With more boutique gyms and fitness centres entering the neighbourhood zones, it is so much more convenient for any heart-landers to train and exercise regularly. Such gyms offer small group exercise classes in a cosy environment as such you’ll receive more attention from the gym instructor or trainer as compared to those large commercial gyms. Higher Ground Fitness is one of such gyms which offer HIIT-style training classes catering to all individuals of various fitness levels. It is located along East Coast Road, in Katong Area and a couple of weeks ago, I was invited to try out their Hybrid Training Class at their gym. You will have to take a…

Ground Zero : FIGHT OR RIDE?
The moment I step into Ground Zero, I felt as if I immediately transported to a different zone with the sharp earthy scents and upbeat music. The masculine vibe here is strong with the black furnishings and walls. This new boutique gym along Carpenter Street speaks of a different vibe from the other gyms or studios which I’ve been to. Over here, they offer two types of high-intensity class: Rumble or ride. Rumble is a boxing-inspired group fitness class while Ride is an indoor cycling class. I’ve tried such group fitness classes before but not at Ground Zero. Last week, I got to try their Rumble and Ride classes. FIGHT I…

Triaction by Triumph : The Most Comfortable Sports Bra
I am trembling with excitement as I write this post. I think I’ve just found the most comfortable sports bra to date. Wearing a sports bra is a must for me because I enjoy doing cardio, which requires more chest support. Most sports bras don’t lend much of that, and instead, make up for it by tightening up your chest area to keep your bust secure. Sometimes it can get too uncomfortable especially during workouts. Triaction by Triumph has stepped up their game by using their expertise in bra lingerie to come up with the most functional sports bra that could rival well-known sports brands that produce quality sportswear for women – without…

GUAVAPASS: Is it worth it?
If you don’t like the idea of heading to the same gym for group workouts by the same instructors and prefer trying out a variety of workouts, then GuavaPass might be something you are looking for. It’s a fitness pass that allows you to have to access a curated list of fitness studios in Singapore. Depending on the type of GuavaPass membership you purchased, you can either go for the umlimited number of classes or a fixed number of classes per month. I gave this fitness app a go for a month and it was a pleasant experience except for the technical issues I had with the app. GuavaPass also…

Orangetheory Fitness Review : Heart-rate-monitored Training
Head about Orangetheory Fitness ? Their advertising ads were constantly appearing on my Facebook wall feed. They were successful in capturing my attention. Before the opening of their new fitness studio at Robertson Quay, I’ve already taken part in their pre-opening event. They have organised a few giveaways and HIIT classes just to reach out to the public and get their name out. I’ve attended their Bootcamp class at Botanic Gardens and from that session, I got to know more about Orangetheory Fitness and the exercise routine they’ve adopted. It’s like a 60-minute HIIT workout. The only difference is that you would have to put on heart rate monitors so that you would be…

Trampoline Park : Bounce Bounce (From the Adult’s Perspective)
It gets increasingly more difficult to plan for an exciting and eventful date in Singapore if you want to leave out the cafe and restaurant options. I mean, it is fun to check out new cafes at less-known places in Singapore but it also means that we have to spend quite a bit because cafe food is quite pricey. However, we wanted to do something active as a pair so that we can stay fit. Other than gyming together to exploring parks, we thought we could visit a trampoline park and jump out of our anxieties and worries accumulated during the weekdays at work. Sam has won a 1-for-1 voucher…

How Foams Rollers Could Potentially Prevent Sports Injuries
When I first started going to gyms and working out more vigorously, I had no knowledge of sports health and human physiology or whatsoever. It was only through gym instructors and trainers who shared with me some of their knowledge on how different groups of muscles worked together and how to carry out each exercise in the correct body form. Say for instance if you are a lifting weights while doing a squat, your knees shouldn’t stretch out beyond your toes otherwise your knees would get hurt. Through my fitness journey, I’ve also learned the importance of stretching to reduce tightness in the muscle, hamstrings, and IT bands. Since I…
