A New Community Fitness Event to Kick Off 2026
Anytime Fitness is set to make a bold start to the new year with its inaugural large-scale fitness festival, Battle of the Purple Champions, happening on 31 January 2026 at OCBC Square. Marking the brand’s milestone of reaching 150 clubs across Singapore, the festival aims to celebrate movement, community spirit, and the shared goal of helping people train for everyday life.
Designed for both seasoned gym-goers and total beginners, the festival encourages participants to move with intention rather than perfection — a message that aligns with Anytime Fitness’ regional wellness campaign, Train For Your Life.
A Four-Station Challenge Inspired by Real Life
At the heart of the festival is a fun yet functional team-based competition with four stations that mirror everyday movement patterns:
Moving Day
Teams rearrange furniture according to a layout, testing communication, coordination, and strength.
Sandbag Shuffle
Participants lift, load, and push sandbags along a sled track, building full-body power.
Bike Race
Each team member cycles 2km with added resistance, emphasising pacing and teamwork.
Champion’s Climb
A stair-climbing finale with kettlebells and obstacles — the ultimate test of grit and resilience.
The challenge is open to teams of four, encouraging collaboration, camaraderie, and the classic Singapore kampong spirit.
More Than a Competition: A Fitness Carnival for All
Beyond the main arena, Battle of the Purple Champions features a vibrant, family-friendly atmosphere with:
- Carnival-style games
- Mini fitness challenges for spectators
- Live demonstrations
- Pop-up wellness and lifestyle vendors
- Complimentary refreshments for both participants and supporters
- On-the-spot prizes, giveaways, and lucky draws
