Empowering Healthier, Longer, Better Lives with record-breaking events and pioneering initiatives
AIA Singapore's robust line-up of HYROX-related initiatives this year underscores its leadership in promoting active lifestyles. As the Official Title Partner for the AIA HYROX Open Asian Championships 2025, which drew close to 25,000 participants and spectators to the Singapore National Stadium on June 28-29. This landmark event not only broke records for athlete participation but also introduced inclusive categories like adaptive and corporate relay, further exemplifying AIA Singapore's dedication to making fitness accessible to all. A first in the world for HYROX championships, AIA Singapore supported both participants and spectators with complimentary personal accident coverage upon ticket purchase, valid through the month of June 2025.
Building on this momentum, AIA Singapore also launched the first-of-its-kind AIA Ultimate FitnessFest in August, with support from HYROX. This pioneering hybrid fitness event, featuring University and Open Editions, was designed to cater to participants across all fitness levels, further reinforcing AIA's commitment to building a holistic ecosystem that inspires individuals to "Rethink Healthy" through diverse experiences.
