The best CrossFit boxes and gyms in Singapore

Unlike most gyms, there’s no shortage of congratulatory cheers at CrossFit Mobilus. Yes, the community bond here is strong even when competing for the fastest timing. And MobCon, a 30-minute metabolic conditioning class designed to increase stamina, isn’t any different. The key workout in MobCon is the WOD. It’s a series of exercises set by the trainer that are to be completed within the shortest time possible – and the idea here, surprise, surprise, is to keep trying to beat your previous time. The exercises range from cycling on an Airdyne to barbell deadlifts, and they’re always performed with a partner. Don’t you worry, lone wolves – the camaraderie that grows from performing the WOD as a pair within a group is perhaps the most attractive aspect of CrossFit Mobilus.

Growl and embrace your primal self at the city's only outdoor CrossFit venue. The 'jungle'-like gym is forthcoming with its free trials, so try a 30-minute session to figure out if the programme is suitable for you. Whether you aim to tone up, build muscle, lose weight or compete, its team of pros are dedicated to equipping you with the skills needed to smash your fitness goals. Personal training is also available if you're looking to take your training to the next level, one-on-one style.

CrossFit Hub opened doors to the city's #fitfam in 2010 and remains one of the go-to gyms for CrossFit training. Following the Ben Bergeron's Programme – known for training competitive athletes – its exercises target strength and conditioning of the body.
