Singapore Fitness Alliance helping True Fitness, True Yoga employees find jobs
About 230 employees and freelancers from True Group have reached out to Singapore Fitness Alliance.
In response to the abrupt closure of True Fitness and True Yoga, the Singapore Fitness Alliance (SFA) is actively assisting the affected employees and freelancers from True Group in finding new job opportunities. This initiative is a collaboration between SFA and the National Instructors & Coaches Association (NICA), as well as e2i, NTUC’s employment and employability institute.
As of now, approximately 230 individuals have reached out to SFA for support, according to Sean Tan, the SFA's president and co-founder, who provided this information to CNA in response to their inquiries.
However, it is important to note that SFA will not be involved in any efforts to recover unpaid salaries or commissions for these staff members. SFA's involvement is solely focused on job placement assistance. The organization serves as a representative for numerous gyms, studios, and boutiques across Singapore, as evidenced by its website.
True Group operates a total of 10 fitness centers in Singapore under three distinct brands: True Fitness, TFX, and Yoga Edition. The parent company of True Group is Hong Kong-listed Kontafarma China Holdings, which announced on Thursday night that the directors of True Fitness and True Yoga in Singapore were unable to continue their operations due to financial liabilities.
The directors cited "unprecedented" challenges such as intense competition from boutique gyms, exercise facilities within condominiums and private residences, and the increasing popularity of digital training options as the primary reasons for the closure of the fitness centers. These centers are being liquidated under the supervision of insolvency practitioners.
True Group, established in Singapore in 2004, had previously exited the Malaysian and Thai markets in 2017 and 2025, respectively. The mismanagement of the closures in Malaysia and Thailand resulted in a lawsuit against True Group's founder and then-CEO, which True Fitness and True Yoga won in 2022.
