Tone Up Power!
This hydraulic bench press, which can be found in many fitness corners, is great for toning and sculpting the upper body.
Without any weights attached, hydraulic fitness machines in these fitness corners rely on a fluid system to let users enjoy smoother and gentler movements. This also places less stress on the joints, resulting in a more enjoyable workout.
Bukit Gombak: Blk 531 Bukit Batok St 51
Hong Kah North: Blk 319 Bukit Batok Street 33
Using the bench press activates your entire upper body muscles – the triceps, shoulders, back and core.
Greater upper body strength improves muscular endurance and is effective for getting better at sports like sprinting and football.
These are some of the fitness corners in CCK Town equipped with hydraulic machines:
Brickland: Blk 489B Choa Chu Kang Ave 5
Bukit Gombak: Blk 531, Bukit Batok St 51

Get Your Body Pumping
A cardio workout, short for cardiovascular exercise, improves your endurance by strengthening your heart, lungs and muscles.
The goal is to engage in moderately intense physical activity that raises your heart rate into the zone where you burn the most fat and calories.
Did you know that using the elliptical can burn some 270 to 400 calories in just 30 minutes?
Unlike other popular but high-impact cardio activities like running, the elliptical is gentler on your knees, ankles, hips and other joints since your feet never lift off the pedals.
It also lets you work both your upper and lower body at the same time.
Here are some of the elliptical machines you can find in CCK Town:
Bukit Gombak: Block 513 Bukit Batok Street 51
Brickland: Block 489B Choa Chu Kang Avenue 5
Hong Kah North: Block 404 Bukit Batok West Avenue 7
Chua Chu Kang Estate: Block 229 Choa Chu Kang Central
Keat Hong: Block 483A Choa Chu Kang Avenue 5
An active lifestyle can boost your physical and mental health, giving you improved self-esteem, mood and energy. With such a big variety of equipment available in the many fitness corners spread out across CCK Town, it is never too late to get started on a fitter and healthier you!
