Hiting the gym can hit your wallet

Click HERE for article....

Lifestyle options need not always be cheaper than medicine, as the above link shows...Singapore's gym membership costs are among one of the highest in the world's major cities....Note however, the possible rebuttal/evaluation that in Singapore, highly affordable public sports facilities have been built by the govt to encourage healthy lifestyle....these are usually free or cost very little.....juz look at the fitness corners and public pools.....ClubFit Gyms run by Singapore Pools only charge $2.50 per entry! There's also the ActiveSG $100 credit given by the govt to all Singaporeans to be used in public sports facilities.

If you have done the 2011 'A' level compre on green spaces, one argument put forth by students in the AQ is that our hot tropical climate causes us to retreat to the gyms for keeping fit instead of exercising in the humid, scorching heat outside among the green spaces....use the high gym fees to refute this
