Singapore’s gym scene spans a huge price range — from S$2.50 pay-per-visit sessions at a public sports centre to premium clubs charging hundreds a month for a pool and sauna. The “best” gym really depends on your budget and what you actually need, so here’s a breakdown by price tier and use case, with real, current rates so you know what to expect before you walk in.
1. ActiveSG Gyms — Best for Zero Commitment
Run by Sport Singapore, ActiveSG gyms sit inside public sports centres islandwide — think Jurong East, Tampines, Sengkang, Toa Payoh and Clementi. There’s no contract, no joining fee, and you only pay for the sessions you use.
- Price: S$2.50 per entry (adult), S$1.50 (student/senior), or S$30/month for an unlimited monthly pass
- 25+ locations islandwide inside public sports centres
- No contract, no joining fee — pay only for what you use
- Best for: casual gym-goers and anyone who wants to try before committing to a paid membership
2. 24/7 Fitness — Best for Strength Training
If your workouts revolve around free weights, squat racks and barbells rather than machines and mirrors, 24/7 Fitness is one of the strongest value picks in Singapore. Expect a no-frills layout built around lifting rather than group classes.
- Price: per-entry rates around S$10–15, or under S$100/month for regular members
- 24 outlets, all open 24 hours
- Ample squat racks, benches, plates and free weights — fewer frills, more equipment
- Best for: powerlifters and heavy lifters who want islandwide access without premium pricing
3. GYMMBOXX — Best Budget 24-Hour Option
GYMMBOXX (now under a Hong Kong fitness chain) runs 24 always-open outlets with transparent, published pricing and none of the usual joining or card fees that other 24-hour gyms tack on.
- Price: from S$98/month on a 12-month plan, up to S$178/month on a rolling no-lock-in basis
- 24 outlets, all 24-hour access
- No joining fee, no card fee, no prepayment required
- Best for: budget-conscious gym-goers who want 24-hour access without Anytime Fitness’s global-roaming premium
4. Anytime Fitness — Best for Convenience & Travel
Anytime Fitness is Singapore’s largest 24-hour gym franchise, with 90+ outlets tucked into HDB heartland malls and neighbourhood centres — there’s almost always one within a short walk or MRT stop. Your membership also unlocks thousands of Anytime locations worldwide, which makes it a favourite for frequent travellers.
- Price: roughly S$98/month at heartland outlets, up to S$140–158/month in the CBD — pricing is set per franchise, so it varies by outlet
- 90+ outlets — highest density of any 24-hour chain in Singapore
- Global access to Anytime Fitness locations worldwide after 30 days
- Most outlets have an 18-month minimum commitment — confirm terms at your specific outlet before signing
- Best for: people who want maximum convenience, global access, and don’t mind a longer commitment
5. SAFRA EnergyOne — Best Budget Premium Option
If you (or a family member) qualify for SAFRA membership, EnergyOne is the cheapest way into a premium-grade gym in Singapore — full amenities including sauna and swimming pool, at a fraction of what standalone premium clubs charge.
- Price: S$45–54/month depending on plan length (cheaper on longer commitments); dependant/spouse tier from S$35–43/month
- Requires SAFRA membership (around S$43.30/year for NSmen)
- Full amenities: sauna, swimming pool, and gym floor
- Best for: NSmen and their families who want premium facilities on a budget
6. Fitness First / Virgin Active / Pure Fitness — Best Full-Service Premium
At the top end, Singapore’s premium club chains offer pools, saunas, extensive group classes and CBD locations — but they come with the highest prices and the strictest contracts in this list, so read the fine print before signing.
- Price: typically S$150–400+/month depending on chain, tier and contract length
- Full amenities: pool, sauna, group classes, and premium equipment
- Fitness First and Virgin Active typically require 12-month minimum contracts with joining fees
- Best for: those who want a full-service club experience and will use the classes and amenities regularly enough to justify the price
