The event also hosts brand pitch showdowns (GO Sport “Battle of the Brands”) and offers thousands of product samples and giveaways across categories like protein, supplements, tech, apparel, and gym equipment.
Why Dubai Residents and Workplace Wellness Advocates Should Attend
For residents, professionals, and wellness-driven families, the show offers:
Access to free classes, talks, and workshops
