DATE / apr 2024
Fitness Fusion was a two-day activation designed to bring health, fitness, and data-led insight to a diverse public audience at the Al Andalus Mall in Kuwait. Organised in collaboration with Vista Media, the event was a celebration of active lifestyles, encouraging participation across all age groups through fun, accessible challenges.
Sport Science Agency was appointed to design and deliver an interactive experience that could engage visitors of all fitness levels, while introducing them to core sport science principles. Our solution was the SSA Fitness Triathlon, a three-part physical and cognitive test that offered participants real-time data, personalised feedback, and a chance to benchmark themselves against elite athletes.
what ssa delivered
The SSA Fitness Triathlon was developed to bring together science, accessibility, and entertainment. Designed for all ages and fitness backgrounds, the three core tests focused on:
Cognitive Function: A short, reaction-based test gauging mental speed and coordination under pressure.
Lower-Body Power: A countermovement jump captured explosively using high-accuracy motion tracking.
Upper-Body Strength: A grip strength test using digital dynamometers, one of the most reliable predictors of muscular performance.
Results from each test were displayed in real time via branded tablets and screen displays, allowing participants to instantly understand their performance. SSA specialists provided on-the-spot analysis and encouraged discussion around physical literacy, sporting benchmarks, and training insight, all tailored to the individual.
This created a dual-layer experience: engaging and rewarding for participants, while offering value and interest to onlookers, families and the wider mall audience.

Public Education: The activation allowed members of the public to learn more about how strength, power and cognitive skill relate to athletic performance.
Brand Alignment: SSA ensured full creative alignment with Fusion Fitness guidelines, offering a cohesive experience from visuals to visitor engagement.

the result
Fitness Fusion successfully demonstrated how simple sport science tools can create high-quality engagement in a public setting. The SSA Fitness Triathlon enabled visitors to test themselves in a way that was fun, educational and shareable, and importantly, didn’t require elite levels of fitness to take part.
By combining live data, expert-led discussion, and visually striking design, the experience delivered a sense of achievement, curiosity and conversation. Events like this show the power of performance-based activations to connect brands, communities and sport science in a meaningful way.
