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!

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

Besides the training regime that made me believe weights training is the best way to build muscles to burn fats, I get from Ray and his team i.e. Marvin, J and Hanson is also loads of health tips, correct and effective lifting techniques and encouragement. It is always a joy to see the trainers receiving you like a friend and not just another paying client. It has homely feeling where you are not afraid to keep trying to push your limits with the team behind supporting and encouraging when you fail. There is absolutely no judgment. It is apparent they love what they do and want to help us to be successful in our fitness journeys. I have been a year with Genesis and plan to make them my partner in my fitness journey. My proudest moments would be me fitting into clothes I never thought I could fit in. And still have room to breathe. My pants are so loose now that I could not afford to put my handphone or wallet in the pockets lest they fall off my hips. I also have to cut my belts and the lady assisted commented that I must have lost a lot of weight to have to cut away so much length. One last thing, training at Genesis with Ray taught me that I need to build strong muscles for us to enjoy life more when we grow older. I strongly believe in that. It is more than losing weight. There are far more benefits in weights training than that. This, U get it from Genesis. Saying thanks is not enough because it has been a life changing experience for me.

I have been training at Genesis Gym for a year and I must say it makes me start to like weight training. The coaches are professional, friendly and approachable. I also like the system that everyone is on a tailored programme that fits our own fitness level and goals.

I've never really enjoyed public gyms because I found them too crowded and chaotic, with a lot of waiting time involved. A friend (who also joined the gym when she was overweight) recommended Genesis Gym to me, and so I decided to give it a shot. When I signed up with them, I did not know what to expect. All I knew was that I was overweight, unhealthy, and unhappy, and I needed to change my lifestyle. Thankfully, the trainers there came up with a customised program for me. I had injuries and I was unfit, but I started slow and made progress fast. I lost 5kg in 12 weeks and have grown a lot stronger. My injury doesn't flare up much anymore. I'm grateful for the trainers there who show genuine concern and investment in my progress. They've not just thought me on the mechanics of the gym exercises, but also nutrition tips, so much so that fitness has become a lifestyle for me. The people here advocate for a sustainable routine, and that's what I have in my life right now - you're not going to get crash diets or fad workout routines. All in all, a good gym to go for and the programs work - but you must commit to it.

I progress well under the guidance of the trainers from the Raffles Place branch. No-frills, focused and i get customised programs depending on my fitness goals. Typically the trainer will be there to run through the program in detail for a first session and for subsequent sessions, I can focus doing the sets on my own and asking for assistance when i need, with someone watching my back (literally). Operating model is akin to a semi-PT and compared to other PT sessions that I have gone for previously, I feel empowered and accountable for the loads that i'm carrying and the exercises I'm doing, in exchange for the divided attention. Like all things, just ask for help if needed, nothing too tough about that. I'm giving 4 stars because I have grown stronger with guidance from the trainers and the model works for me.

My husband and I had never used any gym equipment before and were total newbies when it came to any sort of strength training. The coaches at Genesis Gym were extremely friendly and encouraging in making us feel comfortable, and always patiently guided us through new exercises, or gently corrected our form and technique through the different exercises throughout our program. They were also very receptive to feedback, and would find ways to adjust any exercise that I was struggling with and find alternative ways to work the same muscle groups. Besides exercises, Ray also tailored a personal nutrition goal for each of the both of us and would frequently educate us on and suggest lifestyle habits and changes we could make that could help in our overall health journey. Thank you so much to Ray, Jane, Marvin, and Hansen!!

I started off at Genesis Gym - Raffles place with zero experience in weights and PT. 4 months into the programme and I would say I am never looking back. I would totally recommend this place to anyone who is looking to start on their fitness journey; the customized diet and workout plan which will be arranged for you after your body assessment has benefited me in many ways. I was always worried to join such PT gyms as I had no experience but the friendly trainers at Raffles outlet made me feel so welcome and are always ready to guide and assist whenever needed. Also, with their constant monitoring, you can never "slack" on your journey and this is one of the best decision I have made for myself. Thank you to the trainers!! :)

Been training with Genesis Gym for quite some time, quite impressed with how the experienced trainers help you gear towards own short and long term goals in a holistic way through meal planning, personalizing training schedule as well as stress management too. Trainers who are concerned about individuals' well being and often checking in if you up to training after each trainee shared their aches or pain that deter them from training well. Trainers who will help trainees strive and persevere towards trainees' personal goals. Will recommend the gym to first timers because it is a good starting platform with friendly and experienced trainers. And to add on, not only experienced trainers but trainers with very good memory because with so many trainees, they can still remember your names at their fingertips :)

Though coming from a sporting background, fitness had been an area in my life I had neglected for some time due to my hectic and unpredictable schedule. Perhaps like some of you reading this, I also had to deal with gym intimidation - the fear of being embarrassed and not knowing what to do - which put me off from stepping into a gym though I really needed to. Genesis Gym changed everything, through education and empowerment. Closely working with a team of highly professional, knowledgeable, experienced, engaging and relational coaches, through a personalied training program backed by science, I was able to i) build strength (that I never imagined existed!); ii) lose fat; iii) get fitter; and iv) gain confidence. The focus on enablement, to equip you with solid fundamentals, nutrition and correct technique, is what I found most valuable. I would gladly recommend Genesis Gym to anyone who wants results that have power to be life-changing (but remember, results only come with hard work and consistency, not some fad diet or quick-fix "fat loss" program), whether you are new to training or experienced. My time at Genesis Gym has been one of my best personal investments, and I am still reaping the rewards today. Thanks guys!

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.

I have been with Genesis for a few years now and I really appreciate how the workout programs are tailored to my personal progress. I’ve also been surprised may times by how the trainers seem to know my strength and progress better than me, pushing me to work harder than I thought I could manage. I highly recommend Genesis for the proper training methods which are important to prevent injuries.

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!

I have always been relatively active in playing sports but fairly injury prone with multiple knee injuries. Decided to come here for a personalised structured training program for strength and conditioning to have less injuries. As someone who had no prior experience in the gym / weights and find public gyms intimidating, training at Genesis Gym has been a pleasant experience with the friendly team and environment. Big thanks to the team here with Ray who is extremely knowledgeable about fitness and nutrition, as well as Marvin and the rest of the team who are attentive and provide advice, support and encouragement with each session. Although it is a semi-private setting, sufficient attention will be given with a focus on good form and technique. After 6 months, I feel stronger and have more knowledge about working out. Will definitely be back to training here

We were introduced to Genesis Gym Newton by a good friend in June 2023. We have been most motivated by the team in Newton (comprising Ray, Marvin, Iskandar and Henson). They are very encouraging in helping us to achieve our fitness goals. Tangible results were felt quite quickly - we are stronger and have higher endurance level in our brisk walks, run and yoga. Joining Genesis Gym Newton proves to be a very good decision we have made. We are very well looked after by the 4 trainers with individualised training programs & regular tracking of progress. The trainers are fun, competent, professional, encouraging & attentive to details. Great atmosphere in the gym. We have signed up for our 2nd package recently and will continue to enjoy our fitness journey with the help of the team in Genesis Gym Newton. We have already recommended a friend to Genesis Gym Newton and will not hesitate to recommend other friends. TP & PL

Ray and his team are knowledgeable and helpful. Training with them has helped relieve back and neck pain through progressive strength training

I have always been dealing with fatty liver for more than 10 years. I've tried dieting, doing regular cardio exercise but nothing seems sustainable. The result has been fluctuating - sometimes it's not bad, and sometimes it's okay but I have never got a clean result. Upon chat with a few friends, they suggested me to try for strength training. I browsed around, and I came across Genesis Gym via Google Search. I've heard about the gym before and seeing in their website that they trained Xu Xin (Table Tennis player, highest ranking number 1), I immediately scheduled a call. Had a consultation chat with Coach Ray and we went through the fitness goal and what I wanted to achieve. For me it's to get rid of the fatty liver and being strong, lean, etc. is a bonus. At the start of the program, I had my ALT and Gamma GT to be above the threshold. After 9 months into the program, I can proudly say that all the liver markers are now normal. I also lost a few kg's and about 3-4% body fat. I got stronger overall and able to live my daily life well. Overall the program is manageable, and the team of coaches are knowledgeable & they oversee your movements to minimize injury. One of the best decisions I have made with clear results. Thank you so much Coach Ray and team (Coaches: Hansen, Marvin, Iskandar)! Highly recommended!

Was a recontracting client with Genesis Newton because the team there was awesome and saw good results (lost ~5% body fat during my time here) There are also knowledgeable trainers who can help to ensure that you're lifting correctly and avoid injuries.

I am not a gym person and have always refrained from them. However I came across Genesis on social media and really wanted to try them, to work on muscle strengthening. On the very first consultation Ray listened to my needs and concerns, and tailored a programme for me based on that. Since I was not sure if it was my cup of tea, I signed up for a short term programme but by the end of it I was ready to sign for a longer one. From the get go, this place helped me and made me comfortable. The trainers Marvin and J are attentive and take the time to guide you and Ray is always around to address your concerns. I have and will recommend this place to my friends who are considering starting their own fitness journey. Thank you team Genesis @ Newton.

Great place for regular training Design sessions for you and attentive trainers

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!

OK.

Saw myself get stronger, more fit and lose body fat in a short period of time thanks to Genesis Gym. Ray is particularly very knowledgeable on health, nutrition and diet.

The team is professional, friendly & encouraging. It has been very nice working out with the team and seeing my own progress weekly. They pay attention to your form and ensure that you are doing the sets correctly. Special mention to Ash who has been asking about my diet and also showing genuine care and concern about my general wellness. Thanks!

Love training here: a good balance between training at your own pace and the customised personal attention from the trainers.

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.

Very friendly and knowledgeable trainers, who push you to achieve your fitness goals. Great environment and would highly recommend to people who want to pursue a fitness program.

4.5months since joining Genesis Gym at Raffles Place,I have shed about 6kg and 5% body fats thru personal training.  For someone quite senior and with existing joint injuries, I dare say that this is quite an achievement.  Credit goes to my friendly and dedicated trainers - with their guidance and consistent encouragement (plus very helpful dietary advice; keeps me going!

It’s a great gym! Have been with Genesis Raffles Place for several years. I have been with other gyms before and the trainers in those gyms did not understand my limitations and fitness goals. The genesis trainers have been great and understand my limitations. They have given me a personalised training programme that is adequately challenging to help me become fitter. Have certainly become fitter and healthier over the years. Would definitely recommend this gym to others!

Experienced and friendly coaches. Help you to achieve your goal by motivating with professional guidance.

Trained here in 2017 after coming out of a surgery. Training was focussed on rebuilding my strength and I was very satisfied with the results. I'm back with training with them as of 2019. Would recommend others who are looking for personal training at a reasonable price

I’ve been training at Genesis for over a year. What sets them apart is the no frills, no BS environment and coaches who are genuine, knowledgeable, and realistic. You get a clear customised training regime on an app, which is great for tracking progress and if you travel alot for work. There are no promises of fast results. And you get additional support to get through your training journey, such as nutrition and physio stuff. What I like about them most is they coach you towards independence. The other distinction is it’s extremely welcoming to women. You’ll find a non intimidating, gender-neutral training environment, which is something sorely missing from larger gym chains. No strange egos preening in mirrors (cos there are no mirrors), just people going about doing what they signed up for - train.

Great gym if you are serious about results. Coaches are experienced and always there when you need them. Gym is adequately equipped as well.

The Trainers are very knowledgeable. The training programmes are well customised to the individual’s goals. In addition the Trainers are also quite flexible to adjust the programmes in accordance to the members’ physical condition. Will surely recommend to anyone who wants to make a change in their lifestyle to a more healthy one.

Convenient location. Love the coaches there who are always ready to answer any queries and provide guidance :)

Great place for work out, trainers very helpful and knowledgeable . No gym image show offs, pure to the point workout. Workout sessions tailored to each individual and there is a maximum number of people per session so it’s not crowded. Overall nice bunch of guys that drive results.

I dropped 6.35% of my body fat and my waist went down by 8cm within 12 weeks. My weight drop by 6.2 kg. Instructors are patient and take good care to have correct form in every exercise. Highly recommended to join.

Been training with Genesis for over a year now. Trainers there would push me harder than I would push myself and help me to do the workout properly so that I wouldn't injure myself. Thanks Everard, JT & YB.

These guys are a breath of fresh air amidst the sea of glitzy gyms, memberships and packages pushing. Down-to-earth and authentic folks who are truly sincere to help achieve your health goals and turn them into a sustainable lifestyle. They take personal interests in your fitness journey and make a point to follow up. So kudos to the crew here - Everard, JT & YB.

Trainers are very proactive and helpful in facilitating the training program & daily diet. They’ll also take into consideration any past injuries that you have and build a specific program that is effective in achieving your personal goals. (gained 3.5kg in muscle mass in 2 months). If you don’t mind paying a little bit extra for the service that they provide, you may wish to give genesis gym a try.

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.

The trainers are professional and the customized programs work for me. I lost more than 10% body fat in 5 months time.

Been training at Genesis since 2014. I have been extremely pleased with the coaching and supportive environment - was even motivated to do a powerlifting competition in 2019 (thanks Everard!). All I had to do was show up consistently and trust the process. Just as important for a strength gym, no injuries in 5+ years thanks to the coaches' guidance and attention to correct form despite heavy weights. Best part for me is that training has become a joy. 👍Coaches Everard YB & JT!

Genesis gym and all the instructors are just too awesome! I would highly recommend this gym to anyone who is seriouse about seeing results.

Fantastic equipment, professional and knowledgeable coaches.

I was going to work as a doctor but I was in pretty bad shape. I was introduced to genesis gym by my friend and it led to a whole new journey of proper exercise and diet. They went hard on me during gym trainings. (But on hindsight it was a good thing). And Ray gave a proper diet plan too. My weight dropped from 104-100.1kgs and my waist line from 114-110. After 1 month. Now gym and diet have become a lifestyle and they bring so many benefits like having more energy, having a fitter body, less chronic health conditions etc. I would recommend ray and his team and the genesis gym to anyone who is really interested in taking care of their body. They really aim to bring out the best in you.

Since joining Genesis Gym , my fitness level has improved greatly. My main aim was to be able to complete day to day functional activities without pain (I had chronic shoulder pain and would be in pain no matter what exercise I did). I have tried numerous gyms and and cardio workouts but felt I ended up getting “fitter” but not “stronger” (ie. I would still experience a lot of chronic pain). Ray patiently worked with me to create a program to cater to my level and so I could begin to work on strengthening my muscles. He made numerous changes and continuously found variations of each exercise for me so I could work out safely and without pain. His team (Hansen and Marvin) are really patient and helpful each session. My progress was slow at first but Ray was persistent and really encouraging even when I felt like giving up. We worked slowly step by step at identifying and building up the weak muscles. I am now able to do day to day activities with little to no pain. I have a long way to go but am motivated to continue along this path to get stronger! I am really encouraged by the results. Thank you Genesis Gym!

I signed up with Genesis Gym at Newton one year ago. My experience there has been superb. The coaches (Ray, Marvin and Iskandar) have been very encouraging throughout the program. Everyone’s training program is customized to his/her own fitness, progress and objective. The coaches were attentive to your form during each exercise to ensure optimal benefit. In addition, they provide not just physical training coaching but also diet and sleep advice. The holistic approach ensures that you get maximum benefit from the training.
