Dubai Fitness Challenge (DFC) has stepped it up several notches in this third edition, as Dubai transforms into the world's first and only city gym starting this weekend - from October 18 to November 16.
Offering Dubai residents new and exciting ways to be "In It, Together" and commit to 30 minutes of physical activity for 30 days, this all-inclusive fitness movement launched in 2017 by Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and Chairman of Dubai Executive Council, promises to bring health, wellness and active life to all its people.
Returning to this year's edition are two flagship Fitness Villages at Festival City Mall and Kite Beach, supplemented by 10 community-focused Fitness Hubs, over 40 fitness events and more than 5,000 fitness and health programmes spread across the city. Furthermore, DFC will introduce new elements including the 'City is a Gym' activation and the 'Find Your 30' virtual content hub, as well as wider range of health and wellness programmes, extending the appeal to more segments, and making it even easier for all to complete their 30 minutes of daily exercise.
