With a new gym on campus, students are now spoilt for choice! Measuring 8,000 sq ft or the size of about seven 5-room HDB flat, GymWerkz offers the latest in lifestyle gym. With over 40 resistance and cardio machines catering to different needs, students get to enjoy top notch equipment commonly found in leading fitness centres like California Fitness and Planet Fitness. Special sectors are marked out for circuit, strength, cardiovascular and free weights training. A stretching zone and studio add to the variety. All in, GymWerkz easily accommodates up to 100 participants a session.

“The previous gyms cater mainly to sports-centric CCA groups, with students using free weights mostly. The set up then could be quite intimidating to beginners. With the new more user-friendly gym, we hope more students are now encouraged to exercise frequently,” explained Student Development & Alumni Relations Manager Ms Khaira Ching.

Users can even monitor their progress on the integrated health system built into the machines. Now NP students can now work out in style, without paying any membership fees!
