Crossfit isn’t exactly a new phenomenon in Malaysia. In fact, it has been around since the late 2000s with the majority of centres specialising in Crossfit popping up in the last 5 years. What sets Crossfit Vidatha aside from the competition is their various programmes catered for kids all the way up to seniors and everyone in between. Crossfit consists of constantly varied movements at high intensity, with the key lying in functional movements like rowing, climbing, lifting and throwing. Crossfit Vidatha is known to have the best rowing machines of 2018 among their inventory. You won’t find any traditional gym equipment here.

Crossfit Vidatha is located at A1-UG1-06, Solaris Dutamas.

Don’t expect to have your feet on the ground here at Viva Verticle. That’s cause they specialise in pole dancing, which is fast shaking the stigma that it’s only for strippers. In fact, pole builds strong core muscles, improves upper body strength and includes cardio all in one medium of exercise. Besides pole, Viva Verticle also offers Aerial Hoop and Aerial Silk classes as well as Burlesque dancing! Classes vary in difficulty for all levels.

4. Flyproject
Formerly known as Flycycle, Flyproject has since expended its programmes from purely focusing on spin classes to include rhythmic boxing, yoga and HIIT workout. While their expended programmes are still very fresh, the 45-minute spin classes offered by Flyproject have quickly become the talk of the town due to their fun, encouraging environment and motivated instructors (who also provide the perfect eye candy for both men, and women). Look out for Flyproject to explode in the coming year with their new additions to the programmes and instructors.

5. Camp 5 Climbing Studio
Spider-Man isn’t the only wall-crawler in the world. If you don’t believe me, head over to Camp 5 and you’ll be amazed at the number of wall-crawlers running lose. Wall climbing requires a lot of upper body strength and encourages wise decision making as one misstep could leave you flying off the wall (If this sounds scary, don’t worry as you are safely hooked to a safety harness operated by their accredited and experienced instructors.) Don’t forget to visit Camp 5 the next time you’re satisfying your inner shopaholic at 1 Utama for a fun and sweaty time.

Camp 5 is located at the 5th Floor, 1 Utama Shopping Centre.
