Choosing a workout program can feel like a big commitment. Not only is price a factor, but it’s also important to find something that’s going to keep you motivated long-term.
Should you join a local studio that gets you out of the house, or opt for online workouts you can do from the comfort of your air-conditioned apartment? Is now the perfect time to finally try boxing, or should you stick to those trusty HIIT classes? The good news is, thanks to innovative, local fitness brand CRU, you no longer have to make those difficult decisions.

With CRU’s extensive lineup of online and IRL classes, you can have it all and never get bored of your workouts. Loved by celebrities including Hailey Beiber, the Kardashians, and Usher, the brand first started as a rhythm cycling gym in Los Angeles.
After experiencing the next-level energy of a CRU workout, exercise enthusiasts Valerie, Calvin, and Bebe Ding knew they had to bring it to their home country of Singapore. The siblings launched the first studio in Southeast Asia back in 2014 and since then, it’s become an iconic fixture in Lion City.
CRU has evolved beyond rhythm cycling to also offer boxing, HIIT, and yoga classes, both on its app and in the studio. The common thread that ties all its offerings together is music — each class is choreographed in time to an upbeat playlist, which has been expertly curated by CRU’s Pack Leaders (its instructors).

With plenty of on-demand classes available, the CRU app is the perfect way to sneak in a workout, anytime and anywhere. At just S$49 per month (after your seven-day free trial), there are limitless options to keep your fitness regime fresh. For committed members of the wolfpack, you can also transform even the smallest space into an immersive home studio with the state-of-the-art CRUTV bike.
However, to truly experience the CRU difference, nothing beats an in-person session. Held in a dark room with flashing lights and pumping music, the space feels more like a nightclub than a gym. With the Singapore studio hosting a huge fitness event from October 2 to 15 to celebrate its ninth birthday, now is the perfect opportunity to see what it’s all about.

The birthday celebrations will see CRU bring in two of the world’s biggest cycling superstars, Kristina Girod and Gabriel Seibel, as guest instructors. Plus, there will be plenty of fun, themed classes, and goodie bags on offer (featuring freebies from Lemon8, Geneco, cheak, noodfood, and more).
