From HIIT to Heal: How Men Are Rethinking Fitness in Singapore
Fitness is no longer just about intensity—it’s about sustainability, recovery, and overall longevity
Recovery is king
Giving it all you’ve got in the gym is great, but the best results come when you’re able to maintain a consistent and well-rounded fitness routine.
In Singapore, where men are becoming more conscious about how to get their gains in a more efficient way, more facilities offer services that go beyond weights and equipment. They focus on recovery, mobility, and sustainable ways to boost your energy.
Here are some places to check out:
Trapeze Rec. Club
With four floors’ worth of space for exercise and wellness, Trapeze Rec. Club offers a variety of classes across martial arts, overall fitness, and recovery. They also have a canteen offering healthy meals and pick-me-ups, from açai bowls, ayurvedic smoothies, to a best-selling grilled cheese sandwich.
SPHERE
SPHERE offers ‘a selection of performance and recovery options curated to optimize your training and wellness experience.’
Their private training sessions help with strength, athletic performance, mobility, and physical rehabilitation. Martial arts sessions are also available for those want to learn self-defense while getting a holistic workout.
Recovery options include guided cold plunge sessions for resilience, and mobility-focused exercises to improve your range of motion and prevent injuries.
Cold Plunge SG
