Dynaforce, the exclusive Technogym distributor in Singapore, has entered into a joint venture with the Singapore government to set up a gym in Woodlands Polyclinic – the first medical gym created as a joint venture between the Singapore government and a private company.

The polyclinic, which has re-opened following a major renovation project, is a state of the art medical wellness centre run by the National Healthcare Group Polyclinics (NHGP).

The 186sq m (2,000sq ft) gym, which officially opens this month, will be run jointly by NHGP and commercial gym operator Dynaforce.

The new gym features Technogym CV and strength equipment including Kinesis, Easy Line and Flexability. It will be open to all local residents, not just polyclinic patients – although one of the objectives is to prevent diseases that may later require medical attention. The gym will open into the evenings, beyond polyclinic opening hours, so office workers can use it. It will also be priced more competitively than other local gyms.
