As Singapore’s fitness culture continues to evolve, there has been an increasing rise in women embracing more physically active sports that include strength training, endurance sports, and high-intensity workouts.
Even though there has been a rise in females taking up more performance-driven sports, most of the activewear we see on the market are either fashion-forward athleisure or performance gear with generic, often male-coded designs, that are not tailored to our need, especially in terms of fit and function.

Understanding a need to bridge the gap, Singapore-based label Anya Active decided to put women first, with a focus on building pieces with technical construction and proprietary fabrics, that can also handle high-intensity movement.
Founded in 2020 by Melinda Sutikno, Anya Active designs pieces that are built to move with breathable, quick-dry, and antimicrobial fabrics that support high-intensity training and are versatile enough for everyday wear. Rooted by its “Move Proud” tagline, the brand goes beyond aesthetics and looks to build on confidence through movement, strength, and long-term wellness.
