F
or fitness lovers, there’s nothing
quite as exciting as stepping into
a spanking new gym and getting a
whiff of that “new gym equipment” smell.
It’s like walking into a huge toy store filled
with the latest and trendiest buys in mint
condition. And the recently opened TFX
Funan feels exactly like that.
Perched on level four of the revamped
Funan, the gym spans 15,000 sq ft over
two levels with dedicated areas for cardio,
strength and resistance training. It’s
all about details at this fitness pad. Its
gems include an outdoor pool boasting
gorgeous views of Fort Canning Park, a
member’s lounge with ample charging
points, and changing rooms equipped with
Dyson hairdryers.Gold standard of fitness
Instead of offering a uniform brand of
fitness equipment like most fitness clubs,
TFX Funan boasts an array of best-in-class
machines, such as Ski Ergs, rowers, Life
Fitness IC6 spinning bikes, Naomi training
cube and Rogue Monster Rhino Belt Squat- all designed to make your workout
as seamless as possible. The Matrix
Strength Ultra series, for example, has
an Intelligent Training Console that
accurately tracks your exercise reps and
rest time, so you don’t have to sweat
over the counting.
Weights aside, this fitness
playground offers plenty for functional
training. Besides equipment from
top brands like Ziva and Torque,
small group training classes such as
METCONX, held in the Functional
Training Studio, are designed to help
you build functional strength and
develop muscular endurance in a safe,
motivating space.
Other classes include StrongX, which
focuses on short explosive intervals
with big athletic moves, cardio-intensive
AthleticX for optimal fat-burning, and
RegenX, centred around self myofascial
release and flexibility for recovery.

levels while working out, you can opt to
wear a Myzone heart rate monitor via a
chest strap.
Using wireless and cloud technology,
it displays your real-time training stats
on screens around the gym facility in
easy-to-understand colour codes (red,
yellow, green, blue and grey) based on
the percentage of your maximum heart
rate you are at. This way, you’ll know
when to push harder and when to slow
down for a more effective sweat sesh.
Compared to wrist-worn fitness
trackers, heart rate monitors with chest
straps are proven to be more accurate.
