Genesis Gym - 865 Mountbatten Rd

I 100% recommended the Katong Genesis team. I turned up out of shape and they very gently but determinedly got me and my body moving. They are a low-key, highly professional team - whatever your age or level of fitness, you’ll fit in. This isn’t a place to go to be seen (no one will care if you’re wearing the latest Lululemon). It’s a place where you can safely get stronger and fitter, surrounded by staff who know what they are doing and who make everyone feel welcome.

This gym is the go-to place for anyone who is serious about improving their physical fitness. Everyone in the gym is warm and are genuinely concerned about you. They are constantly checking up on your progress and would guide you if they spot any mistakes. Their friendliness makes the gym trip much more enjoyable! I have seen results in just a few sessions with them. Thanks everyone in the Genesis Team!

Genesis Gym at Katong is a well equipped gym with ample space and facilities for clients who are looking for a motivational and friendly environment to train. Jonathan the founder of Genesis and his team of trainers definitely has the knowledge and experience to curate personalised fitness plans for people of all walks of life. Highly recommend!

To be very frank, this is my first time enjoying my visits to the gym, and especially to this one! The atmosphere feels warm, and all coaches are motivating and they genuinely care about your progress. They’re always checking in on your progress, your nutrition and lifestyle habits, and are always willing to share more about things. It is indeed a very well-rounded and holistic experience. I definitely recommend Genesis Gym to anyone who wants to improve their overall strength and health, especially the ladies. The coaches here will definitely help you to achieve your goals!

After a few years of disregarding my fitness, I had decided to make a conscious effort to rebuild my fitness. Signing up with Genesis Gym was a decision I never regretted. Three months into the training; I had shed a few kilos off and most importantly, I learnt how to lead a healthier lifestyle. My special thanks to Jen, Ashraf, Felix and many of the other trainers at Katong gym for their unconditional coaching and motivation to anyone who is training at the gym. Their support to each and every member is the reason why the weekly training is something that we look forward to coming for each week!

I signed up for a Personal Training (PT) package with Genesis. First impression was that the trainers (notably Jen and Felix) were friendly and approachable. The gym also had nice, lively vibes to it. I was asked to download a “Genesis” app which outlined which exercises were to be done during a particular session. The first two sessions were great, as the trainers really paid a lot of attention to you. After the second session, you’re pretty much on your own, as you try to navigate the app and go through the exercises on your own, including setting up the weight-lifting equipment, recording your progress, etc which was confusing for me. Although the trainers seemed approachable, they needed to attend to multiple trainees/customers simultaneously. (There isn’t any fixed trainer assigned to you, thus they needed to rotate). One session after another, week after week, I could not help but feel that I didn’t seem to be fully enjoying the benefits of having a « Personal  »Trainer, since it did not feel too different from a normal, non-PT gym membership. Another incident that has prompted me to write this review is that I actually sustained a rotator cuff injury (also known as shoulder impingement. See my other Google review about me consulting a Sports Injury physician) from lifting the dumbbells whose weights were constantly being added, despite the fact I already informed the trainer that I could not cope with the added weight. Nevertheless, the purpose of my review is not disparage the establishment; just wanted to share my own personal experience and highlight the fact that Genesis’ trainers work on a “rotating basis” which may not be suitable for newbies who require lots of personalised guidance and attention.

I have recently attended and completed the rehab course with Jonathan and I have to say that it is an eye opener. He have taught me a lot in the span of just 6 weeks from Warm up to muscle testing to injury rehabilitation and prevention to stress management (this is super helpful) to nutrition (I learn how to better manage the diet for my clients through some modification which is very powerful) to the importance and power of our talents, gift and personality. This course is definitely for everyone, not just coaches. Just come with an open mind and learn what you can because u can always go back to refer to the slides later on. Focus on enjoying the process and learning more about yourself and your friends who are there with you. That way you will learn better and receive much more from the course. If you just want to know how to lead a higher quality of life, come and learn how to do that with Jonathan. It's a great start to better health!

Genesis Performance is well equipped as a gym. More importantly, Jen and his coaches are warm and friendly. They are helpful, knowledgeable and professionally motivating, attentive to details in their instructions. I will strongly recommend any to be trained here. Thank-you Jen and all for making my training a most pleasant and rewarding experience.
