The pursuit of wellness and fitness has always been a priority for many, and the demand for spaces where one can engage in an active lifestyle has been ever-present amidst the hustle and bustle of the metro. Recognizing this need, Greenfield District in Mandaluyong City stands out as a unique haven for those looking to balance city living with a healthy lifestyle.
“This is our game plan for the district, to position it as a health and wellness center in an urban setting. There’s really a lot of open spaces, greenery – places for activities. With a number of buildings and condominiums in the area, it’s just right that we provide all these opportunities for health and wellness. Free yoga, free taekwondo – there’s more to come!” shared Atty. Duane A.X. Santos, Greenfield executive vice president and general manager at the recently held “Fit Crawl” event.
“Fit Crawl,” an event that aimed to showcase Greenfield Development Corporation’s dedication to health and wellness, was an exhilarating journey through the many fitness options available within the expansive Greenfield District. Known for its pockets of greenery and spaces conducive to well-being, such as the Central Park where one can enjoy a meditative yoga session, the district also boasts wide sidewalks ideal for after-office joggers and families looking for healthy activities to do together. The area is teeming with sports and wellness facilities, making it a top choice for those who prioritize fitness in their daily routine.
Participants of the Fit Crawl, including athletes, fitness personalities, exercise enthusiasts, and influencers, took on the physical challenge of completing the fitness circuit. Starting at The Portal, two adrenaline-pumping options awaited them. First up was Obstacle Central, a facility packed with an array of obstacles and equipment designed for those preparing for obstacle course races or aiming to achieve their fitness goals. This playground for strength conditioning tests one’s stamina with rings, walls, and bars, making it the perfect place to polish off the course with a strong finish.
Just a few steps away is Climb Central Manila, the largest indoor air-conditioned sport climbing venue in the Philippines. With approximately 750 square meters of climbing wall space designed for both beginners and experienced climbers, it offers a safe and encouraging environment to conquer new heights. The venue is always buzzing with individuals looking to challenge themselves and elevate their workouts to new levels.
Another highlight within the district is Gameville Ball Park, a state-of-the-art facility featuring two FIBA-certified basketball courts, also used for volleyball. The complex includes a sports gym, sports shop, and a soon-to-open sports-themed bar, making it a hub for athletes and enthusiasts alike. Within just a year of its opening, the ball park has become home to Alas Pilipinas and was the venue for the recent Fil-Nation Select International Volleyball Tournament.
Next door, Play Padel offers another exciting fitness opportunity. This indoor padel club features three padel courts, a café, retail shop, Pilates studio, and fully equipped male and female locker rooms with showers. Padel, a racket sport similar to tennis, is gaining popularity, and this venue caters to all ages and skill levels with programs and clinics led by experienced coaches. For those looking to test their skills, matches and tournaments provide the perfect challenge.
These four venues perfectly complement the wellness-oriented environment of Greenfield District, making it a true urban sanctuary for those seeking an active lifestyle. Whether you’re into physically demanding sports or simply want to enjoy the boost of exercise-induced endorphins, Greenfield District offers something for everyone. Come and find your fitness fit in this vibrant community where health and wellness thrive.
