Do I need to be fit or have experience before joining?

Absolutely not. This is the biggest misconception about our gym. You don't train to get ready for the gym; you come to the gym to get ready for life. We work with everyone from complete beginners to professional athletes. Leave your ego at the door, and you'll fit right in.

Do I need to book a slot, or can I walk in?

We recommend booking your slot via our contact page on our website or WhatsApp to ensure a trainer is available to assist you, especially for your first visit.

What should I expect during my first consultation?

We will provide a breakdown of our training methodologies and programming at The Pit. Following this, we will conduct a movement assessment and conclude with a discussion on how we can work toward your fitness goals with an overview of your personally tailored programme.

Is there parking available?

Yes, there is a public carpark at 111 Somerset, right opposite our gym. Alternatively, you can park at Orchard Gateway and take a 5 minute walk to our gym.

How does The Pit support its members?

Members benefit from a supportive community that fosters camaraderie, support, and lasting friendships, creating the perfect environment for transforming into the best version of yourself.

What is the difference between The Pit and a commercial gym?

We prioritise coaching quality and privacy over volume. We focus on sustainable, long-term health rather than quick transformations or grind culture.

Do you offer open gym memberships?

No. The Pit is an appointment-only facility. This ensures you never have to wait for equipment and maintains a respectful, efficient environment.

Experienced Personal Trainers in Singapore

A good personal trainer does more than count repetitions. At The PIT, our trainers take the time to understand how you move, what you want to achieve and what may be holding you back.

Every programme is designed around your training experience, movement ability, injury history and long-term goals. Your trainer will coach your technique, track your progress and adjust your programme as you become stronger.

Led by founder and head coach Irving Henson, our team has coached people of different ages and abilities since 2011. This includes complete beginners, people returning after injury and experienced athletes working towards new performance goals.

Sustainable Weight Loss

Gareth Lost Nearly 40kg—and Built a Routine That Lasted

Gareth came to The PIT in 2016 weighing 142kg. Years of sedentary, high-stress work had affected his strength, fitness and overall health. He did not need another extreme programme—he needed an approach he could sustain.

Through progressive strength training, technical coaching and consistent lifestyle changes, Gareth lost nearly 40kg. More importantly, he became stronger, fitter and made training a permanent part of his life.

“You bring the discipline, and they bring everything else.”

Strength After Spinal Surgery

Ross Went from a Ruptured Disc to Completing an Ironman

After rupturing a slipped disc, Ross underwent spinal surgery in 2017. His first goal was not athletic performance—it was to regain movement, rebuild strength and manage his pain safely.

The PIT helped Ross rebuild his posterior chain, restore mobility and return to training through a structured strength programme. He progressed from hoping to get back on his bike to completing an Ironman event.

Weight Loss and Lasting Accountability

Peter Lost 40kg—and Continued Training Across the World

Peter joined The PIT in 2017 at age 42 and weighing 130kg. Managing fatherhood, lifestyle changes and declining fitness, he needed a structured system rather than another short-term solution.

Personalised strength training, nutrition education and consistent progress tracking helped Peter lose around 40kg. After returning to the United States, he continued training remotely with The PIT, maintaining the accountability he had built in Singapore.
