Fitness Carnival 2024 was a hit with seasoned gym buffs and newbies alike, presenting a dynamic array of physical activities to energise the body and rejuvenate the mind.
If you think you’ve seen it all in fitness, think again! Over two days (25 and 26 May), HomeTeamNS Khatib hosted Fitness Carnival 2024, a weekend event that opened doors to a plethora of fitness experiences, ranging from high-energy Spin classes and Trampoline Fitness to more calming options like Stretching & Conditioning. Fitness Workz Premium, HomeTeamNS’ state-of-the-art gym at Khatib, also welcomed non-members just for the carnival weekend, giving everyone a chance to explore its wide range of fitness equipment and facilities.
It was my first time at a HomeTeamNS clubhouse and the buzz of activity piqued my curiosity about the day’s line-up. The most sought-after classes, Spin and Trampoline Fitness, were especially a hit, filling up soon after registration opened. I opted for the Yoga class, eager to see how this ancient discipline could enhance my fitness regime, typically dominated by more intense workouts. The session focused on hip strengthening, deep stretching, and mindful breathing, tailored for both beginners and seasoned yogis. After 45 minutes, I felt a newfound relaxation in my muscles, a pleasant contrast to my usual tension-filled routines.
Among the participants was Ms Bethany Kalember, a 24-year-old cheerleader, who attended the Yoga class to improve her flexibility — a critical element in cheerleading. Bethany, who recently signed up for a Fitness Workz membership, shared her thoughts with me, “I like that it’s spacious. The machines are varied and well-maintained, and the gym doesn’t get too crowded, even during peak periods,” highlighting the comfortable environment that Fitness Workz Premium offers.
Inspired by Bethany’s experience at Fitness Workz Premium, I made my way to the gym next and there was where I encountered Ms Rosaline Yeo, 45. She and her husband Mr Ray Ching, 46, were taking full advantage of the complimentary gym access, testing their limits on equipment that perfectly suited their training needs.
Both, avid athletes and first-time visitors to HomeTeamNS Khatib, are preparing for the Hyrox Fitness Race. The indoor competition combines running and functional workout stations, including sleds, treadmills, rowing machines, sandbags, medicine balls, and kettlebells — all readily available at Fitness Workz Premium. The gym’s excellent facilities also include smart electronic lockers and a steam room. Moreover, the Olympic-sized pool at HomeTeamNS Khatib provides a cool escape post-workout.
After their productive session, the couple contemplated signing up with Fitness Workz. Rosaline added that they enjoyed the supportive and friendly community within the gym. “Everyone is helping each other out and looking out for one another.”

Fitness Carnival 2024 shone with its inclusive approach, offering activities that catered to all fitness levels and interests. From dance-infused Zumba sessions to rigorous High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) set-ups, each activity was designed to ensure participants could engage at their comfort level.
Upon learning that I had not participated in Circuit Training for quite some time, the trainer provided me with lighter dumbbells and kettlebells, ensuring a fun and heart-pumping session without the risk of injury.
Such attention is essential for seniors like Mr Nobel Teo, a 73-year-old retiree new to Circuit Training. The sports enthusiast, who keeps active by playing badminton, running, and ballroom dancing, enjoyed the workout and found it adaptable to his fitness level. “My 92-year-old father is walking without a cane or walking aid. I aspire to be as healthy as him,” he said, underscoring his motivation to stay active and healthy.
