Popping the champagne and cheering ‘Happy New Year’ not too long ago, we still strive to making our 2016 better whether it is trying to live a healthier life or getting our routines together. While there were lows for the start-up enterprise in Malaysia last year with many ending their operations, here are the promising apps with their pragmatic services that you should keep an eye on that may help you with your 2016’s To-Do-List:

Tech in Asia calls it the “Uber for gyms”.
KFit is increasingly popular as a service that helps people to locate gym and fitness classes and getting unlimited access to them for a fixed fee.
But do you know that you can book beauty services now with the app?
Recently, it offers new services such as massage, spa, and beauty services. The new categories would move the company’s goal towards being a holistic wellness platform according to its founder and CEO, Joel Neoh.
Plus, they have revamped the app where you no longer have to subscribe to the monthly plan to access the activities. You can easily pick an activity on the app, click it and you are all set. What’s more, you can book for your friends too.
It does not come as a surprise to see how appealing KFit is to many people that it is available now in 10 cities across Asia-Pacific, including Singapore, Taipei, Seoul, Manila, Auckland, and Perth.
