KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia – The REDLINE Fitness Games by NISSAN successfully concluded its highly anticipated third edition this past weekend, July 26 and 27, 2025, at the MINES International Exhibition & Convention Centre (MIECC). The event, Malaysia’s premier functional fitness competition, significantly surpassed previous participation numbers, solidifying its position as one of Southeast Asia’s largest and most inclusive fitness challenges. Over 10,000 local and international participants and spectators converged on the REDLINE arena for two days of high-energy action.
Organized by Fresh Events Asia and supported by returning title sponsor NISSAN, REDLINE Fitness Games has established itself as a regional movement that encourages individuals of all fitness levels to engage with functional fitness. This discipline focuses on training the body for everyday activities through compound movements that mimic real-life actions. The event provides a dynamic platform for gym-goers and fitness enthusiasts to test their physical and mental limits in a competitive yet welcoming environment.
The core of the event revolved around the REDLINE workout arena, a carefully curated sequence of 12 full-body cardio and strength challenges designed to assess strength, endurance, agility, and mental resilience. This year’s circuit included diverse stations such as a 500-meter run, SkiErg, BikeErg, and RowErg segments, deadball burpees, sled push and pull, and “The Mule” – a series of fast carries using progressively heavier sandbags. Additional exercises like Russian twists, squat thrusts, shuttle runs, and the sandbag gauntlet ensured a comprehensive and demanding workout that challenged various facets of physical performance.
To ensure broad accessibility and meaningful competition, participants competed across structured categories. These included Singles, Doubles, and Team Relay formats for men, women, and mixed teams. Within the Singles division, athletes could choose from three difficulty levels: Beginner (Level 1), Intermediate (Level 2), or Advanced (Level 3), allowing individuals from a wide range of fitness backgrounds to participate effectively.
Jeff Ross, General Manager of Fresh Events Asia, emphasized the event’s lasting appeal, citing its blend of physical intensity and social camaraderie. “Every year, these games are a reminder of the raw grit and spirit of community they ignite,” Ross said. “REDLINE was never meant to be just another fitness event. It’s about creating a space where anyone, whether a seasoned athlete or a first-timer, can show up, feel welcome, and participate in a large-scale fitness event. It’s about belonging, pushing your own limits, and being part of something bigger.” He also extended gratitude to NISSAN, MyCEB, Concept2, and other partners for their continued support.
NISSAN’s consistent return as the title sponsor underscores a strong alignment with REDLINE’s core values. Khoo Cheng Pah, Chief Executive Officer of Edaran Tan Chong Motor Sdn Bhd (Nissan’s official distributor in Malaysia), stated that the automotive brand’s ongoing involvement reflects its commitment to promoting strength, endurance, and boldness – qualities central to both the fitness games and NISSAN’s product philosophy. “At its core, REDLINE is about pushing boundaries. This pursuit of performance mirrors what we at NISSAN strive for in everything we build and everything we do,” Khoo explained, highlighting a shared mindset of continuous evolution.
The REDLINE Fitness Games 2025 also received crucial support from the Malaysia Convention & Exhibition Bureau (MyCEB), an agency under the Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture Malaysia. MyCEB, which plays a key role in promoting Malaysia as a destination for international sports events, was instrumental in ensuring the smooth operation of the two-day event. Tan Mei Phing, CEO of MyCEB, expressed satisfaction in supporting REDLINE’s growth into a signature fitness event for the region, reflecting MyCEB’s mission to elevate Malaysia as a preferred destination for world-class sporting and lifestyle events.

This third Malaysian edition of REDLINE Fitness Games serves as an important precursor to the brand’s regional expansion. In December 2025, Bangkok is set to host its first REDLINE Fitness Games, with Vietnam slated to join the roster in early 2026, signaling the event’s growing footprint across Southeast Asia. The term ‘REDLINE’ metaphorically refers to the point where an engine or, in this context, the human body, operates at its maximum performance threshold. Participants are encouraged to discover and challenge their personal “REDLINE,” pushing both physical and mental boundaries.
The REDLINE Fitness Games by NISSAN continues to redefine community-driven fitness events, offering an experience that is physically demanding, emotionally fulfilling, and ultimately inspiring for all who participate.
