While some of us may live and breathe home workouts, others may struggle to even get going — the inertia is real. Thankfully, Singapore has plenty of virtual workout classes that will get you moving in no time. They are also a great way to support our local fitness community, who have been hit hard by the COVID-19 pandemic.
From yoga to boxing to barre classes, these virtual workouts will help you sweat it out from the comfort of your own home.
Box Office Fitness
Box to the beat (albeit without the bags) with Box Office Fitness’ Home Office. The live zoom workouts pack a real punch, be it the Wildcard or Knockout class. Shadow-boxing not your thing? This studio also offers Fastburn or Cardio and Strength classes, which are HIIT-style classes utilising only your body weight. Even if you can’t stick to the class timings, that’s no excuse because you’ll get access to the post-class recordings — so there’s no reason to miss your workout. 1-week unlimited virtual classes for $10, or drop-in for just $5 a class.
Ritual
Imagine if all it took was 20-minutes a day to get toned abs. Well, perhaps there may be a little more to it than just that. But if we’re talking about a fast and effective workout in the same amount of time to finish a couple of YouTube videos? Then yes, please.
Here at Ritual, the workouts are meticulously designed to capitalise on the afterburn effect, building muscle and burning fat in as short a time as possible. With a new workout everyday, these exercises will keep you going back for more. Who said fitness has to be complicated? Plus, access to the Ritual app is free for 30-days through this offer.
Jyan Yoga
Go ohm with Jyan Yoga’s virtual classes — all you need is a quiet space, your laptop, and your yoga mat. Choose from a selection of different classes: Invert, Stretch, Core, Basic, and more. If doing sun salutations every morning before hopping onto work calls is your thing, you’ll be sure to benefit from its monthly unlimited pass at $128. If not, drop-in for $10 a class, or opt for the weekly unlimited pass at $48.

Haus Athletics
Haus Athletics brings you Haus Live, which offers high-quality, on-demand and live workouts catered to different fitness levels. With a whole library of class types ranging from simple stretching routines to cardio and strength training, you certainly won’t be bored. While it’s not quite as addictive as working out in its stylish studio (unless you’ve got a disco room at home), the infectious energy of the trainers will keep you pushing through those mountain climbers. They currently offer a free trial for your first week, then it’s $10 per week for unlimited classes — $10 well-spent, if you ask us.
WeBarre
Not a fan of high-intensity, fast burn-style workouts? We understand, it’s definitely not for everyone. But we got you covered with another, slower-paced fitness option. With WeBarre On Demand, you’ll be able to get that oh-so-gentle, slow burn from the comforts of your home. Choose the type of workout to your liking, and the intensity depending on how ambitious you’re feeling that day — we won’t judge you if you decide to take a step back! You’ll be able to access the workouts for free for one week, and then it's $35 monthly onwards.
