Best spin classes to burn those calories from CNY 2021

Whether you’ve overindulged during your reunion dinner or ditched your diet over the Chinese New Year celebrations, don’t fret. Sign up for these spin classes to get your pre-bak kwa body back.

Chinese New Year is usually associated with eating, collecting ang paos and more eating. Given the type of food consumed during this period (shoutout to our favourite bak kwa, pineapple tarts and love letters), it should come as no surprise that people gain weight by the end of the 15-day celebration. 

If you’re one of those who, um, get chubby easily, here are some of the best spin classes in Singapore you should totally attend if you’re looking to shed those post-CNY calories.
