Have you ever imagined that a beach clean-up could burn calories and challenge your physical limits just like a workout?

Now in its second year, GYM Beach combines environmental education, outdoor fitness, and creative sustainability into one meaningful coastal action — bringing together knowledge and real-world impact in a single day.

Event Highlights:

• Ocean Education Talk
  Led by Lanyang Museum, this session explored the sources of marine waste and its ecological impact. Participants gained a deeper understanding of how human behavior affects natural systems — a vital foundation for meaningful environmental action.
• Cleanup Initiative
  Wendy, founder of "Relay by the Sea", led the public on a hands-on beach cleanup at Wushigang North Jetty, collecting 70 kilograms of marine debris. Although less than last year’s 420 kilograms, the reduction reflects a growing environmental awareness among locals and visitors alike.
• High-Intensity Outdoor Training
  After the cleanup, the F45 team hosted a 15-minute outdoor workout session right at the beach. This unique combination of physical training and environmental action allowed participants to feel the double reward of movement and purpose, all with the ocean breeze as their backdrop.
• Creative Sustainability Workshop
  To close the day, Wendy hosted a hands-on workshop at VAST Fish & Chips, teaching participants how to repurpose discarded plastic bottles into everlasting flowers. Through this activity, the idea of turning waste into beauty came to life — demonstrating the power of sustainability in our daily choices.

Sustainability isn’t about preaching — it’s about passing the baton through real action.

GYM Beach is more than just an event. It’s an invitation to rethink how we coexist with the environment. To everyone who showed up, bent down, worked up a sweat, and reflected deeply — thank you. Your efforts help clear our oceans and make a more sustainable future possible.

We love surfing, and even more, we love the ocean. That's why we want to do our part, however small, to protect this beautiful ocean and our planet. We also hope this effort will plant a seed in everyone's heart.

Upholding the brand's "Nature Always Wins" spirit, we are making small changes for what we love in our own way. We hope to make things better, starting with ourselves, extending to our relationships with others, and then to the entire environment, bringing about change for the earth!

This beach cleanup is a special collaboration with the fitness team F45, turning the beach into a gym. We're bringing you functional training that's perfect for the seaside. Before the cleanup, we'll lead everyone in a workout, giving you full enthusiasm and positive energy.

We've also partnered with the professional ocean conservation team, "Seascape Studio," to lead the beach cleanup work. In the afternoon, we've invited plastic recycling experts from "No Trash Land" for a hands-on workshop, where everyone can witness the magic of plastic recycling with the trash we've collected.
