Some celebrities are as passionate on the playing field as they are on the screen. Here are some who dedicate time to staying active through different activities

The 2024 Olympics is still ongoing—some of our Filipino representatives may have exited early, while some, like boxers Carlo Paalam and Nesthy Petecio, are resuming their Paris campaign. Meanwhile, athletes like Jarod Hatch have yet to compete. As these Team Philippines Olympians go for gold, these Filipino celebrities turn to sports as a hobby while the cameras aren’t rolling. Though they have demanding schedules, these industry names find the time to keep their bodies fit, healthy, and active.

Pia Wurtzbach

Being a queen is hard work, but when it comes to maintaining a healthy lifestyle, there’s no question to her commitment. Miss Universe 2015 finished the NYC Marathon last 2022, spending months in training with a personal coach. On her Instagram post, she said, “This  medal represents how important it is that we keep the promises we make to ourselves—to me, it was running because I wanted a new challenge, a new discipline, to be healthier, to step out of my comfort zone, and to see how far I can go. I knew it would take time and dedication to achieve it, but I wanted to stick to that promise no matter where life or work pulled me.”

Kathryn Bernardo

It’s no secret that Kathryn Bernardo has a toned body—that sizzling dance performance at last month’s Century Tuna Superbods competition proves that. Aside from her usual workouts, she channels her inner Serena Williams once in a while with tennis drills and plays.

Nadine Lustre

While known for acting accolades and her initiatives as an eco-warrior, she is also an active social change-maker. Just last June, she joined the Be Pawsitive Run for a day of fun and fitness—and all proceeds will go to organizing spay and neuter events for the furry companions on the island. Establishing her roots in Siargao, swimming and surfing have also been a part of her fitness regimen.
