Since last August, I have been working at KFit as a designer. Some of my friends thought I work at a gym, which is completely untrue and I wish to clarify below. It has been an incredible six-month journey so far—I enjoy working with the people and have tried out many fitness classes I would have otherwise never tried (Klinch MMA, HotYo, Honey Badgers). Here are the five main reasons why I feel you should try KFit too:

1. One Pass, Unlimited Fitness Activities

Founded by former Groupon Malaysia CEO Joel Neoh, KFit is the Netflix for gyms. Not only are you not tied to a specific gym but you don’t even have to pay a huge amount of membership fees. The best part is you also have the freedom and flexibility to get access to an amazing selection of fitness classes like Yoga, Pilates, Zumba and CrossFit; you also get access to some of the coolest social fitness activities like Ice Skating (Sunway Pyramid Ice), Rock Climbing (Xero Gravity), Trampolines (Jump Street), Archery (Stars Archery), Bubble Soccer (Funball), Swimming (Westin Hotel) and so much more!

Did You Know That?
KFit has more than 4,600 partners across Asia offering more than 10,000 classes. Within 10 months since its launch, KFit has expanded into 8 countries—Malaysia, Singapore, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Australia, New Zealand, Korea and Philippines!

2. Search, Book and Go!

Here’s why KFit is awesome: You can search thousands of activities via the KFit mobile app, book classes you’d like to join up to an hour before, and you are ready to go! Now you can walk into a gym or a class like a boss:

3. Workout & Have Fun with Your Friends

Where is the fun in working out alone? Having one or more friends to workout with can serve as a motivator for you to go to try more new things and keep going even when you don’t feel like it. By using the KFit app, you can easily reserve and share your next KFit activity with your friends!

The #Kommunity! Get it? Get it? :)

Did You Know That?
You can get RM20 FREE credit for each friend you refer to join KFit All Access? The more the merrier!

4. Cancel Anytime. No Strings Attached

The traditional gym membership requires you to pay hundreds per month and locks you into a contract. It is slightly hard to believe, but with KFit you have the freedom to cancel your membership anytime. Absolutely no strings attached. Mind blowing, isn’t it?

Trust me, it goes like this…

5. Come visit our awesome office

Vulcan Post just published an article about our amazing new office. We are located opposite Nexus Bangsar South and I’d be happy to give you a tour if you drop by (Directions on Google Map here). Here is a minute long video that gives you a tour of the KFit office:

Last but not least…
