Gym membership cost in Singapore (2026)

In Singapore, a gym membership typically costs S$45 to about S$400 a month (2026), based on prices published by SAFRA EnergyOne, Fitness First and Virgin Active. Pay-per-visit options start lower: The Gym Pod charges S$6 to S$12 for a 30-minute session. Publications put most 24-hour chains in the middle, at about S$90 to S$180 a month.

How much does a gym membership cost in Singapore?

Most gym memberships in Singapore cost between S$45 and about S$400 a month. Clubhouse gyms for members sit at the low end, 24-hour chains in the middle, and premium clubs with large class timetables and towels included at the high end.

The table below uses prices from the gyms' own websites where we could check them on 15 October 2026. Where we could only find figures in money and lifestyle publications, we say so. None of the pages we checked say whether prices include GST, so ask before you sign.

Virgin Active prices its memberships by the week. Our monthly figures multiply the weekly price by 52 and divide by 12, rounded to the nearest dollar, so treat them as approximate.

What changes the price of a gym membership?

Contract length, how many clubs you can use, the time of day you train and extras such as classes, pools and towels make the biggest difference. Belonging to an association such as SAFRA can also cut the monthly price sharply.

Contract length. Longer commitments usually bring the monthly price down. SAFRA EnergyOne's lowest monthly prices are on 18-month memberships. Virgin Active's Long Termer, at S$69 to S$76 a week, needs a 12- or 24-month minimum, while its Goal Getter plan has only a 12-week minimum but starts higher, from S$92 a week.

One club or all clubs. Fitness First charges from S$200 a month for its Home Club plan (one club, 300+ group classes a month) and from S$225 for Passport, which covers all its clubs and 5,000+ classes a month. Passport holders can also switch on an International Passport for Fitness First clubs in Southeast Asia.

Time of day. At The Gym Pod, a 30-minute session costs S$6 off-peak (11pm to 6am), S$9 at standard times (6am to 5pm) and S$12 at premium times (5pm to 11pm). Prices also vary by outlet, and the app shows the exact price before you book.

How often you go. If you train once a week, Virgin Active's Once-A-Weeker plan costs from S$41 a week for one workout or class, and unused weeks roll over. Pay-per-session gyms can also work out cheaper than a monthly plan for light users.

What's included. SAFRA EnergyOne includes the pool, jacuzzi, steam room, towels and lockers. Fitness First includes towels and workout clothes. Compare these extras when two prices look similar.

Promotions. When we checked, Virgin Active was running a "Rest of Year Half Price" promotion on Long Termer, and SAFRA EnergyOne was offering 50% off its joining fee from 1 October to 31 December 2026.

Are there joining fees, and can you avoid them?

Some gyms charge a joining fee and some don't. Fitness First, Virgin Active and The Gym Pod say they charge none, while SAFRA EnergyOne charges S$95 to S$220 before discounts, with 50% off until 31 December 2026.

Grassroots Club members get 15% off SAFRA EnergyOne memberships, but the People's Association page says they still pay the joining fee. At franchise gyms, ask the specific outlet about joining, admin or keycard charges, because each one can set its own fees.

How long are gym contracts, and can you pay per visit?

The contracts we checked run from 12 weeks to 24 months, but you don't have to sign one. The Gym Pod charges per 30-minute session, and Fitness First's FitPass uses credits with no contract and no monthly fee.

Fitness First's Home Club and Passport plans run on 4- or 12-month contracts, paid monthly or as a lump sum. Virgin Active's minimums are 12 weeks (Once-A-Weeker and Goal Getter) or 12 to 24 months (Long Termer). SAFRA EnergyOne's headline prices are on 18-month memberships, with a 12-month Term All-Day option at S$900.

For pay-as-you-go training, The Gym Pod also sells a 30-day subscription at S$179 with 30 sessions, which adds 20% off extra sessions and 10% off personal training, plus open-gym packages of 10 sessions at S$9.90 each. New users get 50% off their first booking in the app. Fitness First's page lists FitPass at two different per-credit prices, so we show it as price on enquiry: ask the club for the current rate.

Can you use MediSave or insurance to pay for a gym?

None of the gym price pages we checked mention MediSave, so plan to pay from your own pocket. It is still worth checking whether your insurance policy or employer offers any gym benefit or corporate rate before you pay full price.

Ask your HR team whether your company has a corporate rate with a chain near your office, and read your insurer's wellness benefits for any gym discount. Confirm that any discount is still running at the time you sign up, because these arrangements change.

What should you check before paying up front?

Paying a year or more in advance can save money, but it puts more at risk if the gym stops trading. Check what happens to unused months, whether you can freeze or cancel, and how a refund would work.

Gym closures do happen in Singapore, and members on prepaid, multi-year or "lifetime" packages can lose the unused part of what they paid. If a gym goes into liquidation, any claim usually goes through the liquidators rather than the gym. Paying monthly, or choosing a shorter term, limits how much you have at risk. Read the cancellation and freeze terms before signing, and keep copies of your contract and receipts.

Which gyms and published prices did we check?

We list seven gym operators, roughly from lower to higher price. Four have prices checked on their own websites on 15 October 2026. The other three show "Price on enquiry" until we confirm current figures on their official sites.
