Organised by Under Armour, the annual urban fitness challenge Test of Will returns for its 2nd edition on this weekend, March 11 and 12.

Each competitor will be scored based on the maximum number of repetitions they can achieve within 60 seconds. The highest scoring man and woman of the national heats from each respective country will win an all-expense paid trip to compete in the regional finals, happening in Kuala Lumpur on May 6, 2017.

This year’s overall champion of the regional finals will walk away with S$2,500 cash prize (RM8,000).

“The Test of Will is for everyone and anyone with the determination and discipline to train and compete,” said Mr. Michael Binger, CEO of Triple Pte Ltd, exclusive distributor of Under Armour in Southeast Asia. “Last year, we witnessed champions crowned from the most unexpected individuals.
