ABOUT RAW

SINGAPORE’S FIRST ANTI-GYM

As Singapore’s first – and probably the world’s – anti-gym, RAW doesn’t recruit typical trainers. We work with smart and driven trainers.

We constantly push ourselves to find better ways to improve our award-winning approach. Since 2009, our trainers have been flying across the globe to acquire new skills. Our personal training fits into your busy schedule with our flexible approach.

We weren’t kidding when we make the statement that we are over-qualified. Our anti-gym approach is tailored to and designed based on your fitness statistics and goals, health or medical conditions, as well as movement and/or flexibility restrictions.

FOUNDER STORY

From a young age, our founder and Master Trainer, Glenn Ang, saw his uncle as a role model. That uncle was a guardsman, who embodied many traits that Glenn admired.

After surviving a plane crash, Glenn’s uncle stayed strong and optimistic, despite having to live with third-degree burns and organ failure. Inspired, Glenn followed in his uncle’s footsteps and signed on as an army regular as a Guards officer. After a few years of being an army regular, Glenn came to the realization that he was in a rut – without paper qualifications, he could one day become like the elderly guardsmen he encountered, leading an aimless life.

Glenn decided to make a career switch. He knew it would be tough, but he also knew that tough was the way to go.

In 2009, Glenn became a fitness trainer at an international gym, Fitness First Singapore at Paragon. A few years later, as his clientele steadily grew, Glenn became a freelance personal trainer. In the same year, Glenn graduated with Bachelor Degree in Exercise and Sports Science and took on the role of a full-time fitness manager in Fitness First Singapore at Capital Tower Sports Performance Club. After committing 2 years to that role, Glenn took a leap of faith and opened his own gym.

In December 2016, RAW Active was born. After months of hard work and perseverance, RAW Active finally caught the market’s attention.
