Carbyne Fitness and IFPA Singapore Publish Study Revealing the Gender Gap Between Personal Training and Home Gyms

SINGAPORE - Media OutReach Newswire - 3 February 2026 — A new joint study by Carbyne Fitness and IFPA Singapore has revealed a striking and persistent gender divide in Singapore's fitness habits: while 80% of home gym users are male, over 60% of individuals actively seeking personal trainers are female. The findings, based on Carbyne Fitness' customer data and an online database of personal training enquiries compiled by IFPA Singapore's personal trainers, point to two fundamentally different approaches to exercise motivation and engagement between men and women. A Tale of Two Fitness Journeys The data suggests that men overwhelmingly prefer self-directed fitness, buying equipment such as adjustable dumbbells, benches, and racks for home use. Women, on the other hand, are more inclined toward guided training experiences led by certified professionals. According to Brian Chang, founder of Carbyne Fitness and IFPA Singapore, this split reveals not just gender preferences, but deeper social and psychological factors shaping how Singaporeans exercise. "Men often see fitness as something they should be able to handle on their own, like asking for help somehow means they're not strong enough," said Chang. "That's why many men would rather train themselves than work with a coach. Ladies, on the other hand, are usually more open to learning and getting guidance. They see working with a coach not as weakness, but as a smart way to improve safely and ......read more
