Bikram Yoga City Hall, the first authorized Bikram Yoga studio in Singapore, provides a calm, relaxing and clean environment for people from all walks of lives to learn and grow through the regular practice of Bikram Yoga. They are also pleased to announce that they will be revealing a brand new studio on March 19 2012.
They are there to support and encourage you and cheer you on with their humorous classes as you experience positive changes the Bikram way. The honest hard work of a consistent Bikram Yoga practice unifies the body, mind and soul.
This is a place where you can dedicate time for yourself, relax your mind and restore your strength. It is the place to help you rediscover your potential and renew faith in yourself.
Trust the process and enjoy your practice! The intelligence of any posture sequence determines the overall benefits of yoga practice. Bikram’s Beginning Yoga Class, the original hot yoga, is a series of 26 postures with 2 breathing exercises practised in a room heated to 105ºF (40ºC) in 90 minutes. Each posture in the sequence is designed to safely stretch and open the body in preparation for the next posture.
The Bikram Method stimulates the organs, glands and nerves and systematically moves fresh, oxygenated blood to 100 percent of the body. It restores all systems to a healthy working order, just as nature intended. Bikram Choudhury used modern medical measurement and research to scientifically design this specific sequence of the 90-minute program. In recognition of the unique nature of this posture sequence, the U.S. Trademark Office has issued a Trade Mark registration for Bikram Yoga.
Physically accessible to people of all ages, fitness levels and conditions, Bikram Yoga leads to increased mental clarity and ultimate relaxation for practitioners by building a strong physical and mental foundation. “Never too bad, never too late, never too old, never too sick to start experiencing the most scientifically designed, therapeutic yoga routine.” ~ Bikram Choudhury.

Pasir Ris Sports and Recreation Centre (SRC), Singapore Sports Council's (SSC) newest addition to its family of 21 SRCs, features a comprehensive range of sports facilities with a diverse retail mix to provide an all rounded experience for guests.
Pasir Ris Sports and Recreation Centre has well integrated sports and lifestyle facilities. Their residents can now enjoy a sporting and healthy lifestyle while relaxing and building bonds with family and friends. Their residents have long wanted such a centre in Pasir Ris, and are all delighted at these wonderful new facilities.
The SRC offers modern sports facilities which are refreshingly different from conventional types, such as a swimming complex with water play features and a Jacuzzi, a gymnasium with pool view, an air-conditioned sports hall with seating capacity for 2,000 spectators, and a 5-a-side soccer court. A wide variety of lifestyle amenities is also offered at this SRC ranging from sporting apparel shops and F&B outlets, to a child education centre and 24-hour convenience store.
Pasir Ris Swimming Complex has recorded an average monthly attendance of more than 20,000 visitors, while its ClubFITT Gymnasium attracted an average of 11,000 visitors per month.
Pasir Ris SRC is also thoughtfully designed to be user-friendly for all. Braille markings and tactile warning strips are provided where necessary to guide the visually-impaired. In addition, a ramp is provided for wheelchair users to gain access to the pools while slip-resistant tiles are used at the pool decks and for all wet areas. In addition, Pasir Ris SRC is the first of its kind as an 'eco-friendly' sports complex, adding on to Singapore's recently earned accolade as Asia's greenest metropolis based on the Asian Green City index. Surrounded by nature, Pasir Ris SRC adopts a 'sports in a park' concept and blends seamlessly with the neighbouring town park without dividing fences.
The SRC is designed with environmentally friendly and energy-saving features such as a rainwater-harvesting system to irrigate surrounding plants, vertical 'green' walls and landscaping to reduce ambient heat gained, and photo-voltaic cells for energy generation.
Pasir Ris SRC will be the first SRC in Singapore specially designed to give guests the feeling of being in a 'green' sporting sanctuary right in the middle of the town centre. Not only does the new SRC make for an enjoyable environment for residents, the design helps limit our carbon footprint. Adding to the 'green' mood at the Pasir Ris SRC official opening, nine trees were planted at the side entrance of the SRC by DPM Teo, Acting Minister Chan, MPs for Pasir Ris-Punggol GRC and Punggol East SMC.
SSC is also aiming for Pasir Ris SRC to attain the Building and Construction Authority's Green Mark platinum award, the highest accolade given to environmentally friendly buildings in Singapore.
Pasir Ris Sports and Recreation Centre (SRC) spans over 1.4 hectares in size and comprises facilities including a swimming complex with two pools, a multi-purpose indoor sports hall with a viewing gallery for 2,000 spectators, a gymnasium with pool view, two tennis courts, a 5-a-side soccer court, and a dance studio. It is designed as a place for play and relaxation and is the first SRC in Singapore that is specially designed to give guests the feeling of being in a 'green' sporting sanctuary right in the middle of the town centre.
The SRC is designed with environmentally friendly and energy-saving features such as a rainwater-harvesting system to irrigate surrounding plants, vertical 'green' walls and landscaping to reduce ambient heat gained, and photo-voltaic cells for energy generation.
Thrive, the first gym opened by MetaPhysic Fitness, is located in the Tiong Bahru area, about a minute by foot from Tiong Bahru Market.
MetaPhysic Fitness was borne out of a rejection of conventional fitness dogma, that often focuses solely on aesthetic appeal. Instead, they choose to train the body to function as a unit, as it functions in daily life, and in most sports, as it is supposed to function. They focus on natural human movement patterns. They train to improve movement efficiency, fitness levels, strength levels, and overall health. More than anything, they train to improve the quality of one’s life in general.
MetaPhysic Fitness is not a new method of training. They didn’t invent anything revolutionary or groundbreaking, nor will they ever try to make that claim. They just subscribe to training methods that have been largely forgotten in the mess created by the globo-gyms of today. They first identify imbalances and work to correct them. They believe in pain-free before fat-free, and in strength that matters before strength for show. Instead of shallowly focusing on fat loss and muscle gain, they choose to focus on training the body in the ways it is supposed to be trained, in ways where fat loss and lean muscle growth is inevitable, anyway.
Also important to them is providing a safe environment to train in, where egos are left at the door, where you don’t have to worry about, be turned off by, or be intimidated by the big bloated guy grunting and yelling for attention as he does bicep curls, or the unhealthily thin model-wannabe on the elliptical who looks at you with judging eyes. To them, health is holistic, not just physical, and people like that are not good for your health.
Don’t get them wrong, they like when people push so hard they grunt and groan, and they like training good-looking people – It is the attitude that is commonly seen at commercial gyms that they don’t agree with. Ultimately, they hope to inspire the pursuit of mastery of your own body, beyond physical appeal, however small or large your chosen version of mastery is. They believe that if they help you focus on this, your physique and health will have no choice but to improve, and you’ll have no choice but to enjoy your life more.
They believe that the human body is supposed to move freely, so that’s how they train. They believe in science and research, so they constantly keep up-to-date. In general, they correct imbalances, train all 3 fitness-related energy systems (similar to how an athlete trains), and use a variety of tools and methods to get it done in a fun and challenging way. Expect to squat, lunge, swing, toss, twist, throw, jump, lift, press, push, pull, row, run, thrust, drag, heave, haul, sprint, hop, skip, snatch, jerk, stretch, rotate, stabilize, bend, resist, slam, and grip...among other things!
Tools they like to use include: barbells, dumbbells, kettlebells, sandbags, climbing rope, thick rope, heavy rope, sleds, plates, suspension trainers, kickboxing/martial arts basics, pulling bars, resistance bands, macebells, swinging clubs, bodyweight movements, sandbells, weight vests, medicine balls, and plyometric boxes.
Standing at 8 metres high, 15 metres long and 7 metres wide, a total of 28 climbing lanes (routes changed frequently) await you. Using the latest technology from T-Wall, this gym was built from scratch using the Triax system.
Triax is more than just an inexpensive alternative to art cliff climbing panels; various multi angled climbing faces that normal artificial climbing panels cannot offer can be created. This is also the greatest highlight of Climbers Laboratory. Triax consists of several times glued panels, which are endowed with a special coating that is very functional for climbing. This coating is highly abrasion resistant and can be tuned to the desired roughness.
Dirt resistance as well as durability are attained with the surface quality. The climbing surfaces are coloured and size of the granulation easily selectable. This uniquely designed wall has mounting options for 30 holds per square metre and offers huge variations of hold attachment possibilities. This gives the route setter much more options to choose from as compared to a conventional climbing wall.
T-Wall pays attention to optically responding architecture with unique elements. All elements of Triax are planned computer-assisted and manufactured in precision down to the exact millimetre. They are therefore firmly installed, ensuring stability. Conformity to safety is what we always ensure even as we play with fancy hold attachments and climbing routes.
