Just as the Christmas holidays began, a new player entered the Alabang fitness scene, offering a unique training experience for serious athletes: KSYN Fitness. While many were focused on festive celebrations, dedicated gym-goers were already getting a head start on their fitness journeys at KSYN's soft launch, which took place right before Christmas. Though the official grand opening is scheduled for the start of 2025, registered clients are currently enjoying the state-of-the-art facilities and building momentum to finish 2024 strong and launch into the new year with purpose.
This is the fifth branch of KSYN Fitness here in the Philippines, a franchise owned by Ken Hanoaka. Ken is a well-respected bodybuilding coach known for training top-level athletes. A competitive bodybuilder himself, Ken is recognized for the impressive physique he consistently presents on stage. Despite his relative youth, he has already established a strong reputation within the bodybuilding community. Unlike many gym owners who are often absent from their facilities, Ken is a constant presence at KSYN Fitness in Alabang, training hard alongside his clients and leading by example.
What truly distinguishes KSYN Fitness from other franchised gyms is its foundation. Founded by a dedicated bodybuilder and bodybuilding coach, every detail of the gym—from the carefully selected equipment to the strategic layout—is intentional and reflects the needs of serious athletes. This isn't a gym designed by business executives; it's a gym designed by an athlete for athletes. This understanding of the bodybuilding lifestyle is evident in the staff as well. Unlike other gyms where trainers might be seen preoccupied with their phones or appearing to need a workout more than their clients, the trainers and many staff members at KSYN are active competitive bodybuilders. From the quiet inked young lady at the front desk to the female trainer talking to clients on the gym floor, the staff contributes to the high-energy, focused vibe that KSYN Fitness has quickly established: this is a gym built for serious gains.
KSYN Fitness also prioritizes cleanliness and client convenience. Forget forgetting a towel; a dedicated cleaning crew regularly sanitizes equipment and meticulously reshelves the various attachments and weights, maintaining a spotless and organized environment. KSYN Fitness effectively merges the best aspects of a traditional "bakal" gym—heavy-duty, reliable machines and a comprehensive range of dumbbells—with the cleanliness, organization, and full staff of a mainstream gym.
The gym is equipped with Lgndry, a professional fitness equipment brand that offers durable urethane weight plates and heavy-duty, top-quality construction. This premium equipment contributes to the intense and motivating atmosphere of the space. Located within Alabang West Parade, the gym is easily accessible, with ample parking available. Adding to the appeal for competitive bodybuilders, rumors suggest the potential addition of a dedicated posing room, although many are currently making use of the group class area. KSYN Fitness also offers a variety of cardio machines, a welcome change from the often-encountered pay-per-minute models. The second-floor location provides a pleasant view, and the treadmills even offer Bluetooth connectivity for personalized workout entertainment. Located in Muntinlupa, Metro Manila, Philippines, KSYN Fitness in Alabang is poised to become a landmark destination for serious bodybuilders seeking a truly dedicated training environment.
KSYN Fitness’s front sign reads “Experience a new gym culture,” and judging by the atmosphere, they’re delivering on that promise. In fact, on the day this article was being edited, I trained at KSYN and counted more active competitors training than regular gym-goers. With a gym designed by a bodybuilder, for bodybuilders, staffed by bodybuilders, and equipped for serious results, if you're a bodybuilder serious about dominating the stage, the only question is: why aren't you at KSYN Fitness Alabang?
