True Fitness & True Yoga close in Singapore: what affected members need to know

If you have an unused membership, personal-training package or yoga package, this is now a consumer-creditor issue rather than a normal gym cancellation. The closures happened abruptly, and affected customers should preserve contracts, receipts, payment records and any app or email evidence showing unused value.

The headline number is already substantial: by late 11 September, Singapore’s consumer watchdog had received more than 240 complaints involving reported losses above S$609,000. Those figures may continue to rise as more members file claims.

01 · What happened to True Fitness and True Yoga?

The Singapore companies behind True Fitness and True Yoga were placed under provisional liquidation on 10 September 2026. Their fitness and yoga centres then ceased operations as part of the winding-up process.

According to reporting based on the parent company’s announcement and corporate records, insolvency practitioners Goh Wee Teck and Lin Yueh Hung of RSM SG Corporate Advisory were provisionally appointed. Extraordinary general meetings are scheduled for 7 October, when creditors’ voluntary winding-up is to be proposed, followed by creditors’ meetings.

02 · The closure covers True Fitness, TFX and Yoga Edition

The True Singapore Group operated 10 fitness and yoga outlets across three brands: True Fitness, TFX and Yoga Edition. This is not a single-branch closure or a short maintenance shutdown.

Members who were previously told they could use another branch should therefore treat those earlier arrangements as overtaken by the liquidation and closure notices unless the liquidators issue a newer instruction.

03 · Members have reported large prepaid losses

Many customers paid in advance for annual or multi-year memberships, personal-training sessions or other packages. CNA reported that, by the evening of 11 September, more than 240 complaints involving over S$609,000 in reported losses had been lodged with the Consumers Association of Singapore.

That figure is a snapshot, not an estimate of the final liability to members. The amount recoverable by any individual customer will depend on the liquidation process, their contract and payment method, and any separate consumer or card-payment remedies available to them.

04 · What affected members should do now

1. Save evidence now. Download or screenshot your membership details, remaining sessions, invoices, receipts, contracts, emails and any in-app balance.
2. Record the unused amount. Make a simple calculation of what you believe remains unconsumed, with supporting documents.
3. Watch for liquidator instructions. Claims against a company in liquidation normally need to follow the liquidator’s formal process.
4. Contact CASE where relevant. The Consumers Association of Singapore is already handling complaints from affected customers and can explain consumer-assistance options.
5. Ask your payment provider promptly. If you paid by credit card, contact the issuer and ask whether a chargeback or other card-scheme remedy may apply. Eligibility and time limits vary, so do not assume success.

05 · Check recurring payments and GIRO arrangements

If you have an active recurring card payment, GIRO deduction or instalment arrangement connected to the gym, check it rather than assuming the liquidation notice automatically stops every payment path.

Speak directly with your bank or card issuer before cancelling anything that may have separate contractual consequences. Keep a record of the date, reference number and advice you receive.

06 · Staff were also caught by the sudden shutdown

The closures were not a long-signalled wind-down for customers. News reports described staff and members arriving on 11 September to find outlets shut, while employees were called to the company’s Claymore Hill headquarters for information from the provisional liquidators.

That matters because front-desk staff or former instructors may not be in a position to authorise refunds or give binding information about claims. Use formal company, liquidator and consumer-agency channels for anything involving money.

07 · Why did the Singapore business collapse?

The Hong Kong-listed parent company cited increasingly fierce competition, rising customer-acquisition costs, high operating costs and cash-flow pressure. The Singapore group had continued to generate revenue but was loss-making and carried substantial net liabilities.

For customers, the practical point is more important than the corporate post-mortem: closure under a winding-up process is different from a normal business deciding to refund unused memberships at the counter.

08 · Refunds are not guaranteed by the closure announcement

Being owed money does not mean a full or immediate refund is guaranteed. Members may become creditors in the winding-up process, and the eventual outcome can depend on available assets and the ranking and acceptance of claims.

Be cautious of anyone claiming they can secure a refund for an upfront fee. Use contact details published by the provisional liquidators, CASE, your bank or official corporate notices rather than links circulating only in private messages.

09 · The next key date is 7 October 2026

The companies’ extraordinary general meetings and creditors’ meetings are scheduled for 7 October 2026. That does not mean affected members should wait until then to collect records or ask banks about time-sensitive payment remedies.

We will treat any formal notice from the provisional liquidators or a Singapore authority as controlling if it changes the claims process described here.

Sources & verification

This article was checked on 12 September 2026 against CNA’s updated closure and consumer-loss report, CNA’s report on affected staff and members, and The Business Times’ reporting on the provisional liquidation and parent-company announcement.

Verification rule: liquidation instructions can change. A newer notice from the provisional liquidators, ACRA, CASE or another competent Singapore authority takes priority over this summary.
