is AF Bugis worth the hype??😨 2 storey gym in town

hi gymrats! we’re back on our mission/ crazy date idea to explore singapore’s 90+ Anytime Fitness gyms~ 😸👫 we’ve been seeing lots of tiktoks on AF Bugis and decided to drop by to check it out!

💡 Managed by the same team behind AF Orchard, Buona Vista, Geylang Bahru, Bukit Timah Central and Bedok85, we were pretty excited about this outlet bc of our positive experience with their other outlets so far!

📍LOCATION

• Anytime Fitness Bugis

• The gym is 5 mins walk away from Bugis MRT station so it’s pretty accessible!

• Need to take the lift up to 3rd/4th floor (or u happy happy want do cardio can climb stairs also.. but for us.. no thx..)

• What’s around? Bugis Junction, NLB, Haji Lane, CHIJMES, Duo Galleria, Waterloo, Sunshine Plaza

• Food: We had no idea the gym was so close to the YY Kafei Dian (which is all over tiktok) for breakfast! For halal options i’d recommend Tipo Pasta Bar for lunch/ dinner near Bugis junction. There’s also Freshio Gelato at Sunshine Plaza if you want a treat after hehe

🤔 FIRST IMPRESSIONS

• Sleek gym with full-black machines

• Gym smells really fresh (lemongrass scent 🍋)

• Great ambience with neon purple lighting, cute signages and music is v ✨vibes✨

• Friendly gym staff, it wasn’t very busy so we chatted with them for a while!

• The gym is split into 2 floors - L3 has your cardio, machines, free weights and functional area

• L4 is majority free weights and machines

🛀 LOCKERS & WASHROOMS

• X1 male and female washroom on each floor

• Each washroom only had 1 small cubicle, had to queue during peak hours 😴

• Showers avail with dyson hairdryer!

• Cleanliness: Washrooms were clean and fresh!! Loved the lemongrass scent everywhere

• Locker area is right outside the washrooms but kinda narrow, will definitely need to queue during peak hours

⏰ PEAK HOURS

• Weekdays 6pm - 9pm

• We went on a Friday and it was pretty quiet from 3pm - 6pm!

• Office crowd starts trickling in near 5.30pm

✅ OTHER INFO

• Classes (HIIT, Piloxing, Muay Thai, Aerial & Hatha Yoga)

• PT sessions here are provided by Reformd trainers + Private PT room on 4th floor

• Vending machines

• Dyson hairdryers

• Since there’s 2 floors you have to bring your key fob around to access the other floor! or risk getting locked out 😵‍💫

• Watercoolers on each floor 💦

• Gym demographic mainly consists of youths/ young adults

💬FINAL THOUGHTS

• AF Bugis is definitely one of the must-visit outlets if you haven’t been there yet

• 7 squat racks + 4 DL platforms + extra barbells + BB jack + 25kg plates = BB & PL heaven

• Although the 2 floors may seem like a downside, we appreciate how they planned it out nicely so that each floor has washrooms, lockers, functional areas, DBs and you can squat/ DL, minimising the need to go up and down between the 2 floors 👍

• Hip thrust machine is placed facing the wall, which is very thoughtful 🥹💖

• It may get squeezy during peak hours, but given the equipment and ambience, we’d say it’s worth it! If you’re in the area, highly recommend you to check it out

• Worth the hype? YES! ☝️🗣️🗣️
