Your city, your gym: Get ready for Dubai Fitness Challenge 2024

Dubai: Great weather, inspiring landscapes, and diverse terrain — Dubai is a city where fitness dreams come to life all year round.

With its citywide running tracks, dune-flanking cycle tracks, natural horse-riding routes, world-class gyms, fun-packed studios, and iconic outdoor spaces which welcome exclusive exercise-themed events throughout the seasons, the emirate is a paradise for fitness fans.

Dubai is also the only city in the world offering a monthlong fitness challenge which is entirely open and free for all.

Dubai Fitness Challenge (DFC) is a citywide celebration created to help shape a fitter future and make Dubai one of the most active cities in the world. It encourages people to commit to 30 minutes of movement every day for 30 days.

As the city gears up for the eighth edition of this much-anticipated annual event, running from October 26 to November 24, those planning to join the challenge can get a head start by exploring the thousands of amazing year-round exercise facilities and activities happening in every corner of the city.

Yoga in spectacular settings

A morning yoga flow on Kite Beach is elevated by the soothing sound of the sea, with breathtaking views of Jumeirah Burj Al Arab as a backdrop. Every Sunday, this serene spot hosts weekly yoga sessions, offering participants the perfect balance of movement and mindfulness.

Places to padel with pals

The padel craze continues to thrive in Dubai, with courts bustling year-round as friends engage in friendly competition. Ideal for those embarking on a new fitness journey during DFC, padel offers a fantastic entry point for beginners. The city boasts a diverse array of courts and clubs, from boutique to professional, inviting newcomers to join the fun. Families, friends, and colleagues can dive into the sport and perhaps discover a lifelong passion to lead them into DFC and keep momentum going well beyond the 30 days.

Discover desert fitness adventures

Venturing into the desert presents a golden opportunity to move a little more while witnessing awe-inspiring settings away from the city. Sandboarding, or dune surfing, offers families and friends a thrilling way to immerse themselves in mesmerising landscapes while elevating their heart rates.

Starting with a pulse-raising walk up a rolling dune, participants then experience the exhilaration of surfing back down. For those seeking a more serene workout while still soaking up in the magic of the desert, Love Lakes Dubai offers the perfect escape.

This enchanting location is ideal for a morning jog, a leisurely sunset stroll, or a friendly afternoon kickabout. The stunning heart-shaped lakes and surrounding desert promise an unforgettable experience where visitors will forget they are even working out.
