More than just a competition, BOPC is a celebration of the people and community that have powered Anytime Fitness' growth to *150 clubs across Singapore*. The one-day festival embodies the brand's belief that fitness is better when experienced together, and reflects the kampong spirit that continues to unite members across neighbourhoods islandwide.

"With the opening of our 150th club, we wanted to celebrate how far we've come, and who we've built this for. Battle of the Purple Champions is our way of bringing that kampong spirit to life, uniting members and non-members alike through shared strength and purpose," says Ryan Cheal, Group Chief Operating Officer of Inspire Brands Asia, Exclusive Master Franchisee of Anytime Fitness across Singapore.

*Train For Your Life: Starting the Year with Purpose*

Anchored in Anytime Fitness' regional *Train For Your Life* campaign, BOPC invites everyone, from seasoned gym-goers to first-time movers to approach fitness with intention rather than perfection.

Designed as a powerful way to kickstart the new year, the festival encourages participants to build everyday resilience through consistency, connection, and enjoyment. Each challenge reflects real-life movements that support strength beyond the gym.
