KFit // Fruity Toasts

School is draining every ounce of energy from me everyday, and I find it hard to squeeze time out for exercise especially if the gym/fitness centre is out of the way :(

Thankfully for KFit, i am now able to try a different location everyday depending on where is most convenient for me! As I am currently rotating through different hospitals, I can now choose the nearest/most accessible one from where I am and that make things so much easier :) 

Not to mention the huuuuge variety of classes available at KFit! They now have more than 500 fitness locations listed on their app, with offerings such as yoga, zumba, boot camps, martial arts, cross fit, boxing and gym. So one can easily choose an activity depending on your mood/location that day ;)

This is a dream come true for me because I get bored of the same activity easily (can never stick to those 12-classes package thingy hahahaha) but now I can get access to hundreds of group fitness studios, gyms and activities daily with just 1 monthly membership :)

I am definitely not the sportiest person and I remember those dreadful napfa tests where I struggle to pass :P Hopefully I get to be more active now and shed those flabs!

To become a KFit member, all you need to do is download the KFit app via the Apple App Store / Google Play Store or sign up kfit.com and purchase your monthly KFit membership with either a credit, debit card or PayPal. 

If you are interested to kickstart your fitness goals with KFit, do quote "yellowfingers" for $10 off your first month.

Hence instead of $79, you will only have to pay $69!

Following that, it will be $99 for each subsequent month :)
