Forum: 30-minute usage guideline for gym machines updated

We thank the writer for his letter 'Users should not hog weight-bearing machines at gym' (April 8) and for championing the importance of shared responsibility and courtesy at our ActiveSG gyms. User feedback plays an important role in our ongoing efforts to ensure our gyms continue to meet the diverse needs and habits of the community. The 30-minute usage guideline was introduced originally to discourage prolonged use across all types of machines and encourage shared access, especially during peak hours. We recognise the need to fine-tune our approach based on current usage behaviours, and have updated the notices to clarify that the 30-minute guideline applies only to cardiovascular machines. Reminders encouraging gracious usage of gym machines will also be displayed. Our on-ground staff will continue to play an active role in monitoring equipment usage and encouraging shared access, especially for exercise machines that might be more popular. ActiveSG remains committed to providing safe, inclusive spaces where individuals of all abilities can pursue their fitness goals. We encourage all users to help foster a supportive and respectful environment where everyone can stay active and healthy together.
