The buzz: This high-performance gym, located just off Rifle Range Road, is the first-ever simulated altitude training facility in Singapore.
What it offers: The facility is clean, modern, and boasts state-of-the-art equipment, such as a high-tech compressor system that can safely simulate any altitude up to 4,500m. There are also several treadmills and exercise bikes, as well as circuit training equipment like kettlebell sandbags and Bosu balls. Working out here will, quite literally, take your breath away due to the hypoxic environment, but this forces your body to produce more red blood cells, increase your lactic acid threshold, and boost your glycogen and fat metabolism—in short, it’s a legit shortcut to improving your fitness. The instructors, too, are top-notch—many of them are elite athletes themselves, so they really know their stuff.
How much: The Base Camp membership is priced at $160 a month, entitling you to two sessions a week and an initial PT consultation. If you’re looking for something more high-level (pun intended), The Summit membership, which costs $200 a month, lets you enjoy unlimited sessions.
