TRAIN AND TONE
Whether the gym isn’t really your thing, or you simply prefer exercising in your living room, here are three ways you can get fit from home.
#1 Practice Pilates
If you’re looking to try something that’ll tone and trim in a low-impact way, Pilates might be a good fit for you. Not only does it tone your muscles and strengthen your core, but it can also improve your mind-body connection and act as a great stress reliever. You can practice mat Pilates anywhere, from your patio to your bedroom – no equipment needed!

#2 Sign up for a virtual personal training programme
Ultimate Performance Singapore (UP) is known for its tailored, holistic approach to helping clients achieve physical and lifestyle transformations. But, if you’re not comfortable committing to an in-gym sweat sesh, you can still reap the benefits of UP’s no-nonsense approach! The gym is still offering its UP Lockdown Programme – a special feature that launched during COVID-19 for people who want to work out and still achieve results from the safety of their own homes. Along with a weekly 60-minute video checkin and virtual training session, the programme includes daily online support and accountability from your UP trainer (plus five days a week of 15-minute Skype calls!), access to the programme’s community support Facebook group and more. Your personal trainer will work with you to create a fully bespoke resistance and strength training workout, and all dietary intake and progress is tracked just as it would be in person – so, no excuses!

#3 Combine in-gym and athome training
If you’re looking to mix things up, ATP Fitness is now offering a hybrid programme that incorporates in-gym training with virtual sessions over Zoom. So, you can still have the flexibility of working out at home, while taking advantage of ATP’s winning combination of cutting-edge science, time-proven coaching strategies and a big dose of accountability.
The gym uses its proprietary “D.N.A.” process to analyse your daily routine, nutrition habits and activity before providing a tailored approach based around your individual lifestyle.
You can also check out ATP Fitness’s Metabolic Health Programme, which includes regularly updated workouts to do two to four times a week, nutrition advice (in person, by email and via WhatsApp) and constant encouragement to stay on track (even when you’re not in the gym!).
