The 26-year-old gymnastics coach beat over 1,400 contestants in the Under Armour Test of Will fitness challenge to clinch the women’s champion title.
“It’s what you do in the dark that puts you in the light.”
Living by this mantra, it’s no wonder that Zoe Pond-McPherson manages to hit every goal she has set, including winning the Under Armour Test of Will Regional Grand Final, an Asia-wide fitness challenge. The event took place at Gardens by the Bay on May 28.
The 26-year-old Philippines-based gymnastics coach came out tops in a series of agility, strength and endurance exercises. During the final rounds of the competition, Zoe proved her worth by doing 22 pull-ups 7m above ground in three minutes and climbing a 14m-long manila rope without knots, among the other gruelling workouts.
“It was very tough,” Zoe says of her win, which also earned her the coveted Under Armour Brand Athlete title. “I had to fight against many women who trained hard.”
Looks like her training regime has paid off .
