Ballerinas might not be the most ripped people you'll ever see, but there's no denying that they're some of the fittest you'll ever meet. To master a dance as challenging yet as graceful as ballet, one needs to be physically fit to even attempt it. This is where Ballet Fit comes in. This gym doesn't just teach you the art form but also uses it as a way to exercise as well. In no time, your core will be as toned and as strong as a ballerina's!

Rowing is also another activity that will keep you fit and healthy. Though here in Club Row, you won't actually row an actual boat. Or at least, not always. What you will do here instead is to exercise in rowing machines until you're so tired, your arms and legs turn to jelly. That's basically it. But don't think it's that worthwhile. The gym really is like a club—you row with like-minded people, all to maintain your fitness and to keep healthy!

If you're more into a relaxing exercise, look no further than Eastwood. At first glance, this may seem like a spa but it's not that, exactly. It's still a standard gym, popular for its spinning classes and cardio machines to get your blood pumping. However, it's also their meditation rooms that have garnered quite the attention. In-between more active exercises, you can go for a five-minute rest to also exercise your mind. You'll find that you actually need it as much as physical workouts.
