Getting into shape doesn’t always require slogging it out on a treadmill or jogging loops around the neighbourhood. From belting out karaoke tunes to bouncing through obstacle zones, these unconventional fitness spots across Singapore blend movement with pure fun. Whether you’re easing back into exercise or just want to shake up your game, these play-first, sweat-second attractions are the perfect way to stay active — no gym required.

Climb higher, move bolder

Rain or shine, Adventure HQ is made for those who like their workouts with a dose of adventure. Located at HomeTeamNS Khatib, the adrenaline-packed attraction is Singapore’s largest multi-installation indoor facility — and under the CSC–HomeTeamNS reciprocal partnership, CSC members enjoy discounted entry.

Climb towering rock walls, tackle rope courses with 16 different elements, test your agility on a Ninja Warrior-style obstacle zone or brave the 14-metre (m) indoor slide — the longest in Singapore. Still not enough? Crawl through a 165m indoor cave system or soar across the roll glider for the full-body thrill.

Ground Up Climbing at CSC @ Tessensohn also offers a 15-metre-high outdoor rock wall, top-rope lanes, auto-belay lanes, a bouldering gym, and one of the hardest overhangs in town. There are family classes for all ages and one hour taster sessions for those who want to learn the ropes.  There’s really something for everyone who is curious or experienced with the activity. 

You’ll be sore the next day but trust us — it’s the kind of workout you’ll want to brag about.

Elevate your workout — literally

Sometimes, the best gym doesn’t have walls. At Forest Adventure, a treetop obstacle course in Bedok Reservoir, you’ll swap weights for rope ladders, suspended bridges and a 300m zipline that flies you over open water.

Outdoor workouts have been shown to boost both cognitive function and mood — so you're giving your mind and body a lift while soaking in the sights and sounds of nature. And if your coordination’s a bit rusty, don’t worry: With courses for all skill levels, it’s easy to jump back into action, no matter your starting point.

Strike up a sweat — and treat yourself after

Bowling might look like just a game, but it doubles as a sneaky-good workout that engages your upper and lower body — making it perfect for anyone easing back into fitness. With all the stretching, lifting and coordination involved, you’ll be burning calories without even realising it.

Enjoy this laidback way to stay active at Planet Bowl (CSC @ Tessensohn), Westwood Bowl (CSC @ Bukit Batok) and Gallop Bowl (CSC @ Changi) — all air-conditioned, family-friendly and equipped with pro-grade lanes and scoring systems. And yes, they serve fried food too. Ideal for the “fitness with fries” crowd — no shame, all fun. CSC members enjoy special rates all week long, including peak hours.

Burn calories with a mic in hand

Karaoke as cardio? Believe it. On Chinese social media, singing has taken off as a weight-loss trend — with some fans claiming to torch up to 450 calories during energetic sessions. While some of that comes from singing and dancing, vocal workouts alone help strengthen your lungs, improve posture and keep you breathing steady. And if you hit a few off-notes? Laughing at yourself works the abs too.

Ready to belt out a number? Head to 8 Degree KTV Lounge at CSC @ Bukit Batok, where CSC members enjoy 10% OFF drinks at the 8 Degree Lounge from now till 31 December 2026. Bonus: a karaoke competition kicks off this June — perfect for those who want to belt it out with flair (and flair-ups of friendly rivalry).

Bounce your way to a stronger core

Trampolines aren’t just child’s play — at Bounce Singapore, adults get to jump, twist and slam-dunk their way through a high-energy workout that targets balance, coordination and core strength.  From ninja-style obstacle zones to dodgeball arenas and trampoline runways that lead into slam-dunk hoops, there’s plenty to explore. 

Just 10 minutes of bouncing is enough to fire up your abs, glutes and cardio system — and once you start, it’s hard to stop. It’s fitness, reimagined — and way more fun than crunches.

Nature walks that go the extra mile

Not a fan of muddy trails and rugged terrain? You can still enjoy the benefits of nature-based workouts — minus the mess — on Singapore’s elevated hiking paths like the MacRitchie TreeTop Walk and Southern Ridges Trail.

With well-maintained walkways, stairs and suspension bridges, these routes offer a scenic, low-cost way to work your glutes, calves and cardio system. Don’t be fooled — the inclines and steady pace make for a great all-body workout disguised as a leisurely stroll. Along the way, keep your eyes peeled for birds, monkeys, monitor lizards — and maybe even the odd snake. Just think of it as the most exciting gym without a membership fee.

Bonus cardio: hop on an Anywheel bike post-hike and ride to your next destination. From now till 30 June 2025, CSC members enjoy a FREE 1-day bicycle pass and 20% OFF the 30-day bicycle pass, capped at 100 redemptions per month.
