These KINEX Fitness Spots Let You Pick Up Martial Arts & Work Out With Trainers
After extended periods of staying home this year, some of us may notice that certain body parts have grown a little pudgier.
With the onslaught of festive gatherings to attend at the end of the year, even the fittest friend in your clique would find it a challenge to stick to a lean diet.
If you’re determined to start 2021 with a new you, you can visit these places at KINEX mall in Katong to burn off all that WFH and festive feast calories.
Forget traditional treadmills and conventional cycling machines — here are more ways to stay active without having to follow a mundane routine.

The tendency to chill after surviving the slog of a demanding day at work is irresistible, so fighting the temptation quite literally may be the most effective way.

Keep your fitness goals in sight for 2021
Starting on a fitness journey can be daunting, especially when you’re more of a Netflix-and-chill kinda person or can’t resist sinking your teeth into good food.
It helps to realise that daily exercise is not just about losing weight — it’s also to improve your health so you can grow old without having to worry much about chronic illnesses and steep medical bills.
As we enter a new phase – Phase 3 – and a new year, it’s also time to work towards a newer, stronger version of you.
So keep your spirit bright, those muscles tight, and fitness goals in sight.
