Looking for a fun and affordable way to stay active while spending quality time with your significant other? Singapore offers a plethora of exciting fitness activities that won’t break the bank, especially with extra savings for SAFRA members. Here are six ideas to get you going.
Bouncy bonding
Getting bored with reps at the gym? Embrace the energy of a jumping fitness class instead. The high-intensity, low-impact rebounding workout burns three times as many calories as running, while remaining easy on the joints. When done right, regular jumping also leads to improved muscle tone, lung capacity, physical endurance and cardiovascular health.
Get your bounce on with the original Jumping Fitness classes at selected SAFRA clubs. Conducted by social enterprise Jumping Singapore, a single trial starts at just $15. Combining elements of aerobics and trampoline exercises with professional Jumping® Profi trampolines, the addictive rebounding routines will leave you both breathless and laughing.
SAFRA members enjoy 5% off shareable packages of 8 sessions and above at Jumping Fitness in SAFRA Choa Chu Kang, Jurong & Punggol; more info at safra.sg/whats-on/jumping-fitness
Currently available at SAFRA Choa Chu Kang, SAFRA Jurong & SAFRA Punggol

Rock-climbing rendezvous
Conquer new heights in your relationship with a shared adrenaline rush. Rock-climbing is a challenging yet rewarding activity that can strengthen your bond both physically and mentally. Work together to conquer a challenging route, encourage each other through difficult sections, and celebrate your victories as a team. With so many indoor and outdoor rock-climbing facilities available, it’s easy to get started.
At Climb Central, for instance, you can experience bouldering, top rope climbing, lead climbing and auto-belay on rock walls from 4 to 16m high in cool indoor environments. For first timers, $38.15 covers a one-time adult admission and the rental of climbing shoes and harness. Simply walk in, sign up, attend a mandatory 15-minute safety briefing, and start climbing for as long as you like.

Stretching soulmates
Here’s one to consider for lovebirds who lead hectic and stressful lifestyles. Enhance your flexibility, improve your balance and deepen your connection with your partner through a couple yoga class. As you flow through synchronised poses, learn to trust and support each other, and reap the calming effects of yoga together.
If you’re not sure if yoga is for you, you can try free classes, such as those organised by HPB via the Healthy 365 mobile app, or Yoga Seeds at Bishan-AMK Park every second Sunday. Many studios also offer trial packages, such as the three classes for $50 Intro Pass at Yoga Inc. This is a great way to explore its diverse class offerings, including beginner-friendly options like Basics, Hot Basics, Stretch and Yin yoga.
SAFRA members and servicemen enjoy a special rate of $188 for 10 classes worth $300 at Yoga Inc SAFRA Punggol; more info at safra.sg/promotions/yoga-inc-lifesg-credits-promotion

Cycling connections
A cycling date along Singapore’s extensive Park Connector Network is a three-way win. You’ll get a cardio workout while traversing lush greenery, serene waterways and vibrant cityscapes, allowing for uninterrupted conversation and quality time together. Choose a route that suits your fitness level and interests, from short loops to longer expeditions.
Some of our favourite routes originate from Changi Airport Terminal 2, an excellent starting (and ending) point for several reasons. Firstly, you can grab breakfast at Hub & Spoke Café and rent bicycles from GoCycling if needed. After exploring sights like the Changi Jurassic Mile and taking in sunset views from Changi Bay Point’s lookout pavilion, head back for a laidback dinner with live music at Overflow Bar.
SAFRA members and servicemen enjoy 10% off mountain bike rentals at GoCycling, as well as 10% off food and non-alcoholic drinks at Hub & Spoke Cafe and Overflow Bar; more info at safra.sg/promotions/gocycling & safra.sg/promotions/hub-spoke-overflow

Paddling paradise
Water sports such as kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding provide a full-body workout, engaging your core and improving balance and coordination. Besides, they’re also super easy to pick up and make for a fun day out by the beach. For an exhilarating date, head to Ola Beach Club on Siloso Beach and experience these water sports firsthand.
Rent tandem kayaks or stand-up paddleboards and explore the coastline of Sentosa from another angle, experiencing the thrill of propelling yourselves through the water. Don’t worry if it’s your first time, as guides are on hand to help you get the hang of it, plus you’ll have life vests on. When you’re all paddled out, glide back to shore and chill out over Tiki cocktails and Hawaiian-inspired cuisine.
For more savings on Ola Beach Club’s watersports activities, make your bookings via Klook. SAFRA members and servicemen enjoy up to 10% off sitewide; more info at safra.sg/promotions/klook-sg

Trailblazing temptations
If you prefer keeping your feet on terra firma, then lace up your shoes, slap on some sunscreen and take to the many walking trails around Singapore. Whether you choose to navigate hilly terrain and rocky quarries, search out scenic views on treetop walks, or follow trails from coast to coast, hiking together offers a unique blend of adventure and intimacy.
Or why not embark on a hiking expedition to Singapore’s idyllic southern islands? A single ferry ticket lets you go island-hopping across St John’s, Lazarus, Kusu and the newly reopened Sisters’ islands. Hike biodiversity-rich trails and floating boardwalks, and even track down hidden hideouts within the pristine rainforest. Then find a secluded spot along sandy beaches and have a romantic picnic to bring your date to the perfect conclusion.
Make sure to wear suitable footwear for hiking. SAFRA members and servicemen enjoy up to 15% off at Asics, Bata & Skechers stores; more info at safra.sg/promotions/Asics-stores, safra.sg/promotions/bata & safra.sg/promotions/skechers-2025
