1. Beat X Studio
At Beat X Studio, you won’t feel like you are in a gym at all. In fact, members say it’s more like a disco than a gym. With flashing lights and loud beat music, you can get a quick workout done.
You can immerse yourself in the music while boxing, riding, rebounding, or hybrid training. Whether you’re there to sculpt muscles or burn calories, the lights and beats will pump you up and keep you going.
