Why
us
AerobicsWorld is the only aerobics fitness facility in Tampines that
is sex friendly, where women and men can workout. This confidence is
reflected
in our open concept studio - there are no hidden corners or opaque
walls,
except the toilet / washroom. The affluence built into our workouts can
be tangibly seen by the fact that our instructors bio also include a
practicing
lawyer, an accounts grad, an architect, a staff nurse, a teacher and 2
university undergrads and the 2 instructors who introduced the first
STEP
Reebok, SLIDE Aerobics and Jump Aerobics classes in Singapore, - circa
1990.
More below.
AerobicsWorld uses all professional institutional aerobics
fitness
equipment :
- The Reebok STEP boards :
- AerobicsWorld was the first studio to use Reebok STEPs in
Singapore
and has the longest experience providing STEP Reebok workouts. The
Reebok
STEPs are 3 height adjustable giving the fullest range of movement and
exercise personalisation.
- The Professional SLIDE Trainers :
- The only hard body SLIDE Trainers, the only 7 feet boards, the
only
institutional boards in Singapore. They do not move during athletic
sliding
and have angled and inclined bumpers for foot safety and sliding
performance. Others use home-use roll -up Slides
which
run, ruffles
and suffer from build quality.
- Jump Ropes :
- These Jump Ropes are made for aerobics workouts use around the
world
for workouts.
- Exercise Mats :
- These are inert polyethylene mats cut for studio use. They hold
your
weight and does not sink. Being an inert material they do not smell or
absorb sweat or irritate the skin. Others use
home-exercise
mats or custom make their mats, usually too soft and cumbersome like a
mattress.
Support equipment & facility have been thought out for your
workout experience :
- Floor :
- AerobicsWorld uses wooden slant floors which duplicates real
life situation
for the feet and legs. Carpet have microbes
which
thrive on dead skin and hair cells left behind by exercisers. Suspended
floors like Airthrust hamper your stability, agility and timing. They
are
also not equipment friendly - Steps and Slides move or run on them,
suddenly.
- Hi-Fi :
- Our sound system is audiophile, selected for qualities to suit
the
studio. Special mention for our Bose AM5 (the original version)
reflective
speakers we have had since 1989. Music is balanced with expressive
soundstage
stamped with the trademark Bose bass.
- Mirrors :
- We are the only studio to use 6 feet accross and 5 mm thick
mirrors
for a true image so you see more easily. Don't
be
fooled by other studios with thin and 3 or 4 feet accross mirrors on 3
sides - the more warp mirrors the more stress on your workout.
- Toilet :
- AerobicsWorld's private toilet door is 3 steps from the studio
door
and within AerobicsWorld, just hop in and out in your leotards. This is
especially helpful to postnatal exercisers who have difficulty holding
their bladder during exercise. Others have
public
toilets far away in very public areas or in a lonely corner of the
building.
Regular holding of going to the toilet can result in gal stones,
toxication
or/and leaking.
- Air-con :
- We use window unit air-cons cooling air
directly
from the outside environment, so air is always fresh and never
recycled,
vital for people with asthma, hayfever or sinuses. Our ventilation is
never
stale or tainted with mildew and other pipe or duct inhabitants.
- Sunlight :
- The studio basks in sunlight during the
morning
and early evening classes, flowing thru our front door and the windows.
Exercising in sunlight in aircon is unavailable elsewhere.
User friendly stuff makes AerobicsWorld
practical
:
- Sick, travel, maternity :
- We have been giving workout reprieves
since 1990.
- Telephone :
- Child-minding :
- Toddlers and children can wait at our reception area with other
kids
and toys. Our staff look after their safety and comfort.
- Class size :
- All classes have a capacity. We don't mark the floors for STEP
placement
to pack exercisers in.
- Class cancellation :
- We have no minimum class size, so we don't cancel classes.
- Reception staff :
- Staff are not paid a commision to enrol you, or to encourage
you to
buy more stuff.
- Advice :
- Advice is always available, just ask. Also unique to
AerobicsWorld,
we usually have a free instructor observing your workout from outside
like
a guardian angel and if necessary will give you professional advice
even
if you didn't ask.
