As I get closer to the 60yo mark, I enrolled in a Personal Training program with Coach Syahmi Ruzman (Syam). My objective is to get my body ready for the next phase of my life. 6 months into the groove and it has been a very satisfying journey. Coach Syam ensured he understood my objectives and curated a training program suitable for me. He also made sure he is aware of all my medical history and leaving nothing to surprise. I have had 2 stents inserted, 10% of right kidney removed due to malignant tumour, gall bladder fully removed and 26 years of type 2 diabetes on my record. My body has no shortage of trauma. But Syam ensures that his program adapts to my body and supports my health, and is long term sustainable. He explains the routine patiently - the techniques the objectives and the errors to avoid. A gym may look daunting and a stoic place to be in especially if you are a retired senior, but coach Syam ensure I feel at ease training my own routine at my own pace. I would recommend his service and The Strength Yard to anyone in similar situations.

We’ve been training with Jon for several years. Even after moving out of the East, we still make the trip to train with him every week. He’s patient, technically very strong, and thoughtful in how he tailors our training to our individual needs. We’ve seen a real difference in our strength and fitness over the years. Highly recommended.

A great place to start if you are new to strength training like me. My trainer Yew Hong was encouraging and professional. Every session began with a quick check-in to see how I was feeling.

He focused on helping me learn the correct form and technique rather than simply getting through the workouts. The training was structured around gradual progression, with the weights increased based on my progress. He would be nearby to assist if I struggled with the weights. It was truly a positive introduction to strength training!

Jodi brings good energy and vibes to every session. She's caring and patient. I come in with all sorts of injuries from time to time and she always been flexible with the workout routine so that despite my injuries, i still get a good workout. She also finds different exercises to help with my overall well being. It's been a great pleasure to have Jodi as my trainer and i look forward to our sessions together.

I was recommended PT Coach Jon Wee by my physiotherapist, as I was looking to further strengthen my muscles. I have been doing PT sessions for the past 3 months and have experienced positive changes in my mobility! Jon is friendly and able to provide easy clear instructions on the techniques, and helps to set a customized program that is manageable. Now I feel more confident when I do strength classes elsewhere and also started using the gym equipment by myself. The gym environment is simple and no frill, but not as crowded as other commercial gyms.
Strongly recommend Jon!

Coach Jon is a very dedicated coach who dives deep on technics and form. He also taught me some stretching exercises that have worked well.

Training with Jodi has honestly been such a positive experience. She’s incredibly patient, easy-going, and always so friendly, which makes every session feel comfortable and never intimidating. What I appreciate most is how she takes the time to guide me through everything — I never feel lost or unsure!

She creates an environment where going to the gym feels less daunting and something I actually look forward to. It doesn’t feel like I’m just training with a coach, but with someone who genuinely cares — more like a friend than a trainer. Really grateful to have her supporting me on this journey 🤍

I have had a positive and enriching experience at the Strength Yard, with Allen as my trainer. Due to circumstance, I could only train with Allen for 4 sessions, focusing on power lifting and weight lifting. The sessions were educational for me and I learned much from Allen, who has so much knowledge in terms of technique, posture, and how not to injure oneself. I mentioned I have some back pain issue during the intake call and Allen kept that in mind while planning my training. As my first personal trainer, Allen has set the bar high. He is professional, friendly, supportive and easy-going. With his guidance, I can now continue my weightlifting journey with confidence. A big thank you to you once again, Allen!!

I've been working out for awhile now but have plateaued for a long time, in late 2025 I took the plunge and signed up for hybrid coaching programme with my trainer Yew Hong.

To say I have no regrets is an understatement.

Under Yew Hong's coaching, I am now confident in my form and I see clear progression in my lifts. As a coach, he is encouraging, patient and technical. I highly recommend TSY to anyone considering or on the fence.

I've been training at the gym for a year now under Coach Jodi and it has been great! Jodi is very patient and encouraging, she structures her classes clearly and tailors the exercises to my progress each week. She remains present and supportive during each session, and explains the mechanics behind each exercise clearly. I have became stronger, fitter, and healthier and I look forward to continuing the sessions with Jodi at the Strength Yard! :D (- Jess)

JODI IS THE BEST PT EVER!!! She is kind, gentle, and a great motivator to help you in your strength journey. She has pushed me beyond what I thought possible and has helped me realise my fitness goals. She gave me the confidence to get back into gyming and has me no longer intimidated by weight training. If you are new to the gym, Jodi will be your best friend!

To health and back plus more! At first glance, this gym is may seem gritty and perhaps a bit intimidating for someone who typically lifts a petite 4kg dumbbell. However, have faith and stick with it and it will lead to a whole new world of lifestyle changes and health benefits. Special shout out to Jodi for being my constant support in this journey. She instill rigor and discipline in maintaining good lifting form and help me gain confidence in lifting heavier weights!

I’ve had a great experience training at The Strength Yard so far. The gym has a really focused and supportive environment no ego, just people who genuinely want to get stronger and improve.

My coach Yew Hong has been fantastic. He takes the time to understand my goals, corrects my form carefully, and structures the training in a way that pushes me while still being sustainable. Every session feels purposeful and I can clearly see the progress in strength and technique.

I've visited TSY a few times, usually to pick up stuff from SBD but I've always found it to have a 'homey' and wholesome vibe. Signed up my son for PT during the school holidays with Allen and he enjoyed his sessions. Allen was professional, supportive and understood how to work with a rather wilful teenager. Thank you!

It was difficult to find the place as it is on the second floor, above their gym. A small wooden door on the side will lead you up to the retail space.

They have a nice selection of shoes and I was looking to try a pair of Lonowears which they are a distributor of.

Had a fantastic chat with Dean and he helped me to pick out the sizes and colours of the model that I was looking at. I appreciated that he asked about how I would be wearing my shoes (i.e. for the gym, outdoors or as a daily wear) and if I've had experience wearing barefoot shoes before to help me decide if these were good for me.

Friendly service and great value on their products.👍🏻

Would not have imagined I could participate in Novice Classic 2025 when started the training journey with Jon way back early 2022.

Indebted to Jon for a meticulously well crafted training structure; his unwavering patience and determination in ensuring I get the foundation right.

Grateful to TSY Team for the non judgmental, non intimidating vibe, and the much needed breadth to learn at my own pace.

It has been a great journey; look forward to setting new milestones with Jon and TSY !

Jodi is an amazing PT and I’ve had an amazing experience training with her at the strength yard. She has helped me reach my goals and push me beyond what I thought possible. Jodi is friendly and thorough and was able to identify my problem areas quickly and design a workout that best addressed them and push me further. I would highly recommend Jodi as a trainer and the strength yard as a gym! Thank you Jodi!

Jon Wee is an outstanding personal trainer. At the Strength Yard (Joo Chiat Road Singapore) for six (6) sessions spread across 3 weeks July - August 2025, Jon taught me how to properly dead lift as well as teaching me new exercises for my whole body split. Jon listened, observed, demonstrated, corrected, and reinforced proper form in a thoughtful easy going manner. I highly recommend him. When I next return to Singapore, I hope to see Jon again for a technique tune up and to learn new exercises.

Very well-equipped weightlifting gym in my neighborhood that opens till midnight. Great for my workouts everyday that suits my busy daily schedule. Public carpark is just next to the gym which is really convenient. The staff are friendly and professional. Love the variety of free weights which suit my training routine and I have managed to improve my DL and squats over the years. The vibe is really welcoming too. Feel that the crowd is very pleasant and it feels like it is just common minded people doing their thing.

The Strength Yard is my go to gym. The owners are very friendly and welcoming, which creates a comfortable and relaxed environment. The gym setup is simple and fuss-free — easy to use and great for me who just wants to focus on my workout. A no-pressure, supportive place to train.

Damn solid gym

I’ve been at The Strength Yard since 2020, not one bad session. Every time I go, the vibe is steady good. No toxic energy, no show-off nonsense, just down-to-earth people and super chill environment. With the support of the coaches and making friends with them, I somehow ended up trying BJJ and loved it but unfortunately had no time to commit.

Coach Ed really helped me a lot over the years. Last time I join just to get fitter, ended up losing weight, getting stronger, and feeling a lot better mentally also. Got some tough periods in life, but training here really kept me going and gave me more confidence in myself.

This place not just about lifting weights — you can go to any gym for that. The team really cares, and the community spirit is there. If you’re thinking of joining, it's definitely worth it a go.

Not sure where to start, there's training classes often as well, even though I did not join those I can see the coaches guiding people new to weightlifting so they do not feel too stressed and injure themselves.

Location is convenient too

optional side quest : there's really solid Prata nextdoor too but I do not get commission for each Prata sold

Nothing better than gaining back the calories you burnt after a gym session so you can go back to TSY again 😂

I can't thank my personal trainer Jon enough for patiently guiding me back to strength and confidence. Week after week, patiently coaching me through every deadlift, every squat — always emphasizing proper form and safety. What truly sets him apart is his patience and quiet consistency. He never rushed the process, never pushed beyond what was sustainable, and yet somehow, I kept progressing at my own time, space and rhythm.

Each session felt like a small but meaningful victory — not just physically, but mentally too. I’ve not only regained strength but also developed a deeper respect for form, discipline, and the value of a good coach. If you're looking for someone who’s not just knowledgeable but genuinely invested in your journey, look no further.

Highly recommend!

I love my PT Jodi! She’s amazing and I’ve had lots of fun here learning about strength training and getting stronger.

She has tailored the program to my needs and considers other important lifestyle factors like sleep, injuries and diet which was refreshing and so important for long term consistency and to see results.

a special shout-out to my trainer, Jodi, who has been a game-changer in my fitness journey. her expertise, guidance and constant encouragement have made a huge difference in my progress and helped me achieve my goals. i now understood the "why" behind each exercise and training technique thanks to her.

Great atmosphere and great coaches. Was intimated at the thought of going to The Strength Yard at first but realised after my first visit, there was nothing to worry about. If you are looking to lift with good technique and proper supervision, would highly recommend TSY! ◡̈

I joined the Strength Yard progressive strength training class about 8 months ago and feeling fantastic! Thanks to the clear and attentive guidance from my coach, Syam, I’m able to see small but consistent progress across all my lifts. He makes the journey really enjoyable, starting from scratch with basic knowledge and movement correction. After 3 kids and multiple injuries, TSY is the place to go for professional attentive and fun coaches. DO IT, you won’t regret it :)

I've been training at The Strength Yard with Jon as my trainer since September 2022. Since then, I've gone from being a climber looking for a change, training during pregnancy, and now I’m working on improving my big three lifts. Jon's programming has consistently been solid, and he's clear in his communication. He pays close attention to lifting form, and his approach is straightforward—no flashy workout names, just effective training. He is also flexible with scheduling, which makes it easy to stay on track. Since working with him, I've gotten stronger than I have ever been.

It's been a year since I joined the Progressive Strength Class at The Strength Yard, and the progress I've made under the coaches' guidance has been phenomenal. If I had trained alone, I wouldn't have achieved nearly as much. What truly stands out is the coaches' extensive knowledge and their ability to tailor training and exercises to fit your life rather than expecting you to rearrange your life around the gym. The training is holistic, designed to suit each individual's abilities and commitment levels.

With their guidance, you won't need to spend 4 to 5 hours a day, 6 times a week at the gym to see significant progress. Special shoutout to Coach Syam—a meticulous and dedicated coach who generously shares his vast fitness knowledge with anyone who has questions.

If you're looking to make serious gains, definitely give The Strength Yard a try. You won't be disappointed!

We were in Singapore for a week, and needed a gym. Thankfully TSY welcomed us to train at their great facility. Equipment has everything you need for powerlifting, process was smooth and community is great. Will come again whenever I'm back in Singapore!

I joined TSY for the Progressive Strength Classes since last Dec. My experience over the past 6 months has been amazing.

Although TSY was not my first gym, I've decided to join the classes to get some guidance on how to lift weights with proper form. I've gotten even more than expected:

1) The coaches at TSY have been attentive to my form and technique during each session; and imparted me with lots of knowledge on how I can improve at my exercises.

2) I've received help on not just form, but also a personalised programme that was highly adaptable to my goals. Shoutout to Syam for prescribing in exercises that I didn't even realise was very helpful to me.

3) As a result, I've also built more self-confidence navigating through my strength workouts independently. After all, the gains are actually happening ;)

The gym layout is charming, functional and well-equipped. Nice vibes too. I highly recommend these classes for anyone who are seeking professional guidance in your fitness journey.

Training with Densun at The Strength Yard Gym has been an absolute game-changer for my strength journey. His expertise and personalized approach have helped me push past my limits and achieve goals I never thought possible. Densun's dedication to his craft and his clients is evident in every session, making each one both challenging and rewarding. If you're serious about reaching your goals, look no further than Densun at The Strength Yard Gym.

Had an awesome experience training at the gym with a PT, as well as their online PT service. Densun was my trainer and has helped focus on my goals, deliver a training plan to support that and in case of travel/ illness, helped to ramp up solidly and responsibly.

Well worth it for an old-school, no-fuss strength training gym and nice community of people that go there too. Would highly recommend!

Coach Allen is very patient, knowledgeable and helpful when it comes to PT. He taught me the fundamentals and explained to me in drawings when I first started training with him in Nov 2023. Now I can train better when I can understand how the muscles work and how they go against gravity to create resistance, and not just lift weights blindly. Not only that, the other coaches at Strength Yard are also very friendly and helpful. I am happy with my progress - from understanding the techniques, correcting my form and improving my strength as I grow older. Thank you for training me as always. - Ash

Great location and environment; the atmosphere is filled with motivated individuals here. There is a multitude of services available that cater to individual fitness needs, such as personal training, hybrid/online training, and even strength classes.

The trainers here are in great shape and have a high level of strength, matched by their knowledge. They also seem very approachable and friendly.

I joined TSY in early Jan and am about 12 training sessions in with Coach Densun. To say that this has been one of the best financial and time investments of my life till date is an understatement.

The gym is superbly well-equipped, clean, and charming. Culture is welcoming. Never once have I felt intimidated by the clientele and environment - the gym is now one of my favorite places in Singapore and I look forward to putting in my time there each week.

Coach Densun has been patient, firm and determined in helping me reach my fitness goals and I'm very thankful to have found a trainer that is as invested in my growth as I am. Great work ethic, nice tattoos and very handsome too.

I hope this review might encourage those still on the fence about starting their strength journey to take the leap of faith with TSY. All the coaches here are incredibly dedicated at what they do. Go for it.
