Dubai Fitness Challenge 2021: Health And Fitness For All

Dubai Fitness Challenge 2021 - Health and Fitness for all

Dubai is a city that continually strives to be at the forefront of innovation and technology.

That's why we're so excited about Dubai 30x30, an initiative that has been created with one goal in mind: to get Dubai residents healthier and more active.

Dubai 30x30 is a challenge for everyone in Dubai to commit to doing 30 minutes of physical activity per day for 30 days straight, starting from 29 October – 27 November 2021 this year! 

Each year we can witness the newest trends in fitness and the popularity of different types of fitness – from running to yoga – we can see how more and more people want to become healthier.

Dubai 30x30 allows everyone in Dubai, including residents as well as tourists, to take part in a challenge that has been designed especially for them!

The Dubai Fitness Challenge was launched in 2017 by His Highness Sheikh Hamdan Bin Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai. 

Dubai Fitness Challenge Logo

The 30x30 logo, which celebrates 30 minutes of exercise each day, will be all across the city. Over the past few years, Dubai has slowly turned into a fitness hub in the Middle East with top-of-the-class fitness facilities!

During the 30x30 challenge, there will be plenty of different activities across the city to choose from. The idea is to get everyone moving no matter what age or fitness level you might be.
