Puppies, ponies and Pilates: I tried some of Singapore’s most unconventional fitness classes

Fitness is evolving as exercise turns experiential. In a bid to break away from traditional gym routines, CNA Lifestyle tried some unconventional fitness classes in Singapore. Among them was a unique Pilates session with puppies and ponies, where participants were tasked with maintaining balance and focus while interacting with the adorable animals. Another class featured yoga with cats, where the feline companions were meant to provide a calming and soothing atmosphere. These unorthodox fitness classes are part of a broader shift towards experiential fitness, where the goal is not just physical exercise but also emotional and social connection. As people look for new ways to stay active and engaged, such unconventional fitness classes are likely to gain popularity, offering a refreshing alternative to traditional gym workouts.
