For many Filipinos, the idea of joining a gym can feel out of reach—whether due to high costs, long-term contracts, or intimidating environments. At GoGym, we’re on a mission to change that. By offering affordable, accessible, and inclusive fitness solutions, GoGym is redefining what it means to stay healthy and active in Metro Manila.
Traditional gyms often come with hefty membership fees, hidden charges, and rigid contracts that make fitness an exclusive privilege rather than an accessible necessity. With health concerns on the rise and a growing awareness of the importance of exercise, GoGym aims to remove financial and psychological barriers so that more Filipinos can prioritize their well-being.
“We built GoGym because we saw a gap in the market—people wanted quality fitness facilities, but they didn’t want to break the bank,” says Andrew Phillips, CEO of GoGym. “We believe that fitness should be something anyone can afford, not just a select few.”
GoGym’s low-cost, high-value model ensures that members receive top-tier gym facilities, personal training access, and digital tools—all without the overpriced fees that traditional gyms charge.
How GoGym Keeps Prices Low Without Sacrificing Quality
GoGym isn’t just about affordability; it’s about smart fitness solutions that maximize value. Here’s how we do it:
No Hidden Fees, No Contracts: Unlike traditional gyms that lock members into long-term commitments, GoGym offers flexible, commitment-free memberships that fit every lifestyle.
Tech-Enabled Experience: By integrating gym management into our mobile app, GoGym reduces the need for excessive admin staff and paperwork, passing the savings directly to our members.
Optimized Gym Layouts: Our gyms are designed for maximum efficiency, ensuring that members get the most out of their workouts without unnecessary frills that drive up costs.
Community-Driven Motivation: Through gamified challenges, leaderboards, and rewards, members stay engaged without needing costly external motivation.
“We focus on what matters—helping people move, stay healthy, and enjoy their workouts,” says Felicia Perez, Chief Product Officer. “By keeping things simple and leveraging technology, we provide a premium experience at a fraction of the cost.”
Breaking Down Barriers, One Neighborhood at a Time
With five locations in Bonifacio Global City (BGC) and Poblacion, Makati, GoGym is expanding its footprint to bring affordable fitness to more neighborhoods across Metro Manila. Our goal? To create a gym culture where cost is never a reason to skip a workout.
Whether you’re a student, a young professional, or someone looking to get back into fitness, GoGym welcomes you with open arms—and without the intimidation or financial stress that comes with many traditional gyms.
“GoGym is for everyone. It doesn’t matter if you’ve never stepped into a gym before or if you’re training for a marathon,” adds Kristoff Inocentes, Head of Sales & Marketing. “We’re making fitness more approachable, more engaging, and—most importantly—more affordable.”
Join the Movement
The demand for budget-friendly fitness is growing, and GoGym is leading the way. By combining affordable pricing, digital convenience, and an inclusive environment, we’re ensuring that fitness becomes a way of life for more Filipinos.
