Fitness and Strength Celebrated as Anytime Fitness brings back Battle of the Purple Champions

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.”

Celebrating Champions

“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

Anytime Fitness, the largest and most varied fitness network in the area and the creator of the 24/7 fitness franchise concept, is the sponsor of Battle of the Purple Champions. Anytime Fitness, which has more than 5,500 clubs worldwide, is unwavering in its dedication to offering every opportunity for growth and well-being.

DHL Express and Brother Industries (Philippines), Inc. Commit to Reducing Carbon Footprint with sustainable aviation fuel

(L-R: Ms. Heidi Trinidad, Assistant Manager, Brother Industries (Philippines), Inc.; Mr. Wataru Shimizu, General Manager, Brother Industries (Philippines), Inc.; Mr. Nigel Lockett, Country Manager, DHL Express; Mr. Eric Queppet, VP for Commercial, DHL Express)

Through DHL Express's GoGreen Plus service, Brother Industries (Philippines), Inc. and DHL Express have partnered to strengthen their commitment to lowering greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Brother can cut its annual GHG emissions related to international parcels by 30% by utilizing this service, the book, and the claim methodology.

DHL, a leader in global logistics, is committed to reaching a net-zero greenhouse gas emissions target by 2050 and is committed to leading by example in sustainable logistics. One important program that helps users use sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) to lower the greenhouse gas emissions of their international shipments is the GoGreen Plus service. Made from waste materials, renewable energy, or sustainable plants, SAF is a more environmentally friendly jet fuel. Compared to conventional jet fuel derived from fossil fuels, it reduces greenhouse gas emissions by approximately 80%. 

The Brother Group's Environmental Vision 2050, which attempts to reduce GHG emissions across all activities in order to minimize the environmental impact of its business operations, is in line with the partnership with DHL Express. The company calculates and reports its Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions, which represent direct and indirect emissions in own assets as well as within its supply chain, in accordance with globally recognized standards like the Greenhouse Gas Protocol, EN 16258, and the Global Logistics Emissions Council Framework. DHL Express uses the Voluntary Market Based Measures Framework for Logistics Emissions Accounting and Reporting, published by the Smart Freight Center, as a guide to calculate the market-based effects.

“GoGreen Plus enables Brother Industries (Philippines) to reduce its Scope 3 emissions, the indirect GHG emissions in a company's value chain, including downstream transportation and distribution. We hope this collaboration will inspire more companies to adopt low-emission transportation services using sustainable aviation fuel.” ~Nigel Lockett, DHL Express Philippines Country Manager

“Our partnership with DHL Express reflects our sustainable efforts to reduce the environmental impact of the manufacturing and logistics industries.” ~Wataru Shimizu, Brother Industries (Philippines), Inc., General Manager

In 2023, DHL Express launched the GoGreen Plus service, allowing customers to reduce the GHG emissions associated with their international air freight via SAF. GoGreen Plus is made possible by three of the most significant SAF contracts with bp, Neste, and World Energy.
