NEX's October campaign is Your Fitness Playground, running through 25 October 2026 at 23 Serangoon Central. The mall is stacking a four-station challenge, a free HPB starter class, and a weekend for older residents in the same Basement 2 plaza and Level 1 atrium. Slots for the challenge are small. You redeem them the same day you spend.
How the NEXtreme Challenge actually works
The challenge sits at B2 Event Plaza, 12pm to 5pm, on two weekends only. 10 and 11 October are for NEXrewards members aged 55 and above. 17 and 18 October open to members aged 18 and above. Each session is 15 minutes. Each session takes 15 people. Coaches walk you through four stations: Ski, Sled Push, Row, and Farmer's Carry. Sports shoes are required. Late arrivals lose the slot. No makeup time.
Redemption is not at B2. Spend at least S$20 in a single transaction at selected stores, scan your NEXrewards QR at payment, then go the same day to the Level 1 Customer Service Counter near Paris Baguette. Bring photo ID that shows date of birth, for you and anyone you are redeeming for. Counter hours are 10.30am to 9.30pm, except 18 October, when the last queue ticket is 4pm. You pick the date and session there and leave with a NEXtreme Challenge eCoupon. That coupon is only valid for the slot you chose.
Caps from the official page: two qualifying transactions and four eCoupons per member for the whole campaign. A maximum of two receipts can cover those four coupons. Hypermarkets, supermarkets, beauty, hair, wellness services, and education or enrichment stores do not count. Finish all four stations and you get a goodie bag with a waterproof dry bag, a quick-dry microfibre towel, and a sports water bottle, while stocks last. Wet weather cancels the stations. Affected participants can still collect the bag at B2 Event Plaza.
Start2Move is the free class, and it is already running
Start2Move by the Health Promotion Board is a six-session physical activity programme for ages 18 and above. At NEX it is every Saturday, 10am to 11am, at B2 Event Plaza: 3, 10, 17, 24, 31 October and 7 November 2026. The 3 October class has already passed. The remaining five still sit in the same plaza as the challenge, an hour before the challenge opens on overlapping weekends.
Sign-up is on the Healthy 365 app: Explore, Events, search Start2Move, pick the NEX listing. NEX's own Start2Move page also points to HealthHub's Start2Move programme. The sessions cover upper-body strength, balance and flexibility, lower-body strength, and aerobic work, then a graduation workout. No mall spend is required for this one.
Active Ager's Day is a different room on the same weekend
10 and 11 October also fill the Level 1 Atrium from 10am to 8pm for Braddell Heights Active Ager's Day, run by Braddell Heights Grassroots Organisations. The official NEX listing is thinner than the challenge page. It names interactive booths, grants and support programmes, health talks, cultural performances, and scam-awareness talks.
A round-up published 3 October adds agencies on the floor: MSF, AIC, HPB, NHG, and Active Ageing Centres. Stage items listed there include Taiji Rhythmball, plus Sport Singapore's Active Health Mobility Assessment with a follow-along exercise. Mental-wellness booths named in that write-up include Viriya Community Services, a MindSmart quiz, and Silver Ribbon Singapore. Treat those extras as press detail, and confirm on the day at the atrium. The official page is the one to trust for hours and venue.
From 9 to 25 October, All Singapore Deals also reports a NEXtreme Lucky Draw: S$30 in a single transaction at participating stores, one chance per S$30, up to 10 chances a member per day, same store exclusions as the challenge. Draw date given is 28 October 2026, with 40 winners and more than S$10,000 in prizes, including an OSIM uErgoh chair and dining and eNEX vouchers. That mechanic is not spelled out on the main Fitness Playground page. If you are spending anyway, ask at the L1 counter whether the lucky-draw chance is automatic on the same QR scan.
Serangoon MRT (NE12/CC13) dumps you into the mall. B2 Event Plaza is the same level as the bus interchange link. If you only have one Saturday, 10 or 11 October is the dense day: Start2Move at 10am, Active Ager's Day upstairs until 8pm, and the 55-and-over challenge from 12pm if you already redeemed a coupon.
