Genesis Gym

The trainers at Genesis Gym are knowledgeable and they are not afraid to push your limits because they know you can. This is what I appreciate about them as they are constantly improving you and you will be amazed at how strong you can actually can. Moreover they will go the extra mile by planning your diet, making sure you will still enjoy what you are eating within your calories count. This team will ensure that your regime is sustainable, and enjoyable while goals are achievable. Totally recommended.

Going to the gym can be quite intimidating at times, especially when I was newbie six months ago! However, that has changed after joining Genesis Raffles. Coaches are caring and at the same time knowledgeable in all aspects of fitness/nutrition. I felt that I was always in good hands in every single training session. I would definitely recommend this gym to my friends / family!

Have been training at Genesis Newton (formerly Raffles Place) Fitness (and lifting) is for life and the coaches at Genesis sure are the embodiment of that. Apart from coaching on form and technique in the gym, I also learnt about the importance of proper diet, hydration, training blocks and rest. I also like that both coaches and members at Genesis are serious about fitness. In just a few month’s of training, I have seen great progress in my form for the big 3 lifts and also got stronger. Special mention to Everard for his wealth of knowledge in powerlifting techniques, to Ray for living up to his reputation as the God of pullups, and looking forward to get to know Anthony better :D - May

I shun extended membership plans as I never feel I can commit to a regular regime for the long term. But two months into my programme and I am prepared to commit for the long haul. The trainers tailor the programme according to my goals, customise workouts to work around injuries or abilities, and put health and safety first. They are knowledgeable, and are concerned more about form than the numbers. The workout regime has helped me in my tennis and in keeping up with my daughter. Highly recommend this gym.

Genesis has been a good place to start my fitness journey- for someone who didn’t have any experience with PT, weights etc. Although it is a group setting, sufficient attention will be given. The coaches were friendly and patient, knowing when to push you harder. I have managed to lose 6kg and 7% body fat in 9 months. Very appreciative of Genesis advice and help!

I was referred to Genesis from my mom who had taken a SMU health course with the founder, Jonathan. I’m based overseas and was only in town for 3 months, so I signed up for a 12 session program. During my consultation, I was helped by Ray, who gave me an introduction to their program structure of exercise and diet planning. Then I had a weigh-in and took measurements. My goal was gain upper body strength, since I had no weight goal, Ray assured that I could maintain my weight and gain muscle. Ray used my phone to take before photos for my reference. For my first few sessions, I was guided by Jay, who showed me how to execute each exercise and checked my form. She was very helpful and encouraging. Each session took about 2 hours including a quick warm up. By the 6th session, I felt confident enough to do the routine by myself. Another staff, Marvin, would also make his help people around the gym whenever he wasn’t busy attending to a client. I appreciate their timely, attentive, and upbeat service. They created a positive environment where I didn’t feel intimidated or judged. Every 2-3 sessions, Ray checks in on my log sheet to see where I can increase my weights and (feasibly) push my limits—thank you for believing in my potential as I smile through the pain *insert happy cry emoji* On the 9th session, I had a weigh-in, measurement, and goal checkin: since I was maintaining my weight, I had small improvements measurements-wise, but was so happy to hear that I’d gained 1kg of muscle! Despite the short time I had, I felt leaner and lighter, and could see the difference in my before and after photos. I’ve learned enough to continue the fitness journey on my own for diet and workout flow. I thoroughly enjoyed my experience and definitely go back to Genesis whenever I’m in town. I would recommend Genesis to anyone who wants to start their fitness journey Thank you so much, Ray, Jay, and Marvin!

The experience is amazing. I actually planned for 1 year to work with the team to get from fat to fit. But sadly I have to return to China for work. Kind of sucks. However, after 2-3 months of training with them, I have cultivated a habit of hitting the gym for three times a week. The program that they have for me is very customised, so I feel comfortable to continue following the program for at least maintenance. Eating habit and my first experience with supplements is incredible. I feel very assured and confident that I am not randomly testing medication and diet plans to see what fits. I rose from level 0 to level 1 in this case. Back to the trainers at genesis, they are all well verse in what to eat, how to train, what to do when I strain certain part of my body and best of all, correcting my form when I am lifting weights. In my situations, I am working out while not in form and I am accumulating the stress on my muscles. It was to an extend that I wasn't progressing. The trainers checked my form and when I voice out, they have solutions. Where can I get such a support from a group of trainers? I believe genesis is the one. Hope to come back to train in the gym soon after my work in china is done. Big thanks to Ray, Marvin, Jean and Felix. I hope I spelled the names right. Lol See you guys soon. To anyone reading this and thinking if you should try it out, see the environment, have a chat with Ray and you will have a better feeling if you should or not.

Over the past 1.5 years, training at Genesis with Ray has really changed my attitude towards fitness. Whereas in the past going to the gym was the only part of my health/fitness "regime", Ray has helped me build it into a lifestyle - exercise, rest, diet, sleep. What I truly benefited from my time here was that the programs were designed with my long-term well-being in mind - it was about making realistic, progressive adjustments to my lifestyle, rather than chase after huge and immediate changes that were unattainable and most likely unsustainable. While I did lose almost 5% body fat - not something to scream about - I feel much healthier (and not tired from crazy diets) and have more confidence to carry on my fitness journey on my own knowing that I have picked up the foundational knowledge and the right habits. Kudos to Ray and the Genesis team!
