To stay fighting fit in the ring, Singapore gyms need new workout regimes
Recent gym closures indicate that the post-pandemic fallout is not over. As more players fight for a smaller slice of the fitness pie, new models are needed
RITUAL Gym’s closure of its four branches in Singapore last week sent shockwaves through the fitness community.
The home-grown brand had been around since 2013, and was an established player in the high-intensity interval training (HIIT) space.
Yet, industry watchers should have seen it coming. The local fitness sector has been plagued by closures. Among them were boutique gyms Fenix Fitness, Haus Athletics, boOm and UFC Gym.
