What each class involves
Quick HIIT is short bursts of high-intensity work built on calisthenics and bodyweight exercises for the core, upper and lower body, led by professional trainers. The Kallang pitches it at people working towards a healthier body or training for IPPT.
Dance Remix is a dance fitness workout set to remixed hits. KpopX Fitness simplifies K-pop dance moves and combines them with aerobic and toning exercises, so no dance background is needed. Circuit Training is conditioning work aimed at strength and muscular endurance.
Active Family is for parents with children aged 4 to 12. It uses fun-filled activities to teach physical and health education, build fundamental movement skills and promote parent-child bonding.
Two more weekly options
Great World runs a free HWE Zumba class every Thursday at its Office Outdoor Plaza, opposite the Central Lobby. The remaining dates are 19 and 26 November and 3, 10 and 17 December, and the class is listed in Healthy 365 under “HWE_Great World”. No start time is given, so check the Healthy 365 listing for it.
Its terms are strict. Latecomers and walk-ins are turned away, a session may be cancelled if nine or fewer people have registered one working day before, and anyone who neither turns up nor cancels the booking faces a seven-day booking penalty.
