Senior Gym | Fitness Classes by NTUC Health @ ActiveSG Gym - Serangoon Central

My wife and I have benefited from Gymtonic at NTUC Health over the last 2 and a half years. Besides the very knowledgeable trainers, we are very appreciative for the 'back room' personnel, like Sharon and Khairul, who are very responsive and helpful to us in navigating the internet based payment and booking systems

The trainers are good and I enjoy the exercises. But the price increase in the fee from $300+ to $600+ is very hefty especially for senior citizens who are not working and have no income. I hope NTUC will reduce the fee so that more senior citizens can continue with these exercises.

Gym is small, and equipment selection is narrow; no squat rack, no deadlift machine, therefore not suitable for training those important compound muscle groups. Elderly patrons also have a very different gym culture whereby you have to queue and wait for each of them to use the machine for 20~30mins at a time.

One of the smaller ActiveSG gyms, but has pretty much what I need for my workout routine. :) Tend to be packed during peak hours, staff can be strict at times - to return weights whenever not in use, no bringing in weights to the senior gym etc Space is small and sometimes you have to wait for others to finish their set to do yours, nonetheless glad to be able to workout at a gym near home

How is it that other gyms in other locations are all 3-4x the size, but serangoon only gets a senior gym with way too little machines from youth? If I'd to do some common exercises like squats or bench, there's no freeweight barbell, and there's only 1 smith machine that you can expect not to use it throughout the session. This gym is terribly tiny and often at near max capacity. Serangoon town council please do better
