SINGAPORE – Exciting news for operationally ready national servicemen (NSmen)! Starting October 14, they will no longer complete their annual fitness assessments at the familiar Fitness and Conditioning Centre (FCC) at Maju Camp.

Instead, brace yourselves for the modernized FCC at the Central Manpower Base (CMPB)! This stunning facility will replace the Maju Camp location, delivering a major upgrade in the fitness experience.

This major relocation was officially announced on the OneNS mobile app on September 16, revealing that all individual physical proficiency tests (IPPT) and National Service Fitness Improvement Training (NS FIT) sessions will now take place at the CMPB.

What to Expect at the New CMPB Facility!

The new CMPB FCC boasts a cutting-edge 300m running track designed to withstand all weather conditions, ensuring your fitness routine isn’t affected by rain or shine!

And don't worry about your previous bookings – they’re being smoothly transferred from Maju FCC to the CMPB location, conveniently situated about 5.6km away in Hillview Link, directly opposite Cashew MRT station along Upper Bukit Timah Road.

Unveiled to visitors in June, the CMPB is not just about fitness; it’s a one-stop hub for all national service-related admin matters, set to officially open to the public this September. With a 700-seat food court, childcare center, football field, and a 500m running trail available for public use, there's something for everyone!

Tradition Meets Innovation: A Look Back at Maju Camp!

The Maju Camp has been a crucial part of NS history since 1991, where NSmen used to tackle their yearly IPPT across five distinct stations. In 2015, this was modernized to streamline the experience to just three stations: push-up, sit-up, and the notorious 2.4km run.

As the Maju facility prepares for its transition, it will be closed from October 6 to 9, and again on October 13, ensuring everything is ready for your grand fitness debut at the CMPB.

So get ready, NSmen! Your fitness journey is about to step into a whole new world of possibilities!
