PUNE, JUNE 18: India’s fitness community came alive this past weekend as MultiFit, India’s Happiest Fitness Community, hosted MultiRox, a two-day athletic showdown that combined Strength, Mental grit, and Community Spirit. Held across two venues in MultiFit Baner and Balewadi Stadium, the event unfolded in two fierce formats; the Solo Challenge on June 14 and the Team Challenge semi-finals on June 15, attracting athletes, fitness enthusiasts, and top brand collaborators from across the city.
The event opened at MultiFit Baner with the Solo Challenge, where participants took on a grueling six-station obstacle course designed to test strength, stamina, speed, and mental toughness, all against the clock. The atmosphere was charged, with loud cheers and high expectations echoing through the training facility. At the heart of it all were the people who have become the faces of the MultiFit movement; Mr. Neeraj Sharma, Vice Chairman of The Lexicon Group and Director of Pune Times Mirror, Civic Mirror & MultiFit, along with Mrs. Deepti Sharma, Co-Founder and Director of The Lexicon Group & MultiFit, and Ms. Mayara Neeraj Sharma, Director of MultiFit, Lexicon Group. The trio remained deeply involved throughout the day, with the team supporting the athletes and interacting with the community, a sign of the hands-on approach that has defined MultiFit’s leadership style.
The highlight of the day came when Shubham Toonwal completed the entire course in just 14 minutes and 19 seconds, claiming the top spot and a brand-new TVS Apache motorcycle, a gesture made possible by the event’s title sponsor, TVS. Not far behind in applause was Srushti Shinde, who emerged as the fastest female athlete, completing the course in 18 minutes and 5 seconds. She was awarded a gift hamper worth ₹1 lakh, recognizing her remarkable performance and reinforcing MultiFit’s commitment to spotlighting female strength in sport.
On June 15, the action moved to Balewadi Stadium, where the Team Challenge semi-finals. The sprawling outdoor venue added scale and spectacle to the contest, with fitness teams representing top gyms from across Pune battling out the 8 Station obstacle course, for a spot in the MultiRox By MultiFit Grand Finale, in July. The six qualifying teams left it all on the field, earning their shot at the MultiRox grand finale, which now promises to be one of the most anticipated events in Pune’s fitness calendar.
MultiRox was a demonstration of partnership synergy, bringing together some of the most recognizable brands in the wellness and fitness industry. TVS led the way as the title partner, powering the prestige and reach of the event. Hyugalife, the co-powered partner, provided nutritional support and visibility, reinforcing the growing link between supplementation and performance. Chifu, the food partner, kept participants and spectators fueled with wholesome meals, while Provilac, CT Pundole & Sons, UpUrFit, and Size24 added further value as gifting and clothing partners, contributing to the event’s polish, comfort, and style.
What made MultiRox stand out was not just the intensity of competition, but the spirit of togetherness that defined it. In a fitness culture often driven by solo pursuits, MultiRox proved that true strength lies in community, support, and collective growth. With July’s finals on the horizon and momentum on its side, MultiRox is shaping up not just as a local competition but as a fitness phenomenon with national potential. As Ms. Mayara Sharma puts it, “Fitness is no longer a niche. It’s becoming our culture, our language, and our lifestyle. MultiRox is a celebration of that evolution.” For now, Pune celebrates and trains harder for what comes next.
