The personal-training scene in Singapore has never been hotter. With over 3,000 certified trainers on the island, a few names keep dominating Google searches, Reddit megathreads, TikTok transformations, and private Telegram fitness groups. Below is the confirmed good shortlist of the 10 individual trainers (not gyms or studios) that clients, influencers, and even other trainers themselves mention the most this year. No paid placements, just pure word-of-mouth heat.
1. Jordan Yeoh
The undisputed king of Singapore fitness. 1.3 million YouTube subscribers, 800 k+ Instagram followers, and still takes private clients at his private studio in Bukit Timah. Known for zero-equipment body transformations and the famous “Jordan Yeoh lean bulk” look. 1-on-1 sessions are fully booked 6–9 months ahead; he now runs a lottery system every quarter.
2. Liv Lo
Former Yoga Movement ambassador turned celebrity trainer. Trains local actresses, Mediacorp stars, and Miss Singapore winners. Specialises in bridal prep, postnatal recovery, and “long & lean” Pilates-based training. Her signature 8-week wedding package is whispered to cost north of $12 k but delivers insane results.
3. Calvin Lim (Musclemania Asia Champion)
The most shredded trainer you’ll ever meet. Multiple Musclemania and Fitness America titles. Works out of UFIT Cross Street and takes only contest-prep or extreme physique clients. If you want abs that look Photoshopped in real life, his 16-week transformation packages are legendary (and brutal).
4. Sarah-Jane Tan (SJ)
The queen of female fat-loss. Went viral in 2023 after transforming 50+ housewives into bikini competitors. Runs small-group PT at Ritual Gym Telok Ayer and private sessions at her home studio in Siglap. Her “SJ Method” combines flexible dieting with heavy lifting — mums swear by her.
5. Ryan Tan (The Lean Body Project)
Former national gymnast turned posture & mobility wizard. Works primarily with CEOs and desk-bound executives who want to fix years of hunching. Uses a mix of gymnastics strength, animal flow, and breathwork. Waiting list is currently 4–5 months.
6. Amanda Lim (Powerlifting Coach)
Singapore’s strongest female powerlifter (multiple national records). Coaches out of Gymmbox One-North and online. Takes beginners to nationals in under 18 months. If your goal is to deadlift 2× bodyweight, she’s the one people DM at 2 am for advice.
7. Ken Heim (The Movement Blueprint)
Australian import who quietly trains half the expat finance bros in Raffles Place. Specialises in pain-free training for 40+ clients with old injuries. His 1-on-1 rate jumped to $220/session in 2025 and still sells out instantly.
8. Cherie Tan (Prenatal & Postnatal Specialist)
The go-to for pregnant and new mums (even trained a few local influencers through twin pregnancies). Works out of Yoga Edition Siglap and clients’ homes. Combines clinical pilates, hypopressives, and strength training so you actually leave motherhood stronger than before.
9. Isaac Soh (Celebrity & Idol Trainer)
Officially trains K-pop/J-pop trainees in Singapore plus a handful of local celebs who can’t be named (NDA life). Runs a private studio in town with biometric body-composition scanners. Known for getting idols stage-ready in 6–8 weeks. Sessions are invitation-only and allegedly 300–300–400/hr.
10. Marcus Tong (Strength & Conditioning for Athletes)
Former national rugby player who now trains teenage scholarship athletes and weekend warriors. Works with Singapore Sports School kids and adult national-team hopefuls. His Saturday morning group sessions at East Coast Park are free if you dare survive them.

Pro tip in 2025: Most of these trainers now charge 20–30 % more than last year, and almost all run a waitlist. The fastest way in is usually through current client referrals or jumping on their occasional “last-minute cancellation” Instagram stories.
Your best move? Pick the two whose transformation photos look closest to your goal, stalk their current clients’ reviews, then politely slide into the DMs with a clear goal and timeline. Good luck — slots disappear faster than limited-edition Stanley cups.
