S'pore Fitness Alliance to help affected True Fitness & True Yoga staff find new jobs, nearly 235 employees joined group chat
However, SFA will not be involved in any efforts to recover unpaid salaries or commissions.
The Singapore Fitness Alliance (SFA) is taking action to support affected True Group employees who lost their jobs when True Fitness and True Yoga shut down on September 10, 2026. The SFA, in collaboration with the National Instructors & Coaches Association (NICA) and National Trades Union Congress (NTUC)'s employment and employability institute (e2i), is spearheading an initiative to help these individuals find new employment.
The SFA, a non-profit industry association established in 2021, represents a significant portion of Singapore's gyms and studios, including Fitness First, Virgin Active, and Anytime Fitness. However, the SFA will not be involved in efforts to recover unpaid salaries or commissions for the affected staff. To facilitate this process, SFA has created a WhatsApp group where nearly 235 affected staff members have joined.
The SFA is also compiling a list of the affected employees, including their contact details and information about their last roles with True Group. Once consent is obtained, SFA will share this list with its members on September 14, 2026. Several SFA members have expressed interest in hiring affected True Group staff, with companies such as Fitness First, Anytime Fitness, Virgin Active, and PURE Group showing interest.
Tan, a former True Group chairman until June 2022, noted that several SFA members are considering offering memberships or concessionary membership fees to the affected staff. However, it is likely that SFA members will not be able to recognize or credit unutilized membership or personal training packages.
