The business of getting fit

THERE was a bit of a hoo-ha back in December 2015 when Pure Fitness gave its customers less than two months' notice that one of its two gyms at the time - at Knightsbridge in the middle of the Orchard Road shopping belt - was shutting its doors.

Two years after that abrupt closure, Pure Fitness has stamped its mark on the fitness scene in a big way. It has since opened a new gym at Ocean Financial Centre in the busy Raffles Place area, a stone's throw away from its Asia Square branch.

Last month, Pure Fitness marked its return to Orchard Road with a brand new 28,000 square-foot gym on the eighth floor of Ngee Ann City.
