Homeground Gym Balestier is a 24/7 gym at 60 Kim Keat Road, billed as the only fully equipped 24-hour gym in the Balestier area. What makes it unusual for a neighbourhood gym is that it brings three things under one roof: round-the-clock training access, personal coaching, and a dedicated recovery zone with an infrared sauna and cold plunge. The gym spans roughly 2,000 sq ft and holds more than 35 machines alongside free weights, with reviews repeatedly noting the brand-new equipment, tasteful lighting, cleanliness and well-thought-out shower facilities.
Coaching is a core part of the offering. Head coach Jaiya brings over 15 years of hands-on experience, from rehabilitation to high-performance athletic conditioning, and is backed by trainers Veronica, Ethan, Celine and Travis — each with their own specialities, from senior and beginner strength to powerlifting and HYROX racing. New clients can start with a free 30-minute consultation to talk through their goals before committing to anything.
The recovery zone is the branch's first-ever recovery amenity within the Homeground network. One-hour sessions combine the cold plunge and infrared sauna, aimed at reducing soreness, speeding up recovery and improving sleep and overall well-being — amenities reviewers describe as a genuine game changer at this price point of gym.
The gym holds a 5.0 rating on Google, where members highlight the friendly staff, the welcoming culture and founder Kenneth's habit of remembering members by name. Whampoa Food Centre is within walking distance, and day or week passes let visitors try the gym with no commitment.
Tucked into the ground floor of Kim Keat House at 60 Kim Keat Road, Homeground Gym Balestier has quickly made a name for itself as the only fully equipped 24/7 gym in the Balestier area — and, unusually for a neighbourhood gym, it pairs round-the-clock training access with personal coaching and a proper recovery zone under one roof. The pitch is simple: train hard, recover faster, repeat.
The gym spans roughly 2,000 sq ft and holds more than 35 machines alongside a full free-weights area. Members often mention that the equipment is brand new and that real attention has been paid to the details — lighting, cleanliness and well-thought-out shower facilities all come up repeatedly in Google reviews, where the gym holds a 5.0 rating. Because access runs 24/7, members can train whenever it suits them, and the floor is set up so there are no wait times for equipment.
Personal training is a core part of what Homeground Balestier does, at what it describes as the most competitive PT rates in Balestier. The team is led by head coach Jaiya, who brings more than 15 years of hands-on coaching experience — everything from rehabilitation to high-performance athletic conditioning — and certifications including ACE personal training, IKF kettlebell Level 1 and TRX suspension training. Reviews single him out for tailoring advice to each person's build rather than dishing out one-size-fits-all programmes.
Around him is a team of accredited trainers with complementary strengths. Veronica specialises in helping women over 40, seniors and beginners build strength safely, with an emphasis on form, joint safety and functional movement. Ethan comes from a powerlifting and rugby background and placed first in the Men's Pro 16–24 age group at HYROX Singapore 2024. Celine adds sports massage therapy, STOTT Pilates Reformer and barre to her coaching, while Travis focuses on strength, functional fitness and weight management. New clients can start with a free 30-minute consultation over WhatsApp to talk through their goals before committing to anything.
For those who want a structured path, the gym runs a '90 Days to a Healthy Body' system built on three pillars: science-based training that is adjusted as you progress, data-driven nutrition that works with your lifestyle, and habit-building for long-term sustainability. Its transformation stories feature ordinary clients — busy professionals, executives and mothers — including a 10kg weight loss, a 13% drop in body fat and a waist reduction of more than eight inches on structured programmes.
What sets this branch apart locally is its dedicated recovery zone — the first-ever recovery amenities introduced in the Homeground network. A cold plunge and an infrared sauna sit in-house, bookable as one-hour sessions on their own or in bundles. The cold plunge is pitched at reducing muscle soreness and inflammation, speeding up post-workout recovery and building mental resilience, while the infrared sauna targets muscle relaxation, circulation, sweating-supported detoxification and better sleep. Reviewers describe the ice bath and sauna combination as a genuine game changer — the kind of amenity you don't often find in a neighbourhood gym.
Reviews consistently mention the people. Staff are described as welcoming while still giving members space to do their own thing, and founder Kenneth is known for taking a personal interest in members' goals — and remembering their names. There's a real workout culture forming, first-timers say they feel comfortable from day one, and the floor draws everyone from HYROX athletes to complete beginners on their first-ever gym membership.
Homeground Gym Balestier is at #01-02 Kim Keat House, 60 Kim Keat Road, in Singapore's Novena area. Whampoa Food Centre is within walking distance — handy for a post-training meal.
