SINGAPORE - Fitness equipment sales have surged since the Government announced stricter"circuit breaker" measures last Friday to curb the spread of Covid-19 in Singapore.

On top of a strong demand for its Triban mountain bikes, Decathlon's latest top five best-sellers are pilates toning bands, training bands, yoga mats, kids' bicycles and adult scooters. Aibi, which produces and distributes treadmills and elliptical trainers, also shared that its sales have increased by up to 300 per cent - its EZ Tone Desk treadmill and workout benches are sold out - though the Singapore firm is bracing itself for the cost of closing its stores here for a month.

Directhomegym.sg founder Wayne Poh said many people are buying"small amounts of equipment from different shops at the very last minute" due to the situation and that many retailers were not prepared for the surge as they do not have a lot of inventory.
