FREEDOM YOGA AMOY STREET
39 Amoy Street
Compared to its sky-high Cecil Street outlet, Freedom Yoga’s third studio finds itself nestled on the ground floor of a shophouse unit in the hip Amoy district. This cosy outfit has just one studio that fits no more than 15 mats. Those hoping to take their arm balances and inversions to another level will love their new class, Float, where you’ll learn to transition between balancing poses seamlessly. Finding wholesome post-yoga nosh will be easy thanks to its convenient location – minutes from healthy eateries like Aloha Poke and A Poke Theory.

F45 TANJONG PAGAR
#01-02/03 ABI Plaza, 11 Keppel Road
Fans of F45’s intensive circuit training classes now have a new spacious playground to take their sweat sessions to. For the uninitiated, the F stands for Functional, while 45 represents the length of one workout – i.e. 45 minutes. Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays are typically cardio-focused, while even days are dedicated to strength and resistance-building.
While there could be as many as 18 stations scattered around the gym, screens with looping demos of each exercise, a countdown timer and super motivational trainers ensure you’re never lost in the motion. And with the extensive variety of exercises and equipment used – from suspension training straps to sandbags, it’s pretty impossible to get bored of workouts here.
