WHAT IS DUBAI FITNESS CHALLENGE?
#ShareYour30
Dubai Fitness Challenge (DFC) is a month-long celebration of fitness and wellness, challenging you to complete 30 minutes of exercise daily for 30 days (30X30).
A Royal Vision: Initiated by His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Defence of the UAE, and Chairman of The Executive Council of Dubai, this challenge aims to inspire a fitness-focused mindset and promote healthy, active lifestyles for all.
Inspiring Millions: Since its inception in 2017, the Dubai Fitness Challenge has motivated millions to embrace healthier lifestyles. Building on the success of over 2.4 million participants in 2023, the 2024 edition promised to be even more impactful. Through an extensive array of city-wide events, free workouts, exciting tournaments and wellness opportunities, DFC provides inspiration to keep Dubai active.
"Dubai is a city that recognises the importance of physical, mental and social well-being, and constantly strives to provide everyone opportunities for an active lifestyle. All it takes for you to succeed is an unyielding pledge to enjoy 30 minutes of activity for 30 days. I challenge each and every one of you to embrace your fitness journey and make a difference in your life. Together, let’s make the UAE the most active country in the world."
– His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and Chairman of the Executive Council of Dubai
