Battle of the Purple Champions, Anytime Fitness' much-anticipated strength competition, returned on August 25, igniting the spirit of community and strength once again. The occasion showcased the talents of its community members across the nation and celebrated the best in health and fitness. With challenges based on real-world situations, this year's competition offered something new and challenged competitors to go beyond standard training regimens.
Samuel Diones, John Kenneth Solonia, Danilo M. Quirabo Jr., Tristan Ivan Melgarejo, and Dexter Ansaldo were the winners of Team Anytime Fitness Ecoland Davao. With this triumph, they have now won three straight championships; they have also won in 2018 and 2019. In an astounding time of seven minutes and eighteen seconds, the team secured the victory.
Team Anytime Fitness Bacoor finished the course in 8 minutes and 44 seconds to take second place. Team Anytime Fitness Mall of Asia finished in 9 minutes and 2 seconds to take third place.
Strength in Teamwork
“We are incredibly grateful for the opportunity to compete again and proud to be champions. This event reminded us that anyone can be a champion if they work hard and persevere. Our journey shows that dedication pays off. To be a champion, you need discipline and consistency in your workouts. We didn’t become champions overnight; it took patience and hard work. Not everyone can persevere through the challenges, but if you stay focused and committed, the results will come.”
It was not an easy feat for Team Ecoland Davao to win the title. During the qualifying rounds, every team had to put in a lot of work to get through the challenges in the shortest amount of time. Collaboration, concentration, and clear communication were essential for the champions to succeed.
The members of the team hope that their triumph encourages people to lead active lifestyles and serves as a constant reminder that anyone can succeed anywhere, at any time.
A Unique Comeback
The Battle of the Purple Champions this year took a fresh tack by transforming routine tasks into enjoyable, health-focused competitions. With the cutting-edge equipment available from Anytime Fitness, participants engaged in creative tasks and pushed their limits.
Inspired by the landmark of moving houses, the competition began with a Moving Day challenge. Teams had to lift and arrange furniture in a shuffled room according to a predetermined layout.
The Sandbag Shuffle tested the strength of teams' upper, lower, and core muscles as they maneuvered through obstacles while toting five sandbags on a sled.
Teams had to alternate between stationary biking and high jumps on a plyometric box, combining endurance and explosive power, as part of the Bike Race challenge, which recognized the growing trend of biking in the Philippines.
In the last task, known as the Champion's Climb, competitors carried kettlebells as they raced up and down a staircase, simulating the strength needed for travel.
Although Team Ecoland Davao emerged as the champions, every team exemplified the event’s core message that “real life never stops.”

“We are proud not just of our athletes who gave it their all during Battle of the Purple Champions, but for all who came to celebrate with us. At Anytime Fitness, we always want to push boundaries; that said, we want to take this chance to remind everyone that anyone can be a Champion – you just need to have a fighting spirit committed to making yourself a better version of yourself everyday.” ~Mark de Joya, COO of Inspire Brands Asia
