5 places to go for personal training in Singapore
Athleaders – personal trainers at home or in the gym
Too busy to hit the gym but ready to finally see results? Ranked number one on multiple platforms for personal training in Singapore, Athleaders has a team of certified personal trainers who bring fitness straight to your home.
For a similar price to hiring a single personal trainer elsewhere, clients here receive support from an entire team, making it great bang for your buck. Athleaders’ programme includes access to a dedicated dietitian who provides customised meal plans and daily guidance. And all at no additional cost! Plus, an Accountability Coach tracks each client’s progress and checks in regularly to help maintain momentum.
Research also shows that clients save an average of nine hours per month simply by cutting out the commute. That’s nearly a full workday back every month. So you can have more time for rest, recovery or finally ticking off that to-do list.
A word from a client on losing weight and training with Athleaders
It’s been two years since I started with Athleaders, and the transformation has been life changing. I’ve lost 22kg and dropped 11 percent body fat. I was severely overweight, but their holistic approach was exactly what I needed. The team of expert trainers, dietitians and accountability coaches work together to keep me on track, every step of the way. I’ve worked with many fitness trainers before, but nothing has come close to the professionalism I’ve experienced with Athleaders. – Radhika R

StringsSG – flexible one-to-one training wherever you are
StringsSG makes personal training convenient, affordable and results-driven by bringing certified personal trainers straight to your condo gym, home or a favourite outdoor spot across Singapore. It offers one-to-one personal training, buddy training and corporate wellness programmes. Every client is also carefully matched to a trainer based on their fitness goals, experience and preferred coaching style.
Every fitness journey starts with a comprehensive health and fitness assessment. This is followed by a personalised workout programme and customised diet guidance designed to support fat loss, muscle gain or overall health improvement. From there, trainers continually fine-tune recommendations to help clients stay on track and achieve sustainable results. Unlike many providers, StringsSG employs all its fitness trainers rather than relying on freelancers. This ensures consistent coaching standards, structured programmes and accountability throughout the fitness journey.
This is backed by the StringsSG app. There, clients can manage workout schedules, view training plans, log completed workouts, track body measurements, upload progress photos and monitor their results in one convenient place. They can even communicate with their trainer via the in-app chat or contact the WhatsApp support team whenever they need guidance, motivation or answers to questions. It’s a great way to help them stay committed between sessions.
With transparent pricing published online and an efficient, technology-driven operating model, StringsSG offers professional personal training at approximately 30 to 40 percent below typical market rates. This makes expert coaching more accessible without compromising on quality. Whether you’re just starting your fitness journey to lose weight or working towards a specific goal, you’ll find the structure, expertise and support to help with achieving lasting results.
A word from a client on these at-home personal trainers in Singapore

Michelle Lavergne – a women’s health and strength coach
Short on time? Michelle Lavergne is a women’s health and strength coach in Singapore with more than 15 years of experience. She works with women in their midlife years, including those in perimenopause and menopause. The focus is simple: build strength, reduce stress and eat in a way that supports energy and sleep.
Strength sessions are quick enough to finish before the school run or between meetings, and the plans rely on the basics done well. “Clients learn to lift with confidence without chasing size, and the food guidance fits a real kitchen and a real calendar,” says Michelle.
The “Stronger You” method combines personal training with steady support, so you always know what to do next. The results go beyond losing weight. Clients have reported calmer days, better sleep and visible strength gains within as little as eight weeks.
A word from a client
I have had the privilege of working with Michelle as a wellness coach. Her professionalism and expertise truly set her apart from typical personal trainers. She has a deep understanding of the unique needs of middle-aged women, and her approach to body transformation goes far beyond physical fitness. Michelle is also highly knowledgeable about the physiological and mental challenges that women in this stage of life face. And she excels at aligning expectations with realistic goals.
What makes her exceptional is her ability to create sustainable, long-term programmes that focus on improving quality of life, not just achieving short-term fitness goals. For any woman looking to improve her health and wellbeing, Michelle is an invaluable partner in that journey. – Dani Bogoricin

It was a very good experience using Lalang Life’s personalised matching service to find a PT for our duo training package. Karyn was detailed and prompt in her communications with me. I liked the flexibility of letting us try out one session first before deciding to sign up for the package. – Ms ZH Huang
I’m grateful to Karyn for matching my parents-in-law with Jiamin, who has been a great personal trainer for them. Jiamin has been patient and encouraging, catering to their needs.
