Anytime Fitness City Hall — Local services in Singapore

Update: Was just there earlier today for a morning workout. I was doing some clean and jerks, and it got a bit heavy so I dropped the bar from overhead. Note that this branch has bumper plates, spin bars, and platforms, i.e. equipment that are well suited for weightlifting. However, right before my last set, a gym staff came over and told me in a displeased manner "Sir, this is not a powerlifting gym", and told me that dumping the bar from overhead was not allowed. While I can understand gym rules (and I complied with it in my final set), the way and manner in which he brought it to my attention was no ideal. Also, there's quite a lot of unpack in his statement. First, I wasn't "powerlifting", I was "weightlifting. A gym staff who doesn't know the difference between the 2 sports doesn't instill a lot of confidence. Secondly, this gym has Eleiko powerlifting competition bars, so if it isn't a "powerlifting gym", i.e. it disallows powerlifting, I wonder why they bothered getting powerlifting equipment?

Minus 2 stars for the bad experience.

This is apparently the biggest AF in Singapore, and while it's big, it wasn't as huge as I expected, and isn't substantially bigger than, say, AF Pasir Panjang. Equipment wise, it's definitely well stocked. There's a warmup area with all kinds of warmup equipment (foam rollers, smfr balls, bands of various thicknesses, plyo boxes, light dumbbells, kettlebells, etc). I didn't take note of the machines too much, but the free weights area is also quite well equipped, with 3 half racks with attached platforms, another 3 full packs, Ziva hybrid bars and bumper plates, and a couple of Eleiko Pl bars. The platforms and bumper plates aren't the usual bouncy Hammer Strength ones, and don't look as new as the gym (maybe used elsewhere before?) but they also don't bounce as much, which helps with the noise. I also didn't see any specific warning against dumping the weights, so that's nice. Crowd wise, it was quite manageable on a Wednesday lunch time around 1 to 3pm. Was able to get the half rack and platform to myself. Shower facilities are also one of the better ones compared to other AF. Overall, a good place to train if...

Stepping into the Anytime Fitness at City Hall is like taking a breath of fresh air. It's not just a gym – it's an experience. The ambiance here is unparalleled, inviting and full of energetic vibes that push you to achieve that extra rep or mile.

When it comes to equipment, let's just say it's evident that quality wasn't compromised. Each machine feels like it's top-notch, catering to every muscle group you want to work on. No more waiting for that one popular machine; they've got you covered!

But, it's not just the machines that make a gym. The heart of this place lies with its staff. I have seldom come across such a friendly and accommodating team, always eager to assist and make your gym experience worth every drop of sweat.

Price? Competitive doesn't even begin to cover it. To all those who're shelling out big bucks at other "big brand" gyms, I have just one thing to say: Do yourself a favour and check out Anytime Fitness City Hall. Your wallet and your muscles will thank you.

Lastly, a massive shoutout to the entire team of Anytime Fitness City Hall - you guys are the real MVPs, making every gym-goer's journey smoother and more enjoyable. Wishing you all the success (and gains)...

Been an AF member for nearly two years, was at a different gym prior and am currently working in the fitness industry. I recently started going to the City Hall gym more regularly.

At peak hours this specific trainer would hog 3 machines/stations for a client and making it inaccessible/inconvenient for other members, and when others would enter the unused stations we would be disallowed even if they weren’t in active use:

1.) laying out the mat in high traffic areas or in front of/next to machines disrupting access, 2) tying resistance bands on machines and not allowing others to use said machine.

My partner has once asked this trainer if he could use a machine (since there was no one on it) to which he begrudgingly said he was using. Again, there was no one on it.

A recent visit on 9/20 (1.20pm) left a bitter feeling after my interaction with this trainer. He was at the purple mat area with the battle ropes laid out, half-bosu and foam roller. I asked if he was still using the bosu ball (at this point he’s coaching his client how to use the battle ropes), and while he handed the half-bosu to my direction he dropped it on the ground before I got a grip on it. It felt like this was a deliberate move because I had entered his space.

The gym is supposed to be a welcoming space for all bodies and individuals. As an AF trainer representing the brand, this is not the kind of environment that I associate with the Anytime...
