Overview

Personal Training · Raffles Place / Singapore CBD

Most Raffles Place offices sit within a six-minute walk of Manulife Tower. Cross Street links Raffles Place directly into Telok Ayer, and from the office tower exits at One Raffles Place, OUE Bayfront, Marina One, or 6 Battery Road, our studio is closer than most of the gyms in your own building.

We're at 8 Cross Street, #05-03 Manulife Tower, on Level 5 of Manulife Tower. The Telok Ayer MRT (DT18) station is literally beneath the building, and Raffles Place (NS26/EW14) is a covered six-minute walk via Cross Street and Battery Road. Tanjong Pagar (EW15) is a similar five minutes the other direction. The location was chosen specifically so CBD professionals from any of the three MRT clusters could fit a session into a workday without losing 90 minutes to commuting.

Every client starts with the Catalyst Healthspan Assessment. Sixty minutes in studio, four pillars measured (Body Composition, Cardiorespiratory Fitness, Stability, Strength). The Healthspan Report is yours to keep, free of charge. From there, the programme is built off the data, never a generic template.

How we do it

6 min walk · Raffles Place MRT

Cross Street links Raffles Place directly into Telok Ayer. Six covered minutes through OUE Downtown Gallery and Robinson Road. Useful even in the wettest Singapore monsoon.

Above Telok Ayer MRT (DT18)

The DT18 station is literally beneath Manulife Tower. Direct lift access from the platform up to our floor. Zero outdoor walking on the Downtown Line.

5 min walk · Tanjong Pagar MRT

Tanjong Pagar (EW15) is a five-minute walk via Cross Street the other direction. If your office is around Anson Road, Wallich Street, or Guoco Tower, we're an easy detour either way.

Same-floor parking

Manulife Tower carpark with direct access to Level 5, same floor as our studio. No ground-floor lift transfers, no walking through a lobby in workout gear.

Lunchtime + pre-work friendly

60-minute sessions, appointment-only. Most members train 6-8am or 12-1pm and are showered and back at their desk within 90 minutes. Hours: Mon-Fri 6am-8pm, Sat-Sun 8am-2pm. As a private studio, sessions outside listed hours are possible by appointment.

Train, shower, walk to your meeting

Hot showers stocked with branded soap and shampoo. Bath towels and small towels provided. Climate-controlled training floor. Filtered water (still, cold, sparkling). Walk back to your office or meeting in fresh clothes.

Why Catalyst

The shortest reliable commute on the MRT line you already use

Adherence to training has a direct relationship with how easy it is to show up. The data is consistent across studies: people who train within ten minutes of their home or office show up roughly 40% more consistently than people who travel 25+ minutes. Catalyst's location is part of the product. Telok Ayer below, Raffles Place six minutes away, Tanjong Pagar five minutes away. Whatever your CBD office is, you have a 1:1 personal training studio in walking distance.

Built for the work the Raffles Place crowd actually does

We work with banking and finance directors, partners at the law firms around Cecil Street, senior people at the Big Four, and analysts who don't always know whether they're going home tonight. The programme is built around schedules that don't bend. Sessions are use-when-you-can; packages don't expire on a subscription clock. A week pulled into a deal close doesn't cost you a week of training.

Programmes are grounded in your data, not a marketing tier

Body composition, cardiorespiratory fitness, stability, and strength, your Y-Balance score, your grip-strength percentile, your Skeletal Muscle Index, your Heart Rate Recovery. The four pillars are diagnostic. The training that follows is the prescription. We re-test every 16 weeks at the Checkpoint, so your Healthspan Score trend is the artefact, not opinion.

Investment

1:1 personal training in Singapore CBD, sold in packages, paid upfront. First-time client rate is SGD 163.50 per session. The 30-min online consultation and 60-min in-studio Catalyst Healthspan Assessment are both free; the printed Healthspan Report is yours to keep regardless of whether you sign up.

Common questions

Q. 01

How long is each session at Catalyst Performance?

Sessions run for 60 minutes. Your first visit usually takes slightly longer because we complete your full 4-Pillar Assessment and walk you through your results. This gives us the data we need to design your programme with precision.

Q. 02

What if I travel often or have an unpredictable schedule?

We build your programme around your lifestyle. If you travel, we adjust your training plan for hotel gyms or bodyweight alternatives, and we keep your assessment cycle on track. The priority is consistency, not perfection.

Q. 03

How are coaches assigned to me?

We match you based on your goals, training history, medical considerations, and personality fit. Every coach at Catalyst Performance is trained in the same 4-Pillar framework, but each brings a different strength. You work with the coach who is best positioned to guide your long-term development.

Q. 04

What equipment and methods do you use?

We use evidence-based strength training, structured conditioning, stability work, and assessments that reflect real-world capability. Equipment is hand-chosen by Bervin (drawing on his experience opening multiple 20,000-30,000 sqft gyms in Singapore), primarily Watson UK with niche Keiser USA performance pieces. Every tool and method is chosen to build long-term resilience. No gimmicks.

Q. 05

Is parking validated for Raffles Place visitors?

We don't validate parking, the carpark is operated by Manulife Tower and charges its own hourly rate. Most members who drive use the same-floor parking on Level 5 because the convenience outweighs the cost. If you're walking from a Raffles Place office, you don't need to think about parking at all.
