Actress Jia Ling heats up Shanghai's fitness movement

Athletic lifestyle brand lululemon hosted the 2025 Summer Sweat Games Shanghai Regional Final at Jing'an Kerry Centre on Saturday, comprising nine participating teams, with TR Sports claiming victory and earning a spot in the national finals.

As part of this year's "Shanghai Summer" initiative, lululemon transformed Anyi Road into an open-air fitness playground for the third consecutive year. The event featured over 10 interactive workout challenges and ambassador-led classes — including yoga, cardio and high-intensity interval training.

Brand ambassador Jia Ling made an appearance and participated in the events and challenges.

"The lululemon community has such a synergy and magic," shared Jia, who is also an actress and director. "Whether you're a seasoned athlete or just getting started, we come together through our shared passion. We push past personal limits, celebrate every step, and build lasting connections. With National Fitness Day just around the corner on Aug 8, let's keep moving and embrace the joy that collective movement brings."

Now in its fifth year, the Summer Sweat Games remain lululemon's annual signature community fitness event, drawing nearly 6,000 participants this year they drew across 42 cities, representing over 1,500 teams. Four regional competitions — in Xi'an, Xiamen, Shanghai and Shenzhen — have also concluded, with more upcoming competitions to be hosted in Dalian, Nanjing, Beijing and Wuhan. The eight regional champions will gather in Chengdu to compete for the national title.
