the-clock, female-only access in the CBD.

MSFIT is a 24-hour women-only gym in the CBD (Cecil Street), running classes like circuit, yoga, Zumba, functional and vibration training alongside the gym floor. For women who train before or after office hours and want a secure female-only space, the 24-hour access is the selling point.

The catch: it's a single-location, niche operator rather than an islandwide chain, and pricing (membership and class-credit options) is given on inquiry. Always confirm the current rate and contract terms directly before signing.

Where to get it: msfit.sg.

How to choose

Stack three things in order: how often you'll really go, where it is, and whether you need classes or a pool. Honest frequency decides the tier. Under ~12 visits a month, ActiveSG pay-per-entry wins outright, no contest. Around 12-20 visits and you want it near home or work, a 24-hour chain like 24/7 Fitness or Anytime earns its keep. Crave classes, a pool or a community, and the mid-tier and premium clubs start to make sense, as long as you'll use what you're paying for.

Bottom line
Match your real visit frequency and location to a tier first, then chase the promo. The fanciest membership you skip is worse value than the basic one you actually use.

And always confirm current promos and contract length before signing. Prices here are indicative ranges checked in 2026, set by individual outlets and franchisees, and they shift with promotions.
