Whether you’re hitting the gym after work, sneaking in family Zumba session in your living room, or just the type who loves attending workout classes, HappyDotters know how to squeeze every bit of action out of daily life. Let’s dive into the latest trends in how Singaporeans are staying active.

What gets you moving?

We all have our reasons, whether it’s training for that next marathon, chasing after kids (literally), or simply wanting to clock today’s step count. What’s your motivation?

Personal fitness goals are at the heart of workout routines in Singapore. Most HappyDotters are motivated by a desire to stay healthy (79%), improve strength or fitness (55%), and manage their weight (45%). Only 10% exercise to socialise, and even fewer (6%) do so following a doctor’s recommendation. This suggests that, rather than feeling external pressure, HappyDotters take exercise as a personal responsibility or hobby.

What Workouts Are Making HappyDotters Sweat?

36% of HappyDotters love to hit the pavement for a run or hitting the gym (22%). If you’re more into cycling (17%), swimming (15%), or ball games like volleyball or football (9%), you’re in good company too. Interestingly, 42% selected ‘Others’, with popular choices including walking, hiking, or going for a brisk stroll.

Solo or Squad: How Do You Like to Exercise?

More than half of HappyDotters (56%) like to go solo exercising at least once a week. Sounds like the perfect “me-time” to blast your favourite playlist during workouts. 17% exercise alone a few times a month, and 27% rarely do so alone. But when it comes to group exercise, 56% say “no thanks” most of the time, while 30% join in at least once a week, and 15% a few times a month.
