  "account": "HomeTeamNS members impacted by the shutdown of True Fitness and True Yoga gyms in Singapore can now apply for a complimentary three-month membership at Fitness Workz locations. The offer is exclusively for those who are Home Team national servicemen or officers. HomeTeamNS announced the initiative on September 18, aiming to ensure continued fitness access and support members in maintaining their routines during the transition. To activate this free membership, individuals must visit any Fitness Workz gym between September 16 and October 15, presenting their current True Fitness or True Yoga membership card, as well as proof of their status as a Home Team NSman or officer. Alternatively, they can visit the Fitness Workz booth at the REAL Run Race Entry Pack Collection event at Marina Square on September 19 and 20 for assistance with the enrollment process. True Fitness and True Yoga were abruptly closed down by their Hong Kong-based parent company, Kontafarma China Holdings, on September 10. The closure was attributed to market competition and financial difficulties. The Consumers Association of Singapore reported that affected members had reported losses exceeding $609,000 due to unused memberships and services.",
