From a pair of running shoes to a super-absorbent sports bra, you don't have to break the bank to keep fit
Dubbed as the world's most expensive city to live in for the fifth year running, Singapore may pose numerous challenges when it comes to allocating a portion of one's already expensive lifestyle to physical fitness. Therefore, you'll need to be resourceful, starting by opting for home cooked meals over pricier poke bowls and sussing out cheaper or even free fitness activities to get active again.
But of course, you'll need to be armed with cool sporting gear before you begin your fitness endeavour. So here are some places you can keep under your radar for serious sports shopping at a bargain!
