If you’ve ever wished for a fitness programme that truly understands your body, Singapore might just have the solution. ConnectingDNA, a homegrown wellness platform, has unveiled the DNA Fitness Transformation Challenge, the city-state’s first initiative to fuse genetics, AI, and fitness into a single personalised journey. And it’s not just a workout challenge—it’s a life-changing opportunity, offering over S$360,000 in prizes, paid monthly over three years for the top three winners.
Hosted by local celebrity Gurmit Singh, who recently shared his own wake-up call about personal health, the Challenge goes beyond the typical “one-size-fits-all” approach to fitness. Instead, it promises science-backed, individualised plans designed to transform not only your body but also your habits and lifestyle.
“Transformation shouldn’t be a one-off goal. Sustainable fitness is about creating the right habits over time. That’s why winners will receive monthly support for three years,” explains Cedric Lee, CEO of ConnectingDNA.
A Truly Personalised Journey
At the heart of the Challenge is ConnectingDNA’s AI-powered DNA insights. Participants undergo a simple DNA test that identifies genetic markers affecting metabolism, endurance, recovery, and muscle growth. The platform then matches them with a vetted fitness partner—from gyms like Peak360, Fitness Bravo, Infinity Gym, Ground Zero, and Space Cuboid—to create a bespoke fitness programme that’s tailored to their unique biology.
Gurmit Singh, ConnectingDNA’s Healthy Ageing Ambassador, reflects: “Generic weight-loss methods only get you so far. DNA takes it to the next level—specific, personalised, and spot-on. It’s never too late to start.”
How the Challenge Works
Participants are evaluated on physical, mental, and social goals, earning points for consistent training, personal growth, and community engagement. Final winners are judged on transformation, mindset, and impact by a panel of experts, including Dr Jacqueline Zhan (Clinical Nutrition) and Goh Jor Ming, PhD (Exercise Science, NUS).
Grand prizes for the Challenge are designed to support long-term lifestyle change:
- 1st Place: S$5,000/month for 3 years (S$4,500 cash + S$500 in kind)
- 2nd Place: S$3,000/month for 3 years (S$2,700 cash + S$300 in kind)
- 3rd Place: S$2,000/month for 3 years (S$1,800 cash + S$200 in kind)
Winners also become ConnectingDNA Ambassadors, inspiring others to embrace science-driven wellness.
