Get fit & have fun with new health & wellbeing classes in SG!

The wellness landscape is constantly evolving, and that’s what makes the options for looking after your health more accessible (and more fun) than ever. Gone are the days when a Jane Fonda workout or a grunty gym routine are all you can do for exercise. Today, many ways of getting fit prioritise creativity and trying new things. Away from ANZA’s sports and interest groups, there’s no shortage of unconventional ways to work out. Here’s a look at some of the most unique ways to break a sweat in Singapore, along with what’s new in the ever-changing world of wellbeing. Legwarmers optional.

UFIT’s Ignition Programme

Want to get a more holistic overview of your health? UFIT have launched a new Ignition Programme to help people understand what each individual needs, as opposed to a one-size-fits-all plan. Data is compiled through oxygen testing, body composition analysis, and movement screenings. “Body composition is still an important part of the puzzle, but real progress is about feeling great, getting stronger, and building long-term health,” says Declan Halpin, CEO, UFIT Health and Fitness. “This programme looks beyond the weighing scale and uses wearables and assessments to track what matters, like how well somebody moves, their fitness levels, and their overall wellbeing.

Luxury living, officially re-defined

  •  Sponsored Content 

Every industry has its maverick. Its boundary-pushing, big-dreaming visionary that sees the status quo and thinks ‘this can be so much more’. There’s risk, there’s challenge, there’s undoubtedly naysaying, but ultimately, those are the essential ingredients of a true maverick.

At 10 years old, Tim Gurner – one of Australia’s best-known figures in property development – had his first inkling that building, developing, and creating worlds within worlds would be his calling. As workmen churned bulldozers through his family’s backyard, and landscapers transformed the flat and banal into the leafy and beautiful, Tim was captivated; a passion ignited.

As Founder and Director of GURNER™ Group, founded in 2013, Tim and his team of more than 500 have spent the past 12 years redefining Australia’s understanding of not just living, but living in luxury.

“GURNER™ Group believes true success is living the ultimate life, and we’re building the places – worlds within worlds – that make that possible.”
Tim Gurner

Urban transformation

Beginning with boutique luxury residences and town homes, GURNER™ Group has evolved into a global luxury lifestyle brand, driven by an unrelenting obsession with innovative architecture and design, and an insatiable appetite for presenting ‘luxury’ in unique, highly experiential ways.

From the opulent beachside Saint Moritz in Melbourne’s St Kilda, which redefined the Australian luxury landscape, to the industrial refinement of Victoria & Vine in Melbourne’s characterful suburb of Collingwood, each project showcases GURNER™’s unique architectural innovation, its commitment to unparalleled luxury, and its deep appreciation for urban transformation.

The impending landmark rebirth of Melbourne’s iconic Jam Factory exemplifies GURNER™’s ability to transform historic sites into modern masterpieces, creating vibrant communities that resonate with contemporary lifestyles. On the near horizon also, GURNER™’s highly anticipated arrival in Sydney, on the harbourside, no less.

Enriching lifestyles

Ultimately, GURNER™ Group’s mission is to elevate how people live, connect and thrive. It’s a mission that reaches far beyond property development, and into the realm of how to live a better life. It’s about more than building beautiful homes; it’s about enriching lifestyles.

In 2021, Gurner launched GURNER™ Wellness, a bold expansion of the brand into health, longevity and peak performance. Through exclusive members clubs, Saint Haven and SAINT (with a current member waitlist of 15,000), this has reimagined what modern wellbeing looks like: prioritising physical health, social connection, mindfulness and mental wellbeing, these clubs are at the forefront of a global revolution.

Core elements, features and design inspiration from each GURNER™ Wellness offering are woven through the Group’s residential and mixed-use precincts, resulting in breath-taking wellness and anti-ageing amenity, stunning design and unmatched six-star service.

Crafting a future

For Singapore’s discerning citizens and expats, the pursuit of exceptional living is a constant and has great synergy with GURNER™’s bold vision.

The city’s progressive urbanism and pioneering approach to wellness and sustainability have already influenced key GURNER™ projects – most notably GURNER™’s under-construction luxury precinct in Melbourne’s Docklands. Drawing inspiration from Singapore’s Gardens by the Bay and its innovative fusion of nature, technology and community, Elysium Fields reimagines what a city precinct can be: home to wellness residences, a hotel, and a world-class hospitality and dining experience.

With every project, from exclusive private clubs and grand and prestigious residences to mixed use projects offering breath-taking urban regeneration, GURNER™ is crafting a future where wellness is foundational, design is transformative, and exceptional quality is assured.

It’s an ambitious proposition – this is accessible luxury, steered by Tim Gurner’s passion in understanding and articulating what makes life extraordinary, creating inspiring spaces and places, allowing clients the ultimate luxury, an opportunity of living your best life.

As GURNER™ grows, it is now looking to Southeast Asia to share its story, choosing Singapore as its hub to offer some exclusive and unique Australian opportunities.

New Zealand High Commission pay tribute to Lee Kuan Yew

This year marks several important anniversaries for the New Zealand High Commission (NZHC) in Singapore. Amongst them is the 60th Anniversary of New Zealand and Singapore’s establishment of diplomatic relations, the second country after the United Kingdom to do so; the 50th Anniversary of the founding of ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) and poignantly, the 10th Anniversary of the passing of Singapore’s Founding Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew.

To mark Mr. Lee’s milestone anniversary year, NZHC organised a photo exhibition in the lobby of the New Zealand High Commission office building at One George Street. Held in March, the exhibition featured 12 photos that succinctly captured the enduring friendship between Singapore and New Zealand. It highlighted significant and cordial interactions between Mr. Lee and various New Zealand Prime Ministers throughout his tenure as Prime Minister, Senior Minister, and Minister Mentor. The exhibition served as a strong reminder of the robust bilateral ties between our two countries under his well-regarded stewardship.

The photographs, which we received from the National Archives of Singapore, captured key moments in the relationship between Singapore and New Zealand and depicted a journey marked by mutual respect and collaboration, but also deep personal connections that transcended diplomatic and state formalities. In many of the images, Mr. Lee, who is not known for being casual, looked the part of someone comfortable and relaxed in the company of New Zealand’s leaders.

“The exhibition succinctly captured the enduring friendship between Singapore and New Zealand'”

Reliable Ally

Mr. Lee’s fondness for New Zealand is well-documented, stemming from his view of the country as a reliable ally in a complex geopolitical landscape, its stable political environment, and its strategic importance, especially during times of regional uncertainty. This sentiment was echoed in many of the photographs on display, which captured moments of candid conversation and camaraderie between Mr. Lee and New Zealand Prime Ministers, including Mr. Walter Nash, Mr. Keith Holyoake, Mr. Norman Kirk, Mr. Robert Muldoon, Mr. David Lange, and Ms. Helen Clark, among others.

The exhibition also underscored the Singapore – New Zealand relationship on the trade, defence, people, and culture fronts. The Enhanced Partnership, established in 2019 and updated in 2024 further solidified these ties, showcasing a commitment to deepen cooperation across multiple sectors.

Visitors to the exhibition were moved by Mr. Lee’s interactions with New Zealand leaders, which were characterised by an openness to dialogue and a willingness to learn from one another, traits that continue to inspire Singapore’s current leaders.

This exhibition stands as a testament to Mr. Lee Kuan Yew’s enduring influence on Singapore’s foreign relations and his belief in fostering deep and strong ties with nations like New Zealand.

These are some of the incredible photos featured at the exhibition featuring Singapore’s Founding Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew with New Zealand Prime Ministers over the course of his leadership.

ANZA Soccer gives back to Cambodia

At ANZA Soccer, we believe in the power of sport to bring people together – not just on the pitch, but within the community as well. Over the years, our commitment to giving back has been a core part of our mission, with involvement in several initiatives. In December last year, we had the incredible opportunity to make a meaningful charitable donation, creating a tangible impact on the lives of young soccer players in Cambodia through a collaboration with Good Neighbors Cambodia (GNC).

GNC is an international humanitarian and development NGO, running in over 50 countries, that strives to make the world a better place without hunger and where people live in harmony. Operating in Cambodia since 2004, the initiative saw the donation of 86 soccer jerseys and shorts, as well as scrimmage vests, and socks to children at Toul Rokar Koh Primary School in Phnom Penh. The collaboration emerged after Good Neighbors shared photos of their newly constructed soccer pitch on social media, and ANZA member Rinka Perez (half Cambodian herself) saw the images and felt inspired to help.

Thanks to ANZA Soccer, the jerseys were gifted to the young soccer players at the school. Many of them had never had the opportunity to play in a full kit before. With an active and growing community of players, the donation of jerseys was a perfect way to support and enhance their enthusiasm for the sport. Eighty-one boys and girls aged 5 -11 received the donations, prioritising those who regularly got on the pitch.

“The Soccer jerseys serve as a reminder that others care about their future”

Sense of belonging

Many of the children had previously played in their school uniforms, limiting their ability to fully enjoy the game. The jerseys were sent to Cambodia with the hope that they would not only foster pride and excitement for the sport but also instil a sense of unity and support for the children.

“Being able to wear a new soccer jersey goes beyond improving comfort – it boosts players’ morale, encourages participation from both boys and girls, and generates a sense of pride and belonging,” explains GNC’s Grant Department Coordinator, Priscilla Kim Ong. “The jerseys serve as a symbol of the children’s dedication to soccer and a reminder that others care about their future. Receiving them provided a renewed sense of hope, giving the children the confidence to pursue their passions and believe in their potential.”

The donation was made possible through the generous efforts of the ANZA Soccer community, who understood the significance of getting proper gear to young athletes eager to pursue their sporting dreams. “Soccer has a special place in Cambodia and is loved by people of all ages. It’s something you’ll see played everywhere, from open fields to schoolyards, often with makeshift goals. It’s a fantastic way for kids to express themselves, challenge each other, and think big,” Priscilla continues. “For many children, soccer is a bright spot in their day. It gives them the chance to run, laugh, and enjoy a sense of freedom.”

The ANZA – GNC initiative has also been a super-fulfilling experience for ANZA Soccer, reinforcing the values of teamwork and empathy. By helping those who are less fortunate, ANZA Soccer has demonstrated its commitment to making a positive impact – not just in Singapore, but across borders. Collaborations like this remind us that in life we all have a role to play in lifting others up.

Players say thank you!
