Blow- Posted May 7, 2015 Report Share Posted May 7, 2015 So my holidays are around the corner and I've been thinking of starting to work out more - I really dislike being in crowded places though (gyms not an exception). Recently everyone seems to be heading to the gym, so I expect them to be crowded most of the time, but are there ever times when they're almost empty? I'm thinking perhaps right after the gym opens, or after the lunch hour, but I'm not too sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sport-coholic Posted May 7, 2015 Report Share Posted May 7, 2015 Of course the best time is when the gym opens in the morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest YU Posted May 7, 2015 Report Share Posted May 7, 2015 Every gym is different. If your gym has a high number of working adults, in the CBD or orchard, it's most crowded in early mornings, lunch and after working hours.If it's clubfitt, it will be filled with kids. But generally, I find around 9am to be the emptiest. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alien Posted May 7, 2015 Report Share Posted May 7, 2015 Depends which gym u go to. Safra gym and town area gym usually shld be empty during the afternoon timing. Those sports council gym is quiet in the late morning. 对自己好是一种幸福， 对别人好是一种积福。 Spend time counting your blessings, not airing your complaints.

hausanzai Posted May 7, 2015 Report Share Posted May 7, 2015 (edited) Worse come to worst, just do your own running at a stadium or on your preferred running. You dont hv to depend on free weights if u know how to do static exercises, those exercises can be done at home.. no money spent at all Edited May 7, 2015 by hausanzai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeannyShortcake Posted May 7, 2015 Report Share Posted May 7, 2015 For 24hr gyms it's usually after midnight. For gyms that usually open in the morning it's at 12 noon where the morning crowd leaves and the afternoon crowd hasn't entered yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluerunner Posted May 8, 2015 Report Share Posted May 8, 2015 In general, gyms are relatively less crowded on weekends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 72%dark Posted May 8, 2015 Report Share Posted May 8, 2015 Different types of gym attract different groups of people (with different schedules), so it depends.For ActiveSG (aka Clubfitt or SSC) gyms, on weekdays, early to mid-morning: retirees and working adults who gym before work; 12 to 1 something: people who gym during their lunch break; mid-afternoon to early evening: students, housewives; 7ish to closing: working adults, students (usually most crowded time of day). On weekends typically more evenly spread throughout the day. Therefore the least crowded times are weekdays late morning, for a short period just after lunch time and a short period in the early evening. And the ActiveSG smartphone app actually allows you to check the realtime occupancy of the gym so you can verify this for yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
navyblue Posted May 8, 2015 Report Share Posted May 8, 2015 Early afternoon, around 12-2pmHow can this timing be empty? Its the most crowded!For 24hr gyms...For gyms that usually open in the morning it's at 12 noon where the morning crowd leaves and the afternoon crowd hasn't entered yet.I said this through my own experience and a number of observation.Similarly for public pools too.

Guest Hot Swimmer Posted May 8, 2015 Report Share Posted May 8, 2015 I realise hotel gym is empty most of the time. Does anyone know is there any hotel gym that opens to the public? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frayne Posted May 10, 2015 Report Share Posted May 10, 2015 (edited) Same here. I hate crowds. I feel that ActiveSG gyms are better on Tues/Thursdays than Mon/Wed/Fri.And weekend near to closing time (7pm-8pm) is tolerable.

azimuth Posted May 10, 2015 Report Share Posted May 10, 2015 For commercial gyms such as California Fitness, Fitness First and True Fitness, I suppose the off peak will be any time other than lunch time and after working hours on weekdays. On weekends, most should be tolerable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blow- Posted May 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2015 Thanks for the feedback guys Sorry, forgot to mention that I'll probably just be heading to public gyms (Clubfitt, etc.), haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkflame Posted May 10, 2015 Report Share Posted May 10, 2015 When I was back for CNY, ActiveSG wasn't too bad in the morning on weekends.Started my routine at 7.40am and was done by 9 plus before heading to swim and done with everything by 11; rest of the afternoon to enjoy!Went to Bedok ActiveSG on weekday evenings - quite small indeed but still could get quite some exercise out compared to other gyms in the Northeast. I'm always running after you. You are my ideal. You are me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
