4 Best Gym Memberships in Singapore (2026): Cheapest to Premium, Every Price Compared From $2.50 a Visit

ActiveSG, run by Sport Singapore, is the cheapest by a wide margin. Membership itself is free for Singapore citizens and PRs, and you can simply pay as you go: $2.50 per gym entry for adults and $1.50 for students and senior citizens (the standard non-citizen rate is $3.30). If you go often, the MyActiveGYM pass gives unrestricted access at $30 a month, $160 for six months or $300 a year for adults, and $18 a month for students and seniors. There's also an off-peak pass, usable Monday to Friday from opening until 4pm, at just $15 a month for adults or $9 for students and seniors. Swimming is charged separately, with pool entry at $1.50 for adults on weekdays ($0.80 for children and seniors) and an unlimited MyActiveSWIM pass at $10 a month. Facilities are functional rather than fancy, but for basic weights and cardio it's unbeatable value. Rates are published on the ActiveSG Circle website, so check there before you go.

It spans a very wide range. At the budget end, ActiveSG is $30 a month for unrestricted access (or $15 off-peak). Anytime Fitness is a franchise, so each of its 160 gyms sets its own rate and quotes it directly rather than publishing a single national price, so you'll need to ask the outlet you want to join, and rates commonly differ between heartland and CBD locations. Fitness First publishes its rates: Home Club is from $200 a month for unlimited access to one club, and Passport is from $225 a month across all 14, both with a zero joining fee on a 4 or 12 month commitment. Its FITPASS alternative carries no monthly dues at all, but is sold as prepaid credits at $35 to $55 each, one credit per visit or class. At the premium end, Virgin Active publishes its rates by the week: Once-A-Weeker from $41 a week, Long Termer $69–$76 a week and Goal Getter from $92 a week, with no joining fee on any plan, roughly $178 to $399 a month. True Fitness used to fill the gap between ActiveSG and Fitness First at $165 to $190 a month, but it closed all its Singapore clubs on 10 September 2026, so there is now no mid-priced national chain in this guide. As a rule of thumb: budget under $30, Fitness First $200 to $225, and Virgin Active up to about $400. Always get the full contract length and any joining fee in writing before you sign.

Anytime Fitness, comfortably. Its own website puts it at 160 gyms in Singapore, part of a global network of 6,000+ clubs, which means there is very likely one within walking distance of your home or office. All outlets run on the brand's 24/7 key-fob model, so you can train at 2am or before a 6am shift, and your membership works at other Anytime Fitness clubs including overseas ones, handy if you travel. The trade-off is that equipment ranges are functional rather than extensive and the gyms are usually staffed only during limited office hours, so you won't always have someone on hand. ActiveSG is second on outlet count with around 30 gyms, but those follow normal facility opening hours rather than 24/7. Anytime Fitness offers a free trial, so try the specific branch you'd join, since quality and crowding vary between franchisees.

Anytime Fitness does not publish one national price, and since its Singapore site moved to anytimefitness.com its club pages print none at all: each of its 160 franchised gyms quotes its own rate after a visit or an enquiry form. The last rate card we saw online, on 19 September 2026 on the handful of old club pages that still sold memberships, was $138 a month on a 6-month contract, $118 on 12 months and $108 on 18 months, plus a $95 joining fee and a $95 key fob fee, so treat that as a guide rather than a quote. Its promotion terms also list separate student (full-time, up to 25), senior (55 and above) and Purple Heroes rates for healthcare, uniformed, social service and community care staff, and our [24/7 gyms guide](/article/best-24-7-gyms-singapore-2026) prices those out. Use the free day pass first, then ask two nearby clubs to quote against each other.

It depends entirely on the contract you sign, which is why the commitment period matters more than the monthly price. Most private chains sell fixed-term contracts. Virgin Active's plans run from a 12-week minimum (Once-A-Weeker and Goal Getter) up to 12 or 24 months (Long Termer), and cancelling early usually means paying out the remaining term. Freezes for travel, injury or medical reasons are often allowed but typically capped at a set number of months and sometimes carry a small admin fee, so ask for the freeze policy in writing before signing. Look for the lower-risk options if you're unsure: Fitness First offers a FITPASS with no monthly fees and no commitment period, though it is prepaid at $35 to $55 a credit rather than cheap, plus a 7-day money-back guarantee on online sign-ups, and ActiveSG's pay-per-entry model has no contract at all, so you simply stop turning up. Whatever you pick, read the cancellation clause and note whether notice must be given in writing and how many weeks ahead.

They solve different problems, so the honest answer depends on when and where you train. Anytime Fitness wins on access: 160 gyms islandwide against Fitness First's 14, and a true 24/7 key-fob model, so if you train at 5am, after midnight, or want one gym near home and another near work, it's the only realistic pick of the two. Fitness First wins on the gym itself: bigger club footprints, a deeper free-weights and functional-training floor, a full group-class timetable and personal trainers on site, concentrated in CBD and mall locations like Bugis Junction, Capital Tower, Paragon and Westgate. On price they now differ in transparency: Anytime Fitness is a franchise, so each club quotes its own rate and nothing is published nationally, while Fitness First publishes $200 a month for one club and $225 for all 14, with no joining fee. Fitness First also runs the more aggressive joining promotions, currently up to 3 months free if you join before 31 Oct 2026. Rule of thumb: pick Anytime Fitness for convenience and odd hours, Fitness First for equipment, classes and coaching. Both offer a trial, so try the specific branch before you commit.

Only ActiveSG sells a genuine walk-in visit: $2.50 for an adult citizen or PR, $1.50 for students and senior citizens, and $3.30 at the standard non-resident rate, with no membership needed. The private chains do not publish a casual day rate at all. What they offer instead is a one-off free trial: Anytime Fitness a free one-day pass for new customers who are Singapore residents aged 18 and over, Fitness First a complimentary one-day gym pass redeemable at any of its 14 clubs, Virgin Active a trial pass valid at any of its five clubs for first-time guests with valid ID. Those are one-time visits, not something you can repeat weekly. The closest thing to a paid drop-in at a private chain is Fitness First's FITPASS, which is prepaid credits at one credit per gym visit or class: $55 a credit on the 5-credit pack, $50 on 10, $45 on 20, $40 on 30 and $35 on the 50-credit pack, with validity running from 45 days to a year. So a single private-gym visit realistically costs $35 to $55 against ActiveSG's $2.50, which is why occasional gym-goers are almost always better off at ActiveSG.

Virgin Active now publishes its rates by the week rather than quoting only after a club tour. There are three plans: Once-A-Weeker from $41 a week, which covers one in-club workout or class a week with unused sessions rolling over and a 12-week minimum commitment; Long Termer at $69–$76 a week for unlimited club and class access on a 12- or 24-month commitment; and Goal Getter from $92 a week for unlimited access on a 12-week minimum. Roughly translated to monthly, that's about $178 for Once-A-Weeker, $299–$329 for Long Termer and around $399 for Goal Getter. There is no joining fee on any plan, every membership includes access to all five Singapore clubs plus one free coaching session and unlimited on-demand workouts, and reciprocal rights cover 200+ clubs worldwide. The current promotion is 50% off the Long Termer plan for the rest of 2026 when you sign up now. That makes it several times the cost of ActiveSG and, at the top end, almost double Fitness First. What you're paying for is the pools, hydrotherapy spa and the Restore recovery zone.

No. On 10 September 2026, True Fitness Pte Ltd and True Yoga Pte Ltd were placed under provisional liquidation, with Goh Wee Teck and Lin Yueh Hung of RSM SG Corporate Advisory appointed as provisional liquidators, and the group's roughly 10 True Fitness, TFX and Yoga Edition centres in Singapore have closed. That includes the three True Fitness clubs at Djitsun Mall @AMK, Income @Tampines Junction and Velocity @Novena Square. Extraordinary general meetings on 7 October 2026 will propose a creditors' voluntary winding-up. Members who paid in advance are unsecured creditors, so stop any recurring payments, keep your contract and receipts, and speak to your card issuer; our True Fitness closure guide walks through the steps. If you want a similar class-led gym, Fitness First is the closest replacement here (from $200 a month, zero joining fee, up to 3 months free if you join before 31 Oct 2026), and ActiveSG is the cheapest stopgap at $2.50 an entry.
