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.
