Elisya Sandha joins Hyrox not due to 'FOMO,' but genuine fitness interest

Actress Elisya Sandha is set to compete in the Hyrox fitness challenge in Bangkok, emphasizing that her participation stems from a genuine love for fitness and self-challenge, rather than succumbing to trends or 'fear of missing out' (FOMO).

"People might think I'm just following a trend or 'FOMO,' but the truth is, I really enjoy exercising and challenging myself," Elisya stated. The 27-year-old actress, also known as Nur Elisya Sandha Hassan, sees this as a personal goal to push her physical limits, even as a mother. She has temporarily stepped away from acting to dedicate time to her preparation, aiming to avoid exhaustion during the event. Despite her break, she has received several acting offers and anticipates returning to set in October.

Elisya shared these thoughts at a press conference for the new iQIYI drama, "Madu atau Racun." She highlighted the crucial support from her husband, Uzair Haqimy Azman, which fuels her motivation, even though they have distinct preferences when it comes to fitness activities.

People might think I'm just following a trend or 'FOMO,' but the truth is, I really enjoy exercising and challenging myself. Even though I already have a child, I still want to try to achieve one of the dreams on my bucket list.

"I'm doing Hyrox with friends because my husband doesn't like this kind of activity; he prefers running on a treadmill," she explained. "But he is very understanding and always supportive, whether it's in sports or my acting career."

Hyrox is a global fitness competition that combines a 1-kilometer run with functional exercises, repeated eight times consecutively. Elisya's commitment to the event underscores her dedication to personal growth and maintaining an active lifestyle.
