The Gym Pod offers smart, private, and on-demand gym spaces, perfect for gym users who are looking for privacy or don’t like to share equipment.
Based in Singapore, The Gym Pod’s popularity grew in 2020 throughout the Covid lockdowns when normal gyms were closed due to the risk of infection. The start-up now operates 55 micro-gym locations across the city. Some are housed in shipping containers, while others are nestled in smaller storefronts or shopping centre units. Sessions can be booked via a mobile app, with personal trainer appointments available for a personalised workout experience.
While prices are relatively high compared to a regular gym membership, the concept handily addresses one of the main issues faced by gym novices – workout anxiety. Feeling inadequate or out of place in a gym environment puts many people off visiting regularly, so the privacy afforded by Gym Pods is a major draw.
Each Gym Pod location is equipped with high-quality fitness equipment and is accessible 24/7. The start-up is now reportedly eyeing the US market as it looks to expand.
