A New Era for NSmen Fitness!
Attention all operationally ready national servicemen (NSmen)! Starting October 14, your annual fitness assessments will no longer be held at the familiar Fitness and Conditioning Centre (FCC) at Maju Camp. Instead, get ready to experience the upgraded facilities at the new Central Manpower Base (CMPB)! This transition promises to take your fitness training to a whole new level.
What’s New at CMPB?
Announced through the OneNS mobile app and website, the move to CMPB means your Individual Physical Proficiency Test (IPPT) and National Service Fitness Improvement Training (NS FIT) sessions are relocating from the established Maju Camp at 39 Maju Drive to a more modern setting in Hillview Link. The CMPB FCC boasts an impressive 300m weather-resistant running track and a variety of amenities to enhance your training experience.
Seamless Transition for NSmen!
Don’t worry about changes to your booked sessions! All reservations from the Maju FCC from October 14 will be automatically transferred to the new CMPB facility—just 5.6km away and conveniently located near Cashew MRT station on Upper Bukit Timah Road.
More than Just a Fitness Hub!
The CMPB isn’t just about fitness; it is a comprehensive one-stop hub for all national service administrative needs. Officially opening to the public in September, it features a massive food court seating 700, a childcare center, a football field, and a 500m running trail accessible to the public!
A Legacy of Fitness at Maju Camp!
Maju Camp has been a cornerstone for NSmen’s IPPT fulfillment since 1991. Initially, the fitness test circuit included five stations: sit-up, standing broad jump, chin-up, shuttle run, and a 2.4km run. Over the years, this evolved to streamline the process to just three stations—push-up, sit-up, and a 2.4km run as of 2015. Now, with this shift, NSmen will still have access to four FCCs, including those at Bedok, Khatib, and Kranji, to accommodate their fitness needs.
Temporary Closure for Upgrade!
To ensure a smooth transition, Maju FCC will be temporarily closed from October 6 to 9, as well as on October 13. Get ready for a revitalized training experience at CMPB that promises to inspire your fitness journey!
