Breaking Barriers in Taiwan: David Licauco’s Record-Setting Performance

The 2026 HYROX Taipei race was a significant milestone for the Philippine hybrid community, marking a moment where local talent proved its mettle on an international stage. The event was highlighted by a historic performance from KILOS.PH celebrity client David Licauco. Competing in his first-ever HYROX Men's Open Solo event, David demonstrated remarkable grit and technical efficiency, ultimately breaking the Men's Open Solo Philippine Record.

This achievement is a testament to the effectiveness of the training environment at KILOS.PH. Preparing for a solo race in a foreign country requires a disciplined balance of high-volume aerobic work and heavy functional stations. By utilizing our climate-controlled facility and Eleiko hardware, David was able to build the specific work capacity needed to shatter a national record in his debut appearance. It reinforces the idea that with the right home base, even the most demanding schedules can accommodate elite-level physical progress.

While the Taipei race has finished, the impact of David’s record remains a major talking point in the local community. It has inspired a new wave of athletes to look beyond domestic borders and test themselves against Asia’s best. At KILOS.PH, we take pride in being the training ground where such milestones are made possible, providing the professional atmosphere and technical expertise required for our members to excel at the highest levels of the sport.
