SINGAPORE – HomeTeamNS is offering six months of gym access to members affected by the recent closures of California Fitness outlets here, the non-profit association said in a statement today (July 22).
It is able to accommodate at least 800 affected individuals in the next six months at its Fitness Workz gyms in HomeTeamNS Balestier and HomeTeamNS Bukit Batok.
Singapore Police Force (SPF) and Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) NSmen can also apply for the same assistance after signing up for HomeTeamNS Ordinary membership.
This is to ensure that they will not have disrupted training, and to encourage them to continue adopting an active lifestyle, HomeTeamNS said.
HomeTeamNS is also offering about 10 part-time positions to personal trainers affected by the California Fitness closures.
“The temporary employment assistance will give a bit of time for personal trainers to secure new jobs at other gym outlets. I hope this will motivate others on similar initiatives, and show how the gym industry could come together to assist those who are affected by the closure,” HomeTeamNS’ chief executive Agnes Eu said.
Those interested in the assistance programmes can contact Fitness Workz at Fitness_Workz@hometeamns.sg or 6705 9473.
