The annual urban fitness challenge, Test of Will, returns for its third edition on 7 and 8 April 2018 at Ngee Ann City in Singapore. Organised by high performance sportswear label Under Armour, the event sets out to celebrate human performance through intense functional training challenges for the most determined athletes, goal-getters and fitness aspirants.
Under Armour’s ultimate fitness challenge will be championing the will and vigour of Singaporeans. The highlight of this year’s Test of Will challenge includes the introduction of age categories to level the playing field (18-34 years, 35-44 years, and 45+ years). Most significant is that the minimum age to qualify is now 18 years, extending opportunities for more young fitness enthusiasts to put their will to the test.
Dialing up the intensity from last year, 2018 participants will compete in an all-new four-minute circuit challenge – Over and Under (Hurdle), Deadball Squats, Kettlebell Farmer Walks, and Bear Crawls – that will test their strength, endurance and power. Each competitor will be scored based on the maximum number of correct repetitions they can achieve within 60 seconds.
The Top 3 male and female athletes in each category will receive a limited-edition Test of Will 2018 medal. This year’s Singapore Test of Will champions (male and female) who achieve the highest overall score will walk away with a cash prize of SGD1,288 each.
Participants are encouraged to study the training guide for specific movement standards and tips to maximise their performance. They can also sign up for the Test of Will 2018 Training Camp, a brand-new training program from TripleFit consisting of group classes that are designed to refine technique and give them the fitness and game plan to tackle this year’s challenge with confidence.
