Urban fitness in an armour of style
For the third year, high-performance sportswear label Under Armour held the annual “Test of Will” urban fitness challenge at SM Mega Fashion Hall to test and celebrate athletes, regular gym-goers, and brand ambassadors’ unstoppable will to beat the limits of their own physical and mental prowess — in four minutes.
Four hundred participants went allout in performing the most number of reps for this year’s circuit that consisted of Over and Under Hurdles, Deadball Squats, Kettlebell Farmer Walks, and Bear Crawls.
“Test of Will” is one platform in which Under Armour achieves its vision of breaking barriers, uniting, inspiring, and even changing the world through sports. In the Philippines, “Test of Will” celebrates Filipinos’ endurance performance, functional fitness, and training lifestyle. The modern and uniquely urban fitness challenge is accessible to everyone with the will to train and a drive for competition. Hence, in the country and beyond, “Test of Will” has grown this year from #IWILL to #WEWILL to enforce its “Together, we are stronger” battle cry. Under Armour ambassadors join forces in encouraging and motivating the participants to put their will to the test and assess their current fitness level through the “Test of Will” competition.
