How we chose: desk math. Gym prices from the Gyms.sg directory. TRX price from amazon.sg on 1 Sep 2026.

A TRX PRO3 at S$405.18 is one gym-year of a cheap commercial membership, paid once. It wins if you will train at home four days a week and you do not need a squat rack. It loses if you want heavy barbell work, classes, or air-con at 7pm.

The Split

Buy TRX You skip the commute and you will use the door
Buy a gym You squat, you like classes, or home is noisy

The money

TRX PRO3: S$405.18 once. No monthly. You still need a door or a park bar.

ActiveSG: far cheaper per month if you go. You share equipment and you travel.

A mid-range commercial gym in Singapore is often S$80 to S$180 a month. Twelve months at S$100 is S$1,200. TRX is paid off in about four months against that, if you actually drop the membership. Most people do not. They keep the gym and the straps rot in a drawer. Only buy the PRO3 if the gym is already gone from the calendar.

What TRX cannot replace

A loaded barbell squat. A true deadlift. A cold plunge. A spin class. Those live in a gym or they do not happen. If that is your sport, open the gym directory and ignore this page. If your sport is rows, push-ups, and legs that do not need 140kg, the straps are the gym.
