If you observe carefully, the sponser for such events is always the HPB, short for Health Promotion Board. I reckoned not many of us actually have heard about HPB of perhaps even if we have heard of them, may not know what's their role.
Here's a snapshot of who and what HPB does:
Established in 2001, the Health Promotion Board (HPB) has a vision to build a nation of healthy and happy people.
Although residents in Singapore today enjoy good health with high life expectancy and low mortality rates, we want to further improve our health status and continue to enjoy good health as we age.
To achieve this, HPB assumes the role of the main driver for national health promotion and disease prevention programmes. Our goal is to increase the quality and years of healthy life and prevent illness, disability and premature death.
HPB implements programmes that reach out to the population, specifically children, adults and the elderly. These programmes include health and dental services for school children, BreastScreen Singapore, AIDS Education Programme, CervicalScreen Singapore, Childhood Injury Prevention Programme, Mental Health Education Programme, National Myopia Prevention Programme, Physical Activity, National Smoking Control Programme, Nutrition Programme, Osteoporosis Education Programme, Workplace Health Promotion Programme, HPB Online, HealthLine, Health Information Centre and HealthZone. New programmes will also be initiated over time to address health concerns among the community.
A healthy nation comprises people who can embrace life fully. HPB is committed to helping residents in Singapore attain optimal health through our health promotion and disease prevention programmes

Anyone intending to take part in the sessions?
I am really surprised that HPB has so many events and programmes going on. Seems like Singaporeans are really pampered for choices.
Want to know more about other programmes? Want to participate but staying far away from Bishan, which is the featured event venue?
You can find more events and programmes as below. Thanks Mr K.K Lee for introducing!

I would love to participate but I am staying far away from Junction 8and the timing is not good for my end too. Perhaps like what Keith mentioned, I should explore other programmes nearer my home.
But otherwise, the events looks tempting.
You going?
I should be there if time permits. Perhaps I would also rally some of my friends too!
haha, sorry I cant be there, it looks good, I will introduce them to my peers and relatives! Thanks for sharing.
I may pass by and see see look look... May not have the energy to work out after work.. update you guys again...
Hi, Tiong Bahru Plaza is also organizing a healthy lifestyle event: Healthy Lifestyle THE FUN WAY@Tiong Bahru Plaza (9 October - 1 November 2009.There's a series of healthy talks and wii games...
Looks like the HPB does have its share of critcism, as shown in this letter to the ST Forum.
The HPB ought to be leading the initiatives instead of following trends around the world.
