What exactly is ActiveSG?
Sport Singapore started a movement across the country called ActiveSG. This free sports membership program makes a wide range of activities, programs, and facilities available to Singaporeans and Singapore Permanent Residents. If you qualify, you will earn $100 in credits as a reward for making healthy and active lifestyle choices
If you didn’t know, all Singaporeans and Permanent Residents who joined up for a free ActiveSG membership receive $100 in ActiveSG credits. Singaporeans are reportedly becoming overweight, inactive, and diabetic, therefore the government is trying to urge them to move more.
What Advantage Can Singaporeans Take From Their $100 ActiveSG Credit
1. Obtain entrance to public pools
Stop whining because you can’t afford a condo with a pool and start accepting your financial situation. Access to Singapore’s public pools is free with your ActiveSG credits. You may visit once a week at a cost of $1 to $2 and yet not exhaust your credit within a year. To save money and receive a bulk discount, buy a MyActiveSWIM pass if you swim frequently.
2. Exercise for free at the gym
The pricey gym membership has to be canceled. ClubFITT gyms cost $2.50 each entrance, however, with your ActiveSG credits, you may enter for free. If you’re somewhat disciplined and frequent the gym in the morning, you can use your ActiveSG credits to purchase a MyActiveGym membership, which costs $80 and grants you unrestricted access to the facility each day before 4 p.m.
3. Reserve racquetball courts
I’m horrible at anything requiring eye-hand coordination, yet even I, like 99% of Singaporeans, can play badminton. Anywhere in Singapore, you may reserve facilities using your credits. Most neighborhoods have badminton courts in the school gymnasiums, ten tennis facilities have courts, five squash facilities have courts, and twelve sports halls have tables for table tennis.
4. Reserve sporting facilities for teams.
If the thought of twenty people chasing one ball makes you want to chase the ball yourself rather than hide out in the air-conditioned section away from all the ruckus, you fit the description of someone who enjoys team sports. If your team wishes to annihilate another team for free, you may reserve fields, pitches, and courts for sports like hockey, basketball, netball, soccer, volleyball, and futsal.
5. Receive 30% off of sports programming
Trying a new sport on your own is a formula for shattered bones for those of us who are not naturally athletic. It’s far safer to work out in a group with an instructor nearby who can call for help if you make a nearly deadly error while performing a new yoga posture.
In reality, ActiveSG offers a variety of programs, such as KpopX fitness and Zumba, which let you channel your auntie and ah lian, respectively, as well as odd-sounding workouts like CardioMIX and PILOXING.
