About

Pahlawan for Palestine is a community-driven charity fitness event organized by CrossFit Pahlawan, bringing together the CrossFit, HYROX, and wider fitness communities across Malaysia for one purpose — to move for a cause.

This one-day event unites beginners, athletes, and families through fitness, featuring multiple experiences such as the MOVE Circuit, HYROX Arena, and CrossFit Throwdown, all dedicated to raising funds and awareness for the children and orphans of Palestine.

100% of proceeds from participation fees, t-shirt sales, and donations will be donated to verified humanitarian organizations supporting Palestinian children and orphans.

This is more than just a workout — it’s a movement of hope, strength, and compassion. Together, we lift, run, and move — for the children of Palestine.

Events

Each segment of Pahlawan for Palestine is crafted to unite people of all fitness levels — from first-timers to competitive athletes — in one shared purpose: to move for the children and orphans of Palestine.
These three signature events highlight the diversity of our community, showcasing inclusivity, challenge, and strength — all channelled toward meaningful impact.

MOVE CIRCUIT

A guided, non-competitive workout designed for beginners and senior participants. Experience five simple but effective stations — Farmers Carry, Sled Push, Sled Pull, Ball Throw, and Box Step-Ups — coached step-by-step by the Pahlawan team to build strength, confidence, and joy in movement. Conducted at an easy pace, it’s perfect for anyone who wants to experience CrossFit and HYROX in a fun, relaxed, and supportive environment.

HYROX ARENA

A thrilling individual fitness arena combining endurance and strength challenges. Participants will complete five stations as fast as possible — testing both willpower and grit.

🏆 Podium winners stand a chance to win free memberships and exclusive Pahlawan goodies as a token of appreciation for their effort and spirit.

A classic CrossFit-style showdown featuring a 21-15-9 workout: Shoulder-to-Overhead, Pull-Ups, and Calories on the Bike. Designed for intermediate and scaled athletes, this Throwdown celebrates intensity and camaraderie.

🏅 Top 3 finishers will earn free memberships and special prize packs, rewarding performance, resilience, and heart.

CROSSFIT THROWDOWN

Special Edition Jersey

Each registered participant will receive an exclusive Pahlawan for Palestine event jersey — a symbol of unity, strength, and purpose.

Non-participants can also be part of the movement by purchasing the jersey for RM79, with 100% of profits donated to the humanitarian organizations supporting relief efforts in Gaza.

Wear it with pride. Every shirt tells a story of solidarity.

CrossFit Demo & Pledge Drive

An inspiring showcase by Pahlawan’s top coaches and athletes, performing elite CrossFit movements in a live demo of strength and skill.

Auzani Fikry, the major shareholder of CrossFit Pahlawan, acquired majority ownership from six previous shareholders with the intention of jariyah — using the business as a means to build careers, impact lives, and make CrossFit Pahlawan the leading CrossFit box in Malaysia.

In line with this purpose, he aims to extend that impact to the children and orphans of Palestine, pledging to match every ringgit raised during this event — RM5,000 for RM5,000, RM10,000 for RM10,000, and so on — doubling the difference we can make together.
