SAFRA Tampines is my favourite branch 😄 simply because it has a competition pool with 2 continuous lanes for serious swimmers! The changing room is the biggest and most well-ventilated, so even after a hot shower (yes, hot water!), you won't perspire while changing (unlike TPY or Yishun). Well, whether it is cruisy depends on the weather (sunny means more 'peacocks'), timing and the crowd. However, the pool will be closed for major upgrading for 2 months, starting 15 July 2025 👎...

Well, it really is out of order till further notice. When it's been rectified, I hope patrons won't misuse it by pressing the switch on and off just to have steam pouring out of the vent when they first enter. The switch turns off automatically to regulate the interior temperature. 

Do you know if the steam room has been fixed?

Why do they need to upgrade when they are moving out! They moving to a condo infested area which don’t serve common army folks.

Gym area

At first look, I thought the machines are new, but mostly are old machines, just reconditioned the seats/cushions to all black (previously was maroon/reddish in colour). As I didn't use level 1 previously, looking around, I believe most of the old machines are still around and there are some new ones (likewise some new machines are available on level 2).

 

For level 2, while it looks 'brand new', you could still see the original state (worn out) of the old ones, but the Leg Extension and Leg Curl machines are new (see picture below). Overall it looks spacious than before and the flooring is not longer carpeted.

.....

 

Have not been to the gym for a while as I was out of town.

Hmm... did the Safra staff read my post here?   🤔

They did some touching-up for that 2 machines I mentioned previously (see image in my previous post quoted ☝️).

 

 

 

I was pleasantly surprised to see the touch-up (see image below).

The weight labels were 'newly pasted/labelled', that's a good move by the staff eh!

They also did a few labels for some of the other old machines, but not all old machines, I wonder why so...

For example, these other 2 old machines 👇, surely would need the touch-up too, haha.

New observation

Oh, just realised also that they removed the notice(s) on "No nudity" in the jacuzzi - that's a good sign too!

[crossing my fingers that they don't put it back, or put more restrictive notices, haha]

 

Happy - is what we should be, always.

Safra Tpy E1 after revamp looks like and classier! 
the steamroom new steam outlet near the door provides a good cover as really cannot see from outside due to the steam. Whoever that redo the steamroom point deserved a raise! Confirm it going to be the most cruisy gym.

Well, sorry to inform you that it’s out of order once again. It was working well last Thursday when I was at the gym. Unless patrons stop switching it on and off each time there isn’t any steam, the steam room will always be down.

That 'new' notice you mentioned is the bigger and black one right? It is actually the same one where they previously put it at the low wall between steam room door and the steps. Yes, I knew of that notice.

 

I was referring to the individual and separate notice that specifically targeting at jacuzzi users (on no nudity). Just hope they don't put it back, haha.

Huh, what?! When did you see that laminated sign? Haha.

 

My post was on Monday morning and my last trip there was Tuesday afternoon, there was no signage yet... Don't tell me the staff really read posts in this thread? Haha.   😱

[will check tomorrow if they also did touching-up to the other 2 machines in this case, haha]

😂 I noticed the new sign on Wednesday afternoon, but most users ignored the nudity clause.

Yes, of course, it is one thing to ignore the notice, but another when the staff comes around to make sure all members are following the rule. I had actually seen the staff (different staff) checking it on 2 separate occasions, so still need to be discreet about being nude eh, haha.

With reference to my previous post ☝️, updating the 3 points I mentioned:

  • The laminated "no nudity" notice (only for jacuzzi) is back, as @Dashy_Boy had said, it is even more elaborated than previous one before renovation, oh well... haha
  • The Pec Fly machine has touched-up done (see image below)
  • The Leg Press machine - nothing done

There is a possibility that one (or more) of E1 gym staff actually read this thread, or even the forum? Haha.

 

However, I rather it was because the gym member(s) providing feedback to them, that they did those touching-up (and just coincidentally, after I'd commented on those selected old machines).

[it wouldn't be good to know that they were actually reading this thread/forum eh, haha]

How do they check if u are naked when u r in the jacuzzi?  Did they actually tell people off if they see anyone naked ?

It is actually not difficult to tell if one is wearing any shorts underneath the water. I think if one doesn't cause any trouble, they pretty much leave you alone.

There were 3 of us in the jacuzzi. All nude just now at about 1+. Suddenly the staff came and said "Gentleman, are you wearing trunks? If not please leave the jacuzzi. Next time remember to wear trunks."

I was there in the jacuzzi and I was surprised to see the security is doing the check rather than the cleaner, it might imply they are serious about it.

So bad, they need to learn the Japanese onsen manner!

So.... the staff going around checking may not be coincidental... 

So the lesson to learn is... sometimes just act blur, keep quiet, don't bring up, don't mention, don't talk. Life goes on.

All the postings abt the signage gone and hopefully not coming back, and now back, throughout giving so many descriptive details... reminds me of the Chinese saying - 此地无银三百两. Sometimes, less is more.

aiyo, y e staff lidat.. can check which staff - the older chn, smiley.. or the thin, tall malay guy wif mustache.. or the young, new curly hair guy?

Isn't it clear? It's not about whether you wear trunks or not. It's just too obvious that people are just not respecting this place as a public place. There are just too many guys who play at this place as if it's a gay-only establishment. Respect the place and let the straights have their peace and time in the jacuzzi/steam room too. It's too obvious that something has happened and they have reported to the staff. 

 

So, these checks by security is to ensure some of the despos (young and old alike) behave. Can't take the hint meh?

 

Please lah, don't be so desperate can? There's a time and place for everything. If too horny, go somewhere like keybox or tenmen, or any where private.

1. When it comes to Guest accounts in BW, it is always best to take their words with a pinch of salt or to ignore them. 

2. The moment you share the location of your hot encounter here in this forum, that location will be filled with creeps in no time. The issue isn't always about their unattractiveness (fat, pot belly, unfit, old), but they are indiscreet, annoying and very desperate. ;) Always keep a secret.
