Venturing forth to ‘Cat city’ otherwise  known as Kuching, Under Armour Malaysia organised their free community workout at the Old Courthouse in Kuching, Sarawak.

More than 160 enthusiastic fans of Under Armour attended the inaugural Armour at the Park initiative which incorporated functional training, martial arts fitness, and core workout curated by gym partners The Gym Box, and further sessions will be conducted by Phoenix Gym.

The Gym Box is the largest health and fitness facility in Sarawak, and Phoenix Gym is Kuching’s cutting edge gym specialising in functional movement training.

According to UA Sports Malaysia Sdn Bhd Assistant Marketing Manager Lynn D Ong, Armour at the Park was a complimentary twice a month community initiative to encourage a healthy lifestyle among the public.

“Held over a two-hour period today (yesterday), participants were led through a well-rounded workout on functional training, martial arts fitness, and the ubiquitous core and abs workout,” said Ong.

“The carefully curated total body workout is based on a basic foundation workout with a twist of variation from a mixed combination of upper, lower body, and core movement, ranging from supersets to alternate movements,” explained Ong.

“This will help improve total body coordination with a repetitive change in direction that will also help to increase the intensity of the workout without increasing the weight of the equipment,” she continued.

Stay tuned for the next Armour @ the Park in Kuching on June 4th.
