Events across four townships focus on sustainable living
YOGA, zumba and high-intensity interval training (HIIT) led by professional instructors from top fitness centres await visitors to a wellness festival.
Taking place until Oct 27, Wellfest organised by Gamuda Land focuses on sustainable and community-focused developments.
The event aims to inspire Malaysians to embrace a healthier lifestyle.
Festival activities are being held in four townships – Gamuda Cove (Kuala Langat), Gamuda Gardens (Sungai Buloh North) and twentyfive7 (South of Kota Kemuning), which are in Selangor as well as Horizon Hills (Iskandar Puteri) in Johor.
Attendees can also participate in mindfulness workshops covering mental wellness and sustainable living.
The event’s wellness bazaar will showcase health-conscious food and eco-friendly products.
For younger participants, Malaysia’s first Tesla Kids Driving Experience will provide a fun activity that encourages sustainable living from an early age.
Gamuda Land chief operating officer Jess Teng said Wellfest underscores Gamuda Land’s principles that prioritise residents’ healthy lifestyles through designs that blend urban living with nature.
“At the core of Gamuda Land’s developments is the philosophy that wellness starts with the environment.
“We meticulously plan our townships to encourage outdoor activities and physical well-being.
“Our parks are designed with shaded pathways leading to key commercial areas, allowing residents to opt for a walk under tree canopies rather than driving.
“Dedicated cycling lanes also encourage the use of bicycles over motorised vehicles, reducing carbon footprints while promoting fitness.”
Indeed, fitness is a big part of the festival with Tribe, Anytime Fitness and FlyProject leading activities.
Gamuda Land’s parks serve as communal hubs away from the urban hustle.
“Our parks are not just about aesthetics; they are carefully designed to enhance air quality, cool urban spaces and create habitats for local wildlife, contributing to environmental sustainability while improving residents’ quality of life,” added Teng.
