During Chapter 5 of Rebels of Aging at Mandala Club, we gathered for a hands-on, science-meets-sweat evening designed to build each participant’s Longevity Athlete Profile - translating cutting-edge research into measurable action.
The night opened with Dr Neil Forrest (Osler Health), who reframed exercise as the number one longevity intervention. From autophagy and telomere protection to the role of VO₂max, lean muscle mass, and metabolic timing, he broke down what truly matters at each decade of life. The session explored cardio versus strength, HIIT versus Zone 2, the power of resistance training, and how to use wearables and body composition scans to track the metrics that actually move the needle.
Michelle Lim (Technogym) then guided guests through practical body composition and wellness tracking - demonstrating what to measure, how often to measure it, and how to build a data-driven Longevity Athlete Profile that evolves over time.
With the science understood, it was time to put it into motion.
Led by Dr Arun Jayaraj (Elyx Life), the first Longevity Athlete Workout combined mobility, activation, and progressive resistance training before building into explosive HIIT intervals. Every movement was anchored in longevity research - designed to improve strength, metabolic flexibility, recovery, and long-term resilience.
The evening closed at L’évive Labs’ Cell Renewal Bar, where guests refueled with The Rebel - reinforcing the principle that training, recovery, and cellular support are all part of the same longevity equation.
This was performance with purpose - training not just for aesthetics or endurance, but for decades of healthspan ahead.
