Will EnergyOne gyms be overcrowded arising from the PREP4NS initiative?

PREP4NS members will only be able to access E1 gyms during off-peak hours so as not to cause inconvenience to our existing E1 members. E1’s operating hours have also been extended to cater to the anticipated surge in gym users. In addition, SAFRA has also prepared contingency plans with partners to allow PREP4NS members to access external gyms, if the need arises.

Will E1 gyms’ extended hours be reviewed?

PREP4NS is a trial initiative by MINDEF and SAFRA. We will be constantly working to improve the trial as we review the responses. As such, SAFRA may revise the terms and conditions, including the operating hours during the course of this initiative.

Will the current equipment be able to handle the crowd?

We will monitor the overall E1 gyms’ utilisation, and adjust the hours and equipment accordingly to ensure optimal use of resources.
