Vivafit, a market-leading women’s gym from Europe, is getting ready to open the doors of its first Singapore franchise in Tanjong Pagar Plaza on Monday. Having led over 40,000 women worldwide to lose weight, Vivafit is now set to help Singaporean women get fit and develop healthy habits in bite-size 30-minute express workouts.
Cecile Jamoulle-Ogren, General Manager and Master Franchisee, Vivafit Singapore said: “Like a lot of women out there, I have always dreaded going to the gym and always had an excuse for not going. The Vivafit concept is amazing because it takes away all those excuses and makes it easy and enjoyable to get in shape. Our workouts are great for women of all ages and all fitness levels. They are also designed to fit with the busiest of schedules. We offer a complete fitness package in a friendly and welcoming environment.”
Vivafit offers members a fun and fast way to get fit and lose weight. At the core of the programme is a 30-mintue circuit made up of 20 stations combining hydraulic machines and recovery platforms designed to deliver a total body workout. Because the circuit is short, a workout is easy to squeeze in before work or on a lunch break. Gym-goers also can jump in at any time which means that members can set their own schedules. In addition to the circuit, Vivafit offers customized 35-minute group exercise classes designed by Les Mills, a world leader in group fitness programmes. The group exercise classes – Bodyvive, Bodybalance and Pilates – will feature new choreography, routines and music every three months to keep classes fresh.
Not only concerned with the effort members put in at the gym, Vivafit offers a total fitness solution. Members will have access to health tips, nutritional advice and recipes dished out by trainers in the gym and on the company’s Facebook page.
Vivafit memberships are designed to replace the need for a personal trainer at a fraction of the cost. On joining, members are asked to set fitness goals and Vivafit trainers work with each member to achieve these over time. Because membership is limited at each outlet, Viviafit is a place where everyone not only knows your name but also your fitness goals. Trainers at the gym know members so well that they are able to offer personal instruction and encouragement to everyone throughout circuit training and other classes.
To ensure that members stay on track towards achieving their health and fitness dreams, Vivafit will track each woman’s progress month on month. If that’s not enough to get you to the gym, you can expect to get a reminder call from your friendly Vivafit representative if you skip out on exercise for ten consecutive days.
More than just a gym, Vivafit will also encourage its members to get to know one another through social events outside of the outlets. Creating a community around each fitness club will mean that members are guaranteed to see friendly faces every time they head for a workout and they will encourage each other to work towards fitness goals. All of this is delivered in a safe and non-judgmental haven where you won’t find any men or even mirrors for that matter.
With plans to open 25 franchises in the next three years and 100 by 2020, Vivafit will soon be wherever you are whenever you need a fitness friend.

185-year-old Republic of Singapore Yacht Club is getting a facelift to catch the growing wave of Singaporeans owning boats and of foreign owners docking their superyachts here.
The core of $6m is devoted to increasing the accommodation for members, their guests and visitng yachstmen. Another $3m will go towards almost trippling the number of dry berths to 300, to accommodate boats up to 12m long. Work will start this month and take about six months. It is now full house at the 110 dry berths at the club, which also has 127 wet berths for bigger boats.
There are more than 3,200 boats registered here and given the buoyant economy this is expected to grow by 5 per cent per year. RSYC Commodore Tan Kay Toh said boat owners at this club were "more-to-earth, middle-class Singaporeans" and added that a boat could cost less than a luxury car. As people here become affluent, more will look to buying boats. A boat provides a good versatile option for leisure and it is something the whole family could enjoy.
The Superyacht Singapore Association expects the number of superyachts visiting Singapore to jump from 81 last year to 130 this year. By 2015, it expects 200 arrivals.
At OptionsStudio theyprovide Pilates sessions in a quiet but convenient setting.
Pilates exercise focuses on the deep stabilizing muscles of the torso, hips, and shoulder girdle and helps develop long, lean, functionally strong muscles without bulk. This can improve your flexibility, strength and mobility, restoring balance to your body. These deep muscles help change and improve your posture and enable you to move with ease and feel more energetic.
Pilates is a fun and safe type of exercise that can be used by everyone from the sedentary to the super fit. And best of all, because it builds your body awareness and feeling of control, you'll feel the benefits of Pilates in every aspect of your life!
Joseph Pilates, founder and creator of the Pilates Method claimed: "In 10 sessions you will feel the difference, in 20 sessions you will see the difference and in 30 sessions you will have a new body". Once your postural muscles are strong your whole body will work more effectively. You can apply the principles of Pilates in your everyday life, from your other sporting activities to sitting at the desk in the office.
At OptionsStudio they teach the Stott Pilates method as it is a contemporary approach to Pilates taking into account the modern knowledge we have of how the body works. Classes are kept small for more personal attention from the instructor so you can be guided and helped as much as necessary
So what are you waiting for! If you want to feel energized, toned and focused, join them for Stott Pilates and Gyrotonic classes at their newly opened studio.
