Also, where are the best places to run???

Hi welcome! You can check out Safra Running Clubs. Where do you stay? There's 1 at Telok Blangah, Tampines, Yishun & Toa Payoh. I'm with Safra Mount Faber. We run every tues, thurs & sun. Usually doing more than 10km. Great club to meet runners & train. We are there to help each other improve our running. I completed my first marathon last dec! All credits go to my trainers there. :D

Are there changing rooms at the clubhouse ? Also, do I need to sign up as a member or anything or can I just turn up this evening ?

Cheers,

Jeremy

We use the swimming pool's toilet for shower. For changing, we use the toilet outside the gym. You can join us as a guest first. If you like it then you can join us as a member. We have discount priviledges on running shoes as a member. :)

Today? Oops we are not training today cos most of the runners just came back from the KL 30km run.
