Hey guys,
Its Janine and Wen Li, checking in on how everyone is doing over the past month!
In the past few weeks, we have been searching for ways to help our frontliners and fellow Malaysians. We've personally contributed to as many charities and associations as we can but we want to make a bigger impact to the community.
After a long while, we finally put the pieces together on how we can do so.
We realised that we have a huge demand for more resistance bands but we unfortunately sold out in the early days of the MCO. Now to take you guys back a couple of months, we used to have a Light Grey SWEATHOOK in our collection which we discontinued from sales.
Reason being that the aesthetic quality of these bands were not quite on par with our own company's standards. However, functionally, they do their job perfectly fine. In fact, we use the Light Grey SWEATHOOKS every week at our Box & Band classes, community classes and even our SWEAT TURNS 1 event.
Bottom line is that they function perfectly!
We have made the decision to donate 70% of our Light Grey proceeds to charities and associations in need.
Please feel free to email us at thesweatco.fit@gmail about any charities or associations we should be supporting. If you do want to help raise funds, these bands will be on sale starting today, click here to find out more.
Below are a list of charities and associations who we will be supporting (we will be updating this list in the coming days):
The Star Foundation
Through The Star Foundation, Star Media Group had pledged RM1mil to kick-start the fund and help them get essential medical supplies and equipment.
Find out more about the fund here.
Ericsen Foundation
The Ericsen Foundation aims to raise RM500,000 in its first tranche. Using their current contacts of medical-grade equipment, they will purchase items as necessary for frontliners.
The ventilators, protective equipment and other gear will be distributed to hospitals across Malaysia. Lab supplies will go towards the set-up of COVID-19 detection testing labs in universities etc.
Find out more about them here.

We're back again with Episode 2 of the SWEATBAND Workout Series!
This time it's with none other than Carlos Villa, the founder of the swankiest strength and conditioning gym in town (and where we film all our workout videos in!), Union Strength. Watch as we try to keep up with some of the drills and explosive workouts he used to do back in his days of training as a competitive footballer.
Best part - He incorporates our SWEATBANDS in his exercises to make them just a smidgen more challenging.. how will we fair?
A cousin to our SWEATBANDS, meet out latest and more versatile training tool! Our SWEATHOOKS are made specifically to complement your upper body workout and leg day activations.
So what are SWEATHOOKS? They are premium fabric elastic resistance bands with loops on both ends. Made from stretchable and elastic fabric. Can be looped around your wrists or ankles!
What is the resistance like? Our SWEATHOOK collection consists of LIGHT GREY and HEAVY BLACK. Respectively, their resistances are Light and Heavy.
What about maintenance? The logo is also made of rubber so we'd highly recommend you to hand wash them.
What can I use them for? If it is your first time using a SWEATHOOK, it is recommended for you to use the LIGHT GREY first before going for a heavier resistance with HEAVY BLACK. Especially so with any upper body activations or workouts (i.e. overhead presses, back pulls etc). With lower body movements, for ease of application, do remove your shoes beforehand!

We had the chance to workout with a group of incredibly strong women. This community is something we live for and cannot wait to keep growing.

]]>We're all pretty familiar with resistance bands. You've probably used it for an activation drill or during a strength training workout. Either way, resistance bands have become a household name over the years.
So what are SWEATBANDS? They are premium fabric elastic resistance bands. Made from thick, stretchable and elastic fabric. The SWEATBANDS bring durability to a whole different level.
What is the resistance like? Our SWEATBAND collection consists of MUSTARD and HEAVY METAL. Respectively, their resistances are Medium-Heavy and Heavy. As they are made from thick fabric, the resistance level is significantly higher than non-fabric bands.
