FIT AND FAB

How do expats keep in shape in Singapore? Our panel discusses the various clubs, groups and races they’re involved in.

I swim every second morning, which is a luxury, plus I go to Ritual Gym once or twice a week (it’s the best cross-fit training and it takes just 20 minutes). I also play tennis with my husband and his friends once every two weeks. – Alexandra

I work out with the people at Orange Theory Fitness at Robertson Quay for their group class workouts. I also go to barre classes at Upside Motion at Orchard Shopping Centre. There are plenty of marathons that happen throughout the year too, but I’m still mustering up the courage for them! – Ankita

I’m a big yoga fan and love the Kundalini yoga classes at One Heart in Tembeling Road. – Beth

I run, weight train and do yoga, which is great to strengthen the whole body, stretch and clear the mind. I take classes with Lori Nowak at Hale Yoga. I’ve also discovered pole dancing class, which is an insanely effective workout! SLAP studio offers tons off different classes, from beginner to more advanced levels, as well as dance classes without the pole for those who are less vertically inclined. – Dana

I join in the activities that are run in Sentosa like Pilates and Aquafit, as well as walking and cycling. I’m thinking of joining a dragon boat racing team. – Linda

I’ve run some 10-kilometre races and I did the Singapore marathon a couple of years ago. We have a great 50-metre pool at the condo, so I swim a few days and run outdoors or at the gym on others. – Lisa

I started playing tennis about two years ago and really love the sport. I joined a team and we practice two to four times a week and have a match every week. It’s a lot of fun with a great group of ladies and an intense workout too! – Mel

I’m into classes, so Guavapass, F45, Absolute Cycle, COMO or Upside Motion work well for me. We’re members of the Tanglin Club so we get to play tennis and squash there too. – Sophie
