350 of Malaysia’s Fittest Come Together at Under Armour Combine 2024

The Under Armour Combine returns for its third year, uniting 350 athletes at Sentul Depot in Kuala Lumpur to celebrate community spirit and athleticism while embodying Under Armour’s motto, ‘Protect This House.’ Participants faced a series of eight challenging tests—agility, stamina, vertical leap, power, endurance, strength, speed, and cognition—pushing their physical boundaries in pursuit of the winning prize.

Samantha Lim, Commercial Director of Under Armour Malaysia, emphasized the event’s impact: “UA Combine is designed to inspire people to push their boundaries. Today, we not only witnessed an impressive display of grit and determination but also the incredible team spirit among this closely-knit community of athletes, which embodies what Under Armour stands for.”

Each of the eight tests was overseen by a team of expert judges from Celebrity Fitness and athletes were able to keep their energy high with the support of Gatorade, Under Armour’s event partners for the day.

The competition recognized two categories of winners—one for the male division and one for the female division—who each walked away with coveted prizes of RM 15,000, RM 7,500, and RM 3,000, respectively, along with individual category awards for each challenging test. The Champions in each category were also gifted a Hypervolt GO 2 massage gun from Hyperice, UA Combine’s recovery partner who also provided athletes with a recovery space.
