ActiveSG is piloting gym orientation sessions for persons with disabilities at Delta Sport Centre on 28 and 29 November 2026, as part of the Enabling Lives Festival. Each session runs for 45 minutes with a fitness instructor, costs only the normal gym entry fee of S$2.50 for adult Singapore Citizens and PRs, and needs registration. Delta also hosts free walk-in try-outs in blind football, sitting volleyball, wheelchair basketball, bocce and FloorCurling over the same weekend.
The gym orientation pilot
The orientation is for persons with disabilities aged 18 and above, and the aim is to introduce the disability community to ActiveSG gyms. An instructor walks participants through the gym layout and the specialised equipment, including machines with removable seats for wheelchair users.

It is open to beginners with and without disabilities, though the organisers say it is not suitable for anyone who needs a wheelchair or walker to get around.
