All you people still making excuses for keeping your butt on your office chair—shame on you. How much more motivation do you need? Gym chains are expanding across the country, with Fitness First (#04-01/#05-01 CPF Building, 1 Tampines Central, 6438-5998) launching its latest club in Tampines, its first in the East. As if having a fitness center right on your “doorstep” isn’t convenient enough, women’s gym Vivafit (#02-24, Blk. 1 Tanjong Pagar Plaza, 6226-3630, www.vivafit.com.sg) has also opened its doors here. It offers a 30-minute circuit program (for all you busy bees) that combines hydraulic machines and recovery platforms, as well as Les Mills group exercise classes that include Pilates. What we’re most keen on is their personalized service, where they’ll monitor your fitness goals so you don’t get distracted and even give you a courtesy call if you go MIA for 10 consecutive days. Take that, bums.
