Open to all Singaporeans and Permanent Residents, each ActiveSG member will be given ActiveSG$100 to sign up for sports programmes, and enter into swimming pools and gyms at the various Sports Centres island-wide. Membership is free. Acting Minister for Culture, Community & Youth, Mr Lawrence Wong announced these when he officially launched ActiveSG at Jurong West Sports Centre this evening.

2. “Singaporeans from all walks of life, regardless of age, skill level, or physical ability can lead an active lifestyle through sports. They can come together to learn, train, compete in a range of sports,” said Mr Wong. “We will credit all ActiveSG members with ActiveSG$100 to help kick-start their fitness routine. I hope that Singaporeans will come onboard to embrace this movement and share this with their family and friends too so that we can all get active and Live Better Through Sport.”

They liked it so much that they went to do this a few rounds!”

This is something we enjoy and we’re losing weight at the same time. We enjoyed ourselves so much. We’re definitely coming back for more.”
