At Ground Zero, you’ll get distracted by the futuristic lighting strips on the ceiling that light up to the rhythm and beat of the high energy music thumping throughout the room – but that’s (probably) the point.

Try this Rumble, one of Ground Zero’s popular classes, puts a spin on the traditional boxing class by mixing it up with high-tempo music while hitting all the major muscle groups in its three different class types: Upper Body, Lower Body and Full Body.

Given that one of the first things you see when you step into Uppercut is a boxing ring, you know that this gym is serious about its boxing. It's all about technique, technique, technique at Uppercut – no lacklustre punches will be tolerated here (the instructors will gently and kindly correct you).

Try this There are two class types: Undercard for the beginners that's heavily focused on technique, shadow boxing, footwork and some partner work, and Overthrow for those with some boxing experience. The latter is a 50-minute class with 12 rounds split between the bags and strength floor work.

Price Trial series starts from $50 for two classes and Distance series starts from $45 for one class.

Boom Singapore has a catchy hashtag #boompowthisisyournow and it's very appropriate for what they do in the 'boom room'. The brainchild of fitness enthusiasts Bryan Tay and Victoria Martin, Boom Singapore offers a combo of boxing and functional training. 

Try this BoomBox, its signature 45-minute workout, is a 10-round cardio and resistance workout that alternates between aqua bag work and functional weight/bodyweight training – no two sessions are ever exactly the same.
