If you've been meaning to try Pound Fitness but keep finding excuses, here's your nudge: every Wednesday from 7 Jan to 30 Dec 2026, Chinatown hosts a 7.30pm–8.30pm class that trades boring gym routines for drumstick-fuelled cardio. At S$11.58 a session, it's cheaper than a spin class and way more fun — expect to leave sweaty and grinning. Book ahead, because these classes have a way of filling up.

NO SWEAT CHIMI RUN is for the weekday warriors who like their exercise with a side of skyline. Starts 10 Mar 2026 at 7pm from 70 Collyer Quay, and it'll keep jogging every Tuesday till October — so you can dip in once or make it a habit. At S$6.34, it's one of the most affordable ways to get moving in the CBD. Just show up with your running shoes and a bit of energy.

For a weekend that feels like a mini escape, the Magical Island Adventure at Sentosa's Southernmost Point of Continental Asia is your ticket to summer vibes. Running from 23 Jun to 20 Sep 2026, it's got something for everyone — and with prices from free to S$10, it won't break the bank. Perfect for families or anyone who wants to soak up island life without flying anywhere. Grab a pass and make a day of it.

Sunday runners, listen up: El Chido's Monthly Sunday Run kicks off 19 Jul 2026 at 6pm, and it's not your average jog. Starting at El Chido, the run rolls from 6–8pm with prices between S$9.49 and S$30.44 depending on what you sign up for. It's a social run with a relaxed vibe — think less race, more group therapy with endorphins. Whether you're a seasoned runner or just want a reason to be outdoors, this one's worth lacing up for.

Race fans and petrolheads, this one's for you: The F1® Exhibition Singapore roars into Gardens by the Bay from 23 Jul 2026, bringing the sport's history, tech and drama to life. With tickets from S$29 to S$49, it's a solid pick for a weekend activity that's equal parts educational and adrenaline-fueled. Whether you're a die-hard fan or just curious about the hype, this exhibit promises to be a pole-position experience.
