The public gym in the Lakeside area is Jurong Lake Gardens ActiveSG Gym, at 30 Yuan Ching Road, Singapore 618664. It opens from 7am to 10pm every day, and one entry costs S$2.50 for an adult Singapore citizen or permanent resident.

Its best feature is not on the equipment list. When we checked ActiveSG's live crowd page at 12:35pm on Monday 5 October 2026, this gym was 24% full. Only one of the 30 public gyms was quieter.

The gym is part of ActiveSG Park, which the National Parks Board describes as sitting at the south of Jurong Lake Gardens. The park also has a swimming pool, workout classes, a wheelchair-accessible rooftop garden and an exercise playground.

The facility page showed no closure announcements on 5 October 2026.

What is inside

ActiveSG lists HUR machines at this gym. They use air pressure for resistance in place of a weight stack, so the load starts light and rises in small steps. That suits older adults, beginners and anyone training around an injury. Our guide to gyms for seniors in Singapore explains why it matters.

The gym is on the ground floor with an accessible toilet inside it, which is the simplest access of any ActiveSG gym we have looked at. There is no lift to find.

ActiveSG does not publish a full equipment list or a floor size for this site. Visit once before you plan a programme around a particular rack or machine.

How quiet is it?

One lunchtime is not a pattern, and evenings are busier everywhere. Still, a gym inside a garden, away from a town centre, has fewer people walking past its door. Check the live crowd page before you leave. If this gym shows a low number at 7pm, it is worth the extra travel.

What entry costs

These rates are from the ActiveSG individual rates page, checked on 5 October 2026.

The pool beside it

Jurong Lake Gardens Pool shares the address and the phone number.

Pool detailWhat ActiveSG lists
Standard hours8am to 9:30pm, every day except Thursday
Early session6:30am to 8am on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, competition pool only
ThursdayClosed all day for weekly maintenance
Thursday public holidaysOpen 8am to 9:30pm
Pool typeNormal

It is a normal pool, so an adult swim costs S$1.00 on weekdays and S$1.30 at weekends. The page lists a ramp into the pool area, a pool wheelchair on request and a shower buddy service on request.

A weekday gym session and a swim cost S$3.50 together. Thursday is the day the pool is shut.

Make a morning of it

The gym sits inside Jurong Lake Gardens, so the warm-up can be a walk or an easy run by the lake. Two notes for families: the gardens' website lists Clusia Cove, the water play area, as closed for maintenance until further notice, and the play areas normally close on Mondays. Our guide to water playgrounds in Singapore has the alternatives.

Who should train here

It suits people in Lakeside, Taman Jurong and Boon Lay who want a calm public gym. It suits older adults and beginners, because of the HUR machines and the ground-floor access. It suits anyone who likes to pair a gym session with a walk or a swim.

It suits commuters less well. The gym is in a park and not beside a station, so it works best if you live nearby or drive. If you need a gym closer to a station, our guide to walk-in gyms in Singapore lists every public gym in the west.
