The best gyms in Singapore for every budget and goal

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 not just about equipment. It is usually about extras you may never use: pools, cold plunges, hundreds of classes and prime CBD addresses.

If you train often and care about the gym floor itself, 24/7 Fitness is our best value overall pick. ActiveSG is still unbeatable for infrequent training, and Anytime Fitness is the convenience monster thanks to its network, but value is not the same thing as lowest price. A gym should be judged first by the gym.

So we've sorted real, currently-operating gyms by value category, not just by raw ranking. 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.

Indicative SGD pricing as of June 2026: confirm current promo before signing; under ~12 visits/month, ActiveSG pay-per-entry may still beat membership.

Best value overall

1. 24/7 Fitness (formerly GymmBoxx)

Best for: lifters who want the money going into racks, plates and machine selection instead of hotel-lobby energy.

Hong Kong-based 24/7 Fitness acquired homegrown GymmBoxx in 2024 and now runs more than 20 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 strength-focused gym, that S$98 plan is the best value on this list.

The reason is not just price. 24/7's own outlet pages show a deliberate mix of equipment brands across locations, including Hammer Strength, Life Fitness, Nautilus, Gym80, Torque and Booty Builder, with newer specialist pieces such as NewTech also showing up in the broader curation. From our team's point of view, that matters more than whether a gym has a marble counter at reception. Some expensive big-box gyms still run dated Life Fitness or Technogym ranges that look respectable but feel worse under load than newer, better-chosen machines.

This is the part many casual gym-goers do not notice until they train on better kit. A well-chosen machine does not just look new. It tends to put the joints in cleaner positions, load the target muscle more honestly and make the same exercise feel less awkward. That is why equipment curation is not just a bodybuilding nerd detail. Better biomechanics help beginners too, because they make it easier to find the movement without fighting the machine.

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. If you mostly want to lift, that is the point.

Where to get it: sg.247.fitness.

2. Anytime Fitness

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

Anytime is the close second if convenience is your main value metric. Its Singapore site says there are 155 local gyms, plus access to thousands more worldwide, and that is hard to argue with if the nearest outlet is five minutes from your flat or office. 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. As a network, it wins on reach. As a gym-floor value pick, we put it behind 24/7 Fitness because the equipment curation is less consistent and often less interesting for serious strength training.

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

Cheapest and public

3. 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.

4. 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.

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 bundled with a gym floor and has a specific True or TFX outlet that is genuinely convenient.

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. TFX is the better-looking sibling brand, with clubs at Funan, Millenia Walk and CIMB Plaza, and those sites usually feel more complete than the older True Fitness floor.

The catch: as a gym floor, True Fitness is hard to recommend unless the location is the whole reason you are joining. The big-box model creates heavy utilisation, and capital expenditure does not always keep pace with wear. That shows up as dated strength machines, inconsistent upkeep and a floor that can feel tired even when the sales package looks attractive.

TFX is generally the stronger version of the group, but it is still worth inspecting the exact club before signing. The better outlets can be usable. The weaker ones make the membership feel like paying for a brand name and class schedule rather than a serious training environment.

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: executives who value prime locations, towel-and-kit convenience, and a premium club setting more than gym-floor value.

Pure Fitness sits at the high end, with prime-location clubs at Asia Square and Ngee Ann City, extensive classes and a very convenient member experience. The practical perk is real: shorts and T-shirts are provided, so office workers can train without carrying a full kit bag. Socks are still on you. Memberships commonly land around S$200 to S$250 a month for many corporate-style offers, though quotes vary by access, contract and promo.

The catch: Pure is decent, but not good value if the main thing you care about is the gym floor. Much of the equipment mix is older Life Fitness or Hammer Strength, and many premium fitness facilities in Singapore have gone long stretches without the kind of heavy renovation that would justify their current pricing. PURE's locations are excellent, and the changing-room convenience is excellent. The equipment value is not.

That distinction matters. If you train for strength, hypertrophy or serious gym progression, the machine age and selection become part of the product. Paying S$200-plus a month for older kit only makes sense if the location, amenities and service layer are the real reason you are there.

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 the actual training floor is worth paying for. 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, start with 24/7 Fitness if there is one near you, then Anytime Fitness if network convenience matters more. Crave classes, a pool or a premium changing-room setup, and the mid-tier and premium clubs start to make sense, as long as you are honest that you are paying for those extras rather than better equipment.

If a general membership is not quite what you are after, we have narrower guides for most of these decisions. Beginners can start with the best gyms in Singapore for beginners, and anyone still on the fence should read whether a gym membership is actually worth it before signing anything. For serious lifters, the best boutique gyms for serious training go deeper on equipment than the big chains here. If you want coaching rather than just floor access, see the best personal training studios in Singapore. For class-led training, we cover the best yoga studios, the best reformer Pilates studios, and the honest reformer Pilates versus the gym for strength verdict. The best bouldering and climbing gyms cover the wall crowd, and if you are chasing HYROX, we tested REVL as a HYROX training base.

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. For the exact, dated number behind each of these picks, see our Singapore gym membership price index, updated monthly straight from each operator's own page.
