Whenever the new year hits, many will create their New Year’s resolution list, and one of the most common resolutions will always be to lead a healthier lifestyle. While putting that resolution in your lengthy list is easy, sticking to it beyond the first few weeks or months is a whole other story.
I’ll admit I’m very guilty of that – going all guns blazing in the first month, eating healthily and also putting in a workout several times a week. But after a while, the excuses start creeping in with my most common excuse being that the gym or park is a tad too far for me to get my workout in.
If you’re searching for a new place to call home, and have a million and one excuses when it comes to working out just like me, you may want to consider places where there are multiple fitness amenities within the development, or where there are parks and gyms close by to make it easier for you to maintain a healthier lifestyle throughout the year and beyond. Take a look at some of our recommended spots to kick off your healthy lifestyle.
One Pearl Bank
When you’re located right smack in the middle of the park, like how One Pearl Bank is situated in the Pearl’s Hill City Park, you simply have no excuse not to get a workout in. Built around a reservoir at the top of the hill, the nine-hectares park is perfect for you to get a jog or casual stroll in, be it for workout or simply to enjoy the peace and tranquillity the area has to offer.
For days when you’re not up for a jog, you’ll have plenty of other options all within the condominium. If you’re up for some sun and a swim, you can dip into the swimming pool, or why not try the Aqua Gym or Hydromassage Pool. Alternatively, you can head up to the Prive Terrace on the 14th floor to enjoy a good yoga workout at the Yoga Deck, or to simply look after the health of your mind by meditating at the Meditation Corner.
The Florence Residences
At The Florence Residences, being lazy should never been an reason for you not to keep fit and healthy. Structured like that of an exclusive club, there are multiple facilities under one roof – 128 offerings as part of 12 clubs to be exact.
Health nuts will be most interested in the Youth and Fitness Club, where you can find a tennis and multipurpose court, a punching bag corner together with a sparring ring pavilion (what?!) and even a bouldering wall (!!!). Beyond this, there are multiple workout facilities for both the young and old too – where there’s a Kids’ Outdoor Fitness area and Trampoline at the Kids’ Play Club, and an Elderly Fitness area at the Island Club.
Treasure at Tampines
As we all know, health is wealth. So, what better way to treasure your health than at Treasure at Tampines (I’m sorry, I just had to).
If you’ve lost that inspiration to workout, you’re bound to find that motivation again whenever you come across the multiple health and wellness facilities that are easily accessible in and around the development, especially at the Play and Fitness area. Pick up a new sport at the Sports Court, breeze through the Skating Lane, or get a workout in at the Fitness Garden!
If you’re hoping for a change in scenery, simply step out of your condominium and walk on over to SAFRA Tampines, which is deemed the sports hub of SAFRA. Or if you’re willing to travel slightly further, why not head on down to Our Tampines Hub - Singapore’s largest integrated community and lifestyle hub, where there are multiple sports facilities for you to fit in a workout too.
The simple way to search for new launches
If your interest is piqued or you’d like to see what’s on offer online, you can easily do so via SRX’s New Launches portal. Here, you can simply refer to the New Project Insights to reference the percentage of units sold and launched, the average price, and average price per square foot (PSF), of various new and upcoming condominiums, all at a glance.
Once you’ve narrowed down your search to new projects down to fewer options, easily do a side-by-side comparison between up to 3 options as part of the Project Comparison platform, where you’ll be able to easily compare aspects such the condominium’s Temporary Occupation Permit (TOP), number of units and percentage sold to date, and the average unit size and PSF.
