Welcome back. If you missed Part 1, that's where I broke down what ClassPass is, how the credit system works, and whether it's worth the money in principle. This post is the receipts: five actual sessions I did in Singapore on my trial credits, what each cost, and what each was like.
In total I went for 5 sessions and spent 34 credits. The breakdown: 2 open-gym entry sessions and 3 instructor-led classes (Circuit, Spin, Muay Thai). Instructor-led classes cost more credits than open gym, which makes sense once you're inside them.
Let's go.
1. Circuit Class at Speed Fitness
Cost: 7 credits
Speed Fitness's 8am Circuit Class is tucked away in Horsecity, a 10-minute stroll from Sixth Avenue MRT. For drivers, free parking is available 5-10 minutes away from Horsecity. Click here for directions.
Under Coach Yong's guidance, our group of 8 navigated through 8 stations. Before class, Coach Yong set up each station and detailed the exercises on a whiteboard. The workout was an every minute on the minute (EMOM) circuit, weaving through intense exercises with preset rest intervals. Coach Yong balanced pushing us to our limits while keeping the class safe, and he took time to explain advanced moves and correct postures along the way.
One heads-up: Speed Fitness doesn't have shower facilities or towels. Bring your own towel and a change of clothes.

2. Spin Class at XYCO Studio
Cost: 10 credits
Nestled along Martin Road, a ten-minute walk from Great World MRT, XYCO is a spin studio in the middle of Singapore's CBD. This was my debut spin class in the Lion City, so nerves were high.
Small confession: I was slightly late for the class (don't do that). The XYCO crew still welcomed me in. Pro tip: don't forget your socks; you need them for the shoes XYCO provides.
Instructor Valerie kept tabs on my first-ever spin escapade while running the class. Moves were beginner-friendly, so I didn't feel lost, and the playlist was a serious motivator. Post-class, showers and towels are on deck for the sweaty. There's also a chill outdoor space perfect for a post-spin coffee.
For public transport, factor in 10-15 minutes to walk from Great World, Havelock, or Fort Canning MRT.

3. Gym Session at Hybrid Fitness
Cost: 5 credits
Hybrid Fitness sits on the 5th floor of Orchard Shopping Centre, right next to 313 and beside Mandarin Gallery. It's directly in front of the lift, so you can't miss it.
Coach Chris warmly greeted me even mid-lunch (sorry Coach Chris), and gave me a brief orientation on layout and equipment placement even though I was just doing an open gym session. Small space, but the equipment layout gives members enough room to move and manoeuvre. Hybrid clearly runs plenty of personal training sessions alongside independent workouts, which creates a dynamic vibe.

4. Gym Session at Platinum Fitness
Cost: 5 credits
Platinum Fitness has three locations: Robertson Quay, Tanglin Mall, and OUE Downtown. I visited the Tanglin Mall branch. The first thing that hit me was the ambience: brightly lit, energising, the kind of space that fuels workout motivation instantly.
Check-in was a quick online waiver form. All necessary equipment and facilities were readily accessible. Efficient capacity management meant I never had to wait for what I needed. The branch is tucked in a corner of level 2, so keep your eyes peeled once you're there. Overall, a clean, sleek, minimalist environment.

5. Muay Thai Session at Ghetto Fitness
Cost: 7 credits
My last ClassPass free trial adventure was a Muay Thai session at Jalan Besar. Walking in felt like stepping into a warm, familiar haven where everyone shared an unspoken camaraderie. Coach Shaun led us through a collective grind: 50 sit-ups together set the tone, because those who suffer together stay together.
Ghetto Fitness is a stress-busting sanctuary if you want intense. The pad-work and bag-work pushed us to our limits, especially the closer of 100 kicks per leg on the heavy bag.
Heads-up for heavy-bag fighters: they only have 3 heavy bags, so if you love bag work specifically, availability can get tight. That said, everyone in the class (myself included) was utterly spent afterward, most of us barely able to lift off the mats.

Conclusion
My ClassPass trial week was genuinely delightful. It gave me the chance to try a diverse range of activities and to explore new sessions under qualified instructors I would not have found on my own.
Now that the trial is over, I've started looking at alternatives to keep the momentum going in Singapore. One option worth mentioning is Vibefam, a boutique-studio-focused aggregator that offers single-session bookings without commitment. Vibefam's flexibility is the differentiator: no credit packages, no expiration dates, you just pay for the classes you actually attend. And classes on average come out cheaper per session than what I paid on ClassPass credits, especially at popular studios.
If you missed Part 1 of this review, that's where the credit-system economics live.
