Planet Fitness (Great World City)

Hate the ERP? Hate the Orchard Road jam? Well, not to worry! Planet Fitness @ GWC is the perfect solution.

Planet Fitness @ GWC is conveniently situated at such a location that we do not have to drive into Orchard Road, thus avoiding the ERP gantry. It is easily accessible from all directions, regardless if you're coming from Tiong Bahru, from Stevens Road, from Tanglin or from River Valley.

Planet Fitness @ GWC supposedly hold a floor area 2/3 of Planet Fitness @ Suntec, but it does feel alot smaller when I am physically there. However, this gym still offers an enclosed studio without any qualms.

Perhaps it's the smaller space, the machines appear to be closer to one another. Comfortable with a little "intimacy". This is one other gym that I visit because the crowd level seems to be lower. Of all the times I work out in Planet Fitness @ GWC, I hardly see a massive turnout. If you're someone who enjoys working out with lesser eyes on you, this will be the perfect place.

I still visit this gym once in a while, mainly for weights and cardiac workouts. It can be quite boring running on the treadmills because Planet Fitness @ GWC does not boost a fantastic scenery like those of Suntec. Planet Fitness @ GWC also do not have any swimming activities available, which I always enjoyed after each session.

If you think you are missing out on the shopping, fret not! Great World City has some exciting shopping for you to do after your training. Nearby, there is also a hawker centre to offer you a nice dinner. If that's not enough and you crave for some action on the dance-floor, Zouk is less than 300 metres away while Mohd Sultan is 5 minutes drive away.

I would say it's an excellent place if not for some minor details. Tighter space making it feel more cramp, but yet small crowd seems like I can have the entire gym to myself. I'm still feeling sore there is no swimming activities in GWC... haha!

My verdict? Good! If only they could throw in just a little bit more.
