Yishun ActiveSG Gym is closed. ActiveSG lists the entire facility as shut from 1 October to 30 November 2026 for upgrading, maintenance or repair, with no further detail. The gym's normal hours of 7am to 10pm daily do not apply until it reopens.
If you hold a MyActiveGYM pass, you lose nothing. The pass works at every other ActiveSG gym, and the largest one in the country is two MRT stops away.

We read the notice on 5 October 2026. ActiveSG's live gym crowd page showed Yishun at 0% full that day, which fits a closed gym.
Closure dates can move. Before you travel to the gym in early December, check the facility page. If it shows no closure announcement, or the crowd page shows a percentage above zero, it is open again.
Where to train instead
All three alternatives open from 7am to 10pm daily and charge the same S$2.50 entry.
Bukit Canberra ActiveSG Gym, Sembawang. This is the obvious swap. It is the largest ActiveSG gym at 1,500 square metres, about 7 minutes on foot from Sembawang MRT, which is two stops north of Yishun on the North-South Line. It has HUR air-pressure machines, a swimming complex and a hawker centre in the same building. It is also popular: at 12:35pm on 5 October it was 67% full. Our guide to the Bukit Canberra gym covers it in full.
Yio Chu Kang ActiveSG Gym. Two stops south of Yishun on the same line. It was 53% full at the same time.
Woodlands ActiveSG Gym. Further north-west on the North-South Line. It was the quietest of the three at 39%.
Those crowd figures are one lunchtime, not a forecast. Open the crowd page before you leave and pick the emptier gym.
What the Yishun gym offers when it is open
ActiveSG describes Yishun ActiveSG Gym as a gym with exercise machines, free weights and functional training equipment, for both strength and cardio work. Its facility list names a free weights area, exercise equipment and 8 treadmills. It was formerly called Yishun ClubFITT Gym.
A two-month closure for upgrading may change that list. We will not guess at what the works include, because ActiveSG has not said.
What entry costs at any ActiveSG gym
| Option | Adult, citizen or PR | Student or senior citizen |
|---|---|---|
| Single entry | S$2.50 | S$1.50 |
| MyActiveGYM peak, 1 month | S$30 | S$18 |
| MyActiveGYM peak, 12 months | S$300 | S$180 |
| MyActiveGYM off-peak, 1 month | S$15 | S$9 |
These rates are from the ActiveSG individual rates page, checked on 5 October 2026. The adult standard rate is S$3.30. Singapore citizens aged 65 and above enter free by scanning an NRIC at the entrance.
If you bought a monthly pass for Yishun, keep using it elsewhere. If you pay per entry and the longer trip means you will train less, do not buy a monthly pass until the gym reopens. Our guide to pay-per-use gyms in Singapore shows where the break-even sits.
If you do not want to travel
Two options keep you in Yishun.
Train outdoors. Fitness corners in the estate and in the parks nearby have pull-up bars and parallel bars. Two months of push-ups, pull-ups, split squats and carries will hold your strength. Our 20-minute home strength routine needs no equipment at all.
Use a commercial gym for two months. Check the contract length first. Budget chains price their lowest rate on 12 months, which makes no sense for a two-month gap. Ask for a rolling or short-term rate, and compare it with the bus fare to Sembawang. Our Singapore gym membership price index lists dated prices for the main chains.
