HIIT-ING RECORDS
Did someone say a free HIIT class? With the Dubai Fitness Challenge on our heels, the city is attempting to set another Guinness World Record with the world's largest high-intensity (HIIT) class on October 26 at Skydive Dubai. Fitness star Joe Wicks, aka 'The Body Coach', will guide and motivate the city's residents to cross that figurative finish line. Those who're 18 and above can be a part of this intense 30-minute session by registering on Platinum List Dubai.
