From fuss-free health screenings to Pilates with a million-dollar view, here’s why Minmed’s wellness offerings at Jewel Changi Airport should be on your radar.
While Jewel Changi Airport has long been our go-to for that stunning Rain Vortex backdrop, retail therapy sessions, and yes, those coveted Shake Shack burgers, there’s a fresh wellness scene emerging that deserves your attention.
We recently explored Minmed group’s wellness experiences at Jewel Changi Airport, and spoiler alert: they’re game-changers for anyone looking to squeeze self-care into their busy lives. Here’s what we’ve discovered!
The health screening that fits into your holiday plans
If you’ve ever put off health screenings because of the hassle (looking at you, 8-hour fasting requirement), this one’s for you. This is also fantastic for tourists who don’t want to spend their holiday hangry.
During our visit, we discovered that the screening requires no fasting – a welcome change that makes fitting a health check into your travel or weekend plans remarkably straightforward. The online booking system offers instant confirmation, eliminating the back-and-forth typically associated with medical appointments.

For those concerned about privacy, Minmed offers private screening suites that are exclusive to their Jewel location. These dedicated spaces ensure complete discretion and comfort throughout your health assessment. Their comprehensive health packages cover all essential aspects of wellbeing, making this a thoughtful addition to your self-care routine.
What sets this apart as a travel wellness essential is the quick turnaround. Blood test results are available in just one working day, with comprehensive reports delivered within a week. For tourists, this means potentially receiving your results before your trip ends.
Everything can be viewed on the Minmed Connect app, so you can check your results while sipping kopi at a hawker centre or waiting for your flight.
Tip: Book your appointment at the start of your trip (for tourists) or during a lunch break (for locals) since no fasting means you can fit it into your normal day without planning your meals around it.

Globally inspired Pilates Classes with a Waterfall View
Self-care isn’t just about medical check-ups, it’s also about maintaining your fitness routine while travelling. Minmed has partnered with Piladay Studios to offer Reformer Pilates classes that elevate this concept to a spectacular height, positioning you directly in front of the iconic Jewel Rain Vortex. The classes have become so popular that even locals are making trips to Jewel specifically for these unique wellness experiences.
As you stretch and strengthen, you’ll be facing the tallest indoor waterfall in the world—all 40 metres of cascading water that has become Singapore’s most photographed attraction. It’s a multi-sensory experience that transforms a regular workout into a memorable part of your Singapore journey.
What makes these Pilates sessions special are their globally inspired themes:
BALI BLISS (Beginner) – Relax and rejuvenate with yoga-inspired movements paired with mindful breathwork. This gentle class helps you reconnect with nature’s soothing sounds, perfect for finding inner calm after a long flight.
SEOUL SERENITY (Beginner/Intermediate) – Improve posture and flexibility through gentle core exercises and spine articulation, all while moving to K-Pop’s biggest hits. This class cleverly combines fun and fitness in every session.
LOS ANGELES ENERGY (Intermediate/Advanced) – Experience a full-body strengthening workout blending dynamic, high-intensity cardio and core exercises. The upbeat billboard hits keep you energised throughout this more challenging session.
SHANGHAI SCULPT (Intermediate) – Sculpt and contour your body with targeted moves for back, waist, butt, and glutes while grooving to Mandopop hits. This class offers effective toning with an entertaining musical backdrop.
These Reformer Pilates classes cater to varying skill levels, making them accessible whether you’re maintaining your fitness routine while travelling or a local looking to elevate your regular workout.
Tip: Check the Minmed website for the class schedule and book in advance. These slots fill up fast, especially during evening hours when the Rain Vortex light show happens. Also, wear something you wouldn’t mind being photographed in—you’ll definitely want to snap a quick pic or story for the ‘gram before or after class.
