It’s time to get moving and your heart rate up with Hermès. And we’re not just talking about running in a pair of Hermès sneakers (although no one is really stopping you from doing just that), but rather, a 10-day fitness pop-up that’s happening soon: HermèsFit.
The travelling pop-up has been making the rounds the world over with stops in Tokyo, New York and most recently Sydney. The Singapore edition is happening this 14 April and is poised to bring you closer to the Hermès accessories universe in a unique and fun fashion.
HermèsFit’s main draw is that you’ll get to work out using actual Hermès accessories. From its artfully done silk carrés to signature Kelly wallets, each range of accessories is the foundation of a workout routine that’s been specially crafted around them. There are six fitness classes in total.
Carré Yoga is where your balance and core strength are tested while getting in scarf-inspired poses with Hermès silks in hand. Breathe and loosen up tight muscles in Belt Stretching using the perfect Hermès belt of your choice. For some arm-toning, try out the Ballet Arms with Bracelets class. Or opt for a more rigorous exercise with Shoes HIIT where Hermès shoes act as weights. Hat Balance—as the name implies—is all about keeping your Hermès hat on, while the Small Leather Good Workout class focuses on strength and flexibility using Kelly wallets and other small leather goods.
But that’s not all that HermèsFit is slated to offer. The entire space is decked out in Hermès-branded fitness paraphernalia and with areas designed to resemble an actual fitness studio. Locker rooms are available and there’s even a weights wall stocked with custom Hermès barbells and kettlebells. An orange central boxing ring doubles up as a photobooth in the day and is transformed into a stage for live performances and more in the evening.
If anything, HermèsFit will definitely be an interesting way to discover and get up close and personal—in an unexpected way—with Hermès’ range of accessories. And if what you get out of attending a class is a more creative use of your Hermès accessory, that’s certainly a bonus.
HermèsFit runs from 14 to 23 April 2023 at 16 Orchard Road. Register online for free entry and fitness classes.
