Why these 3 all-access fitness passes have better value than your gym membership

Launched in April, Guavapass was one of the first to offer all-access fitness passes in Singapore. Currently, members pay $139 a month and receive access to a whole buffet of fitness classes. With more than 65 studios island-wide, you’re bound to find something you like.
For cardio fiends, you can’t go wrong with a spin class at Crucycle — an invigorating 50-minute session with a curated playlist which will leave you wondering whether you’re exercising or partying.
Or if you like, switch up your fitness game with pole classes from Milan Pole Dance Studio that’s bound to give you a rock-solid core with regular training. Unusual offerings include aqua spin or powerplate classes.
While there is a limit of three classes per studio per month, that also means you’re more likely to get out of your comfort zone and try different classes.

The newest kid in town is Passport Asia, a similar fitness model which allows one to gain access to fitness classes. But unlike Guavapass or Kfit which offers a fixed monthly rate, Passport Asia lets you purchase subscriptions for booking classes on demand.
As of now, the cheapest package sells at $59 for four activities per month. Partnering with 300 gyms and studios and growing, Passport Asia also offers classes ranging from yoga to spinning and even bootcamps.
Take your fitness up a notch with parkour lessons at A2 parkour or ADD (Art Du Placement) academy. We’ve also notice they offer laser tag and bubble soccer sessions, which are surely not your typical fitness offerings. For those who are looking for a wider range of activities, Passport Asia’s system does sound like a better idea.
