More than just workouts and matches, sport is about connection. Here’s how HomeTeamNS is bringing members together through shared sporting experiences—from community runs to watch parties that turn strangers into comrades.

More than just workouts and matches, sport is about connection. Here’s how HomeTeamNS is bringing members together through shared sporting experiences—from community runs to watch parties that turn strangers into comrades.

Let’s be real: hitting the gym alone can be a drag, and if you do a sport like pickleball, you need people to match with you. This also holds true even when you’re doing a non-active sport-related activity like catching the biggest football tournament of the year. Watching it by yourself on your couch hits very differently than cheering at a big screen alongside an electric crowd of fellow football fans.

You get the drift. At HomeTeamNS, we believe that being active or simply cheering for your fave football team is always better when you do it with a crew. That’s why our clubhouses at Khatib, Bukit Batok, and Bedok Reservoir are designed and equipped with the right facilities to bring you and your mates together.

Whether you’re a marathon chaser, a gym regular, or a die-hard football fan looking for a watch party, here’s how you can find your tribe and break a sweat with us.

1. RUN TOGETHER FOR A CAUSE: REAL® RUN 2026

There’s a special kind of camaraderie that happens when you endure a long-distance run with hundreds of other people in tow. If you’re looking to join a race to train for your next marathon or just want to immerse yourself in a community run experience, the upcoming 30th edition of REAL® Run is the perfect target. 

Taking place at Punggol Digital District, this year’s REAL® Run will be split into the usual 10km and 5km categories. Alternatively, if you’re bringing your kids and grandparents along, you can opt for the breezy Fun Walk instead. Regardless of your choice, you’ll get a race pack chock-full of goodies to go with your run or walk.

That’s not all! If you participate in the 10km category and place in the top three for your age group, you stand to win podium prizes of up to $300 cash and attractive sponsored products.

P.S. Early bird sales will run from 10 June to 15 July 2026, so make sure to secure your slots fast to lock in the best rates!

Make this year’s REAL® Run even more special by going beyond the finish line and run with heart. Support “Stronger Communities, Brighter Lives”, a fundraising campaign by HomeTeamNS’ adopted charity, Fei Yue. Your contribution will help to uplift vulnerable groups, from families in need to at-risk youths and marginalised seniors. Simply add your donation when you sign up for REAL® Run. HomeTeamNS members who have signed up for REAL® Run can retrieve your Registration ID from your confirmation email, then proceed to donate via the public registration portal under “Registration Add-on” to make your run count for more. Be part of our goal to raise $10,000 together.

2. THE ULTIMATE WATCH PARTY: THE BIG GAME

Working up a sweat is great and all for bonding with your mates, but you don’t have to play a sport to form a community. Sometimes, all you need to do is join a watch party for one of the world’s biggest football events.

From 12 June to 20 July 2026, all three HomeTeamNS clubhouses will host FREE live screenings of the tournament, bringing the adrenaline and excitement of the stadium right here to Singapore. Open to the public, seating is available on a first-come, first-served basis.

Catch the full football fever at HomeTeamNS Khatib, which will screen 84/104 (~80%) of all the matches, while HomeTeamNS Bedok Reservoir and HomeTeamNS Bukit Batok will play host to select key match screenings (up to 28 matches each), including the Semi-Finals and Finals.

If you’re a HomeTeamNS member, the deal gets even sweeter. During the live matches, enjoy a range of activities across selected match days at the respective clubhouses—from family carnivals and sports-themed trading card activities to shopping fairs and pop-up sales. On top of that, members can look forward to football trivia contests, special F&B promotions, and exciting lucky draw prizes.

Date: 12 June – 20 July 2026

Built with premium playing surfaces to withstand the intensity of the sport, HomeTeamNS Khatib’s pickleball courts are open to one and all, regardless of skill level. So don’t worry if you’ve never played pickleball before; simply pick up a paddle, gather a few of your kakis, and you’re ready to have a blast!

4. OFFICE ESCAPES: AQUA SPORTS AT HOMETEAMNS BEDOK RESERVOIR

If you’re working in a regular 9-5 and are tired of the usual team bonding fare of visiting the zoo or the museum, it’s time to splash things up with HomeTeamNS Bedok Reservoir’s Aqua Sports.

Connected to—you guessed it—Bedok Reservoir, you and your office kakis get to take your pick from one of two water orientation activities: Kayaking or Dragon boating. Swap your laptops for paddles and say goodbye (briefly) to office hierarchies, as you’ll need to work together to keep your boat upright to sail through the scenic waters of the reservoir.

Shoot an email to aquasports@hometeamns.sg to make a booking for your team today.

5. THE DAILY SWEAT: HOMETEAMNS FITNESS WORKZ GYMS

Prefer a different kind of sweat session? You can simply stick to a good ol’ strength training sesh by heading over to any Fitness Workz gym located at all three HomeTeamNS clubhouses.

Fully decked out with the usual array of gym essentials, including cardio machines, functional training zones, free weights, and barbells, Fitness Workz gyms are perfect for you and your buddies to train for your dream physiques. Swimming pools are also available at all clubhouses for those days that you want a change of pace from your usual gym routine.

If you’re the type that thrives on the energy of working out alongside others, sign up for group fitness classes to give yourself that extra push to clock your workout with other like-minded folks. Home Team NSmen can also train at their own pace and clock NS FIT sessions at any Fitness Workz gym.

And when you’re done with your workout, hit the steam rooms and showers to unwind and refresh yourself before continuing your day.

Membership fees are, of course, discounted for HomeTeamNS members. From 1 July 2026, a 12-month package for all access to Fitness Workz gyms will start as low as $519.27.
