Cape Town, 23 June 2026: On Saturday, 4 July 2026, Cavendish Square will host another edition of its standout fitness activations, with Planet Fitness and Discovery Vitality presenting the Hybrid Sim Saturday event in what promises to be a dynamic, crowd-driven showcase of endurance and energy.

Taking place in the Cavendish Square parking area on P3 from 09h00 to 13h00, the event will transform the space into a race-day arena where athletes, fitness enthusiasts and curious spectators can expect a high-energy morning of competition, music and endurance.

Designed as part of Planet Fitness’ Season 1 Hybrid Games calendar, the event will see participants push through a demanding circuit in a bid to qualify for the finals taking place later this year.

A Fitness Event Built for Spectators Too

While competitors will be pushing themselves to the limit, Simulation Saturday has also been designed as a lively spectator experience. Expect pumping music, an electric atmosphere and plenty of crowd energy as heats unfold throughout the morning.

DJ BamBam will keep momentum high from the first heat to the final sprint, while activation stands from Discovery Vitality and USN will add to the experience with samples, treats and giveaways.

Whether visitors arrive to compete or simply happen upon the event during a Saturday shopping trip, the energy of the Hybrid Games is expected to turn plenty of heads.

What Competitors Can Expect

Heats will run from 09h00 to 13h00, with participants taking on a six-station challenge completed across 23 minutes. Athletes will rotate through a demanding sequence of Run, SkiErg, Walking Lunges with Sandbag, Row and Wall Balls, with two minutes of maximum effort at each station and one-minute recovery periods in between.

Top-performing male and female athletes across age groups will qualify for the Hybrid Games finals in November.

Entry is open to a broad range of participants, from ages 16 through to 70, and does not require a Planet Fitness membership. Fees are set at R150 for Planet Fitness and Elevate members, while Discovery Vitality members and non-members will pay R200. Pre-registration is compulsory, with no ticket sales available at the event itself.
