Can a trainer come to your home or condo in Novena and Balestier?
Yes, and for most people here it is the simplest setup. The area mixes condos around Novena, Thomson Road and Moulmein with HDB flats in Whampoa and along Balestier Road. A coach brings portable kit for a flat or living room, or uses your condo gym's racks and dumbbells.
Check your condo's MCST rules for outside trainers first. If they are restricted, the session moves to your unit or outdoors. How that works is on the condo gym training page and the home personal training page.

Who are the coaches covering Novena?
The cards at the top of this page are the coaches who list Novena in their own service areas, read live from their profiles. Coaches who list neighbouring estates (Newton, Stevens, Toa Payoh, Farrer Park, Boon Keng) appear further down as nearby options, because they travel in rather than live and work here.
Each card shows the coach's own rate and the bodies that certified them. What we check before a coach takes a client is on how to choose a personal trainer.

Where can you run and train outdoors near Balestier?
At Novena Park and on the park connectors. Novena Park, along Jalan Novena, is open 24 hours with fitness equipment and a jogging track, which suits short circuits near the MRT. NParks lists the Whampoa Park Connector at 4.49 km, starting at Jalan Rajah and running through Kim Keat, Whampoa and St George's to Bendemeer Road, where it meets the Kallang Park Connector.
That one runs 7.87 km along the Kallang River from Bishan Road to Sims Avenue, so a session can start at your block in Whampoa and build to a longer route without crossing a main road on foot. In the heat, book before 9am or after 6pm, and keep the strength work for your condo gym or living room.
Can you bring a trainer to the Toa Payoh ActiveSG gym?
Not without written approval. ActiveSG's facility rules do not allow outside personal trainers to coach in its gyms unless the trainer has prior approval, so the Toa Payoh gym works for your own workouts between sessions rather than for coached ones. The full rules for ActiveSG, SAFRA, Gym Pod and the chains are in training with a personal trainer at a public or commercial gym.

At your home (HDB or condo unit) or your condo gym, usually with no venue cost. Some condos ask an outside trainer to register or pay a fee, so check with management first.

Nearby parks include Novena Park and Istana Park. 1 coach lists outdoor sessions. Confirm the setting, venue permission and availability with your chosen coach. ActiveSG's rules do not allow personal training in its gyms without its prior written approval, so use an ActiveSG gym for workouts on your own between sessions.
