Why Bishan is Perfect for Night Owls

Bishan might look like a sleepy family town during the day, but it's actually one of the best spots in Singapore for 24-hour fitness. Six proper gyms stay open all night, which is more than most central areas can claim. The combination of shift workers from nearby hospitals, early-rising professionals heading to the CBD, and university students from the area creates steady demand for odd-hour workouts.

The area sits right on the North-South MRT line (NS17) with Circle Line connections, making it accessible even during the last train rush around midnight. Junction 8 provides late-night food options, and the residential blocks mean you won't feel unsafe walking back to the MRT at 2am. Plus, parking is actually decent here — unlike Orchard or Marina Bay where you'd pay $8 just to work out at midnight.

Most of these gyms cluster around three areas: the HDB blocks near Bishan MRT, the Upper Thomson corridor, and inside community centres. Each serves slightly different crowds, and knowing which one matches your schedule makes all the difference between a great workout and waiting 20 minutes for equipment.

Featured 24-Hour Gyms

Anytime Fitness New Upper Thomson

⭐ 4.8/5 (360 reviews) • $70-100/mo • Upper Thomson

BEST FOR:

Serious lifters who need space and premium equipment at odd hours

NOT IDEAL FOR:

Casual users — the serious crowd can be intimidating for beginners

This is the flagship Anytime location in the area and it shows. Newer equipment, more squat racks, and the kind of crowd that knows what they're doing. Gets properly busy between 5-7am with early risers, but after 8pm it's usually yours. The 360 reviews aren't lying — this place runs well.

24/7 Fitness Bishan CC

⭐ 4.1/5 (252 reviews) • $59-79/mo • Bishan Community Club

BEST FOR:

Budget-conscious members who want 24-hour access without premium prices

NOT IDEAL FOR:

Equipment snobs — the machines are functional but not fancy

The clear winner on price at $59/month, and honestly? The equipment does the job. It's no-frills but clean, and the community centre location means easy parking plus the Kopitiam downstairs for post-workout kopi. Staff coverage is hit-or-miss at 3am, but the crowd self-regulates pretty well.

Anytime Fitness Bishan 227

⭐ 4.9/5 (31 reviews) • $70-100/mo • Block 227 Bishan Street 23

BEST FOR:

Residents of the Bishan HDB blocks who want to walk to the gym

NOT IDEAL FOR:

Anyone driving — parking around here at night is a nightmare

Hidden gem in the basement of Block 227 with probably the friendliest crowd in Bishan. Small but well-maintained, and the 4.9 rating reflects the community vibe. Perfect if you live nearby, but the location makes it inconvenient for anyone else. Gets busy around 6pm when residents finish dinner.

Anytime Fitness Thomson CC

⭐ 5/5 (33 reviews) • $70-100/mo • Upper Thomson Road

BEST FOR:

Perfectionist types who want everything spotless and functional

NOT IDEAL FOR:

Social butterflies — this place runs quiet and serious

Perfect 5/5 rating but only 33 reviews tells the story — small, selective, immaculate. Community centre location means good parking and it's genuinely spotless. The equipment is well-maintained and there's never a queue. Feels more like a private gym that happens to be open 24 hours.

Anytime Fitness Bishan

⭐ 4.3/5 (57 reviews) • $70-100/mo • Block 505 Bishan Street 11

BEST FOR:

Basic workouts without fuss — gets the job done

NOT IDEAL FOR:

Anyone with high expectations — this is the no-frills option

The 4.3 rating is fair — it's adequate but not inspiring. Equipment works, air-con runs, staff are decent when they're around. Consider it the backup option if your preferred gym is packed or closed for maintenance. Located in the void deck so parking is whatever you can find on the street.

Anytime Fitness Marymount CC

⭐ 4/5 (101 reviews) • $70-100/mo • Sin Ming Avenue

BEST FOR:

Residents of the Sin Ming/Thomson area who want community centre perks

NOT IDEAL FOR:

Peak hour warriors — gets crowded when the working crowd hits

Technically Marymount but close enough to include. Solid community centre location with good parking and the usual Anytime setup. The 101 reviews suggest it's established but not exceptional. Dead quiet after 9pm, which is perfect if you're trying to avoid the evening rush.

Insider Tips for Late-Night Workouts in Bishan

The 2am Sweet Spot: Most 24-hour gyms in Bishan hit their emptiest point around 2-3am. If you're doing shift work or can't sleep anyway, this is when you'll have the entire place to yourself. New Upper Thomson is especially peaceful during these hours — no waiting for squat racks or benches.

Junction 8 Late-Night Food: The McDonald's stays open 24 hours, and there's a 7-Eleven for post-workout protein bars. But honestly? The real gem is the zi char stall at the coffee shop near Block 227 — they serve until 3am and do the best wanton mee for night shift workers and gym rats.

Parking Strategy: Community centre gyms like Bishan CC and Thomson CC have proper car parks that don't fill up at night. The HDB void deck locations make you hunt for street parking, which gets tricky after midnight when residents come home.

Safety Reality Check: Bishan is generally safe, but some locations feel more secure than others. The community centre gyms have better lighting and more foot traffic even late at night. If you're a solo female working out at 1am, stick to Bishan CC or Thomson CC over the HDB basement locations.

Equipment Maintenance Windows: Most gyms do their deep cleaning and maintenance between 3-5am when usage drops. New Upper Thomson typically schedules this on Tuesday/Thursday nights, so plan around that if you're a regular 4am gym-goer.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it actually safe to work out alone at 2am in Bishan?

Generally yes, especially at the community centre locations like Bishan CC and Thomson CC which have better lighting and security. The Anytime Fitness locations all have keycard access and security cameras. Just use common sense — tell someone where you're going, park in well-lit areas, and trust your instincts.

Which gyms actually have staff present overnight?

None of them have consistent overnight staffing — that's the trade-off for 24-hour access. 24/7 Fitness Bishan CC sometimes has cleaning staff around 3-4am, and the Anytime Fitness locations rely on their keycard system and emergency contact numbers. If you need human assistance, plan your workouts during staffed hours (typically 6am-10pm).

Can I shower at these gyms during overnight hours?

All the gyms have shower facilities, but hot water availability varies. New Upper Thomson and Thomson CC have the most reliable hot water systems. The HDB void deck locations sometimes have temperature issues during off-peak hours. Bring flip-flops — the shower floors get sketchy when there's no staff around to clean regularly.

What's the actual difference between all these Anytime Fitness locations?

Equipment quality and space size, mainly. New Upper Thomson is the flagship with newer machines and more squat racks. Thomson CC is small but immaculate. Bishan 227 has the friendliest vibe but limited parking. The Block 505 location is adequate but forgettable. Same membership works at all of them though.

How busy do these gyms get during "peak" late-night hours?

The closest thing to peak hours is 10pm-midnight when people finish work/dinner, and 5-7am for early risers. Even then, you're talking about 5-10 people max, not the 50+ you'd see during normal peak hours. New Upper Thomson gets the most traffic but is also the biggest. After midnight, most locations are practically empty.

Are there any hidden costs beyond the monthly membership?

Anytime Fitness charges a $150-200 admin fee upfront, plus annual maintenance fees around $30-50. 24/7 Fitness keeps it simpler with lower upfront costs. Locker rentals are typically $15-25/month if you want one permanently. All of them charge $20 for day passes, which is steep but makes sense for 24-hour access.

Can I bring guests during overnight hours?

Guest policies get stricter during unstaffed hours for obvious security reasons. Most locations require advance registration and charge $15-25 per guest visit. 24/7 Fitness is most flexible about this, while Anytime Fitness locations vary by manager. Don't try to sneak people in — the security cameras and keycard logs make it obvious.

Final Recommendation

For most people, Anytime Fitness New Upper Thomson wins on equipment quality and space, while 24/7 Fitness Bishan CC offers the best value at $59/month. If you live in the HDB blocks, Bishan 227 becomes unbeatable for convenience.

The reality is that Bishan's 24-hour gym scene caters well to shift workers, early risers, and anyone who prefers quiet workouts. None of these places will wow you with luxury, but they're clean, functional, and reliably open when you need them. That's exactly what a good 24-hour gym should be.

My advice? Try day passes at 2-3 locations during your typical workout times before committing to a membership. What feels perfect at 10pm might be completely different at 5am, and you want to know what you're getting into before signing that contract.
