Get Fit Abu Dhabi launched this month, with classes and activities to suit all manner of fitness and health seekers in the capital. The free-to-attend initiative by Department of Community Development is held in collaboration with 10 malls in the main city, Al Ain and Al Dhafra – so residents can get a workout in between their daily shopping routine. The event is ongoing until November 30. Here’s where you can go and what you need to know. There’s a range of activities to look forward to here, including Zumba, CrossFit and aerobics classes, and access to rowing and treadmill machines, with activities taking place on from 4pm to 9pm from Sundays to Wednesdays; and 5pm to 10pm from Thursdays to Saturdays. A consultation with a dietitian can be accessed on Friday, November 15, while there will be general health screenings on Saturday, November 16, between 5pm and 10pm. Health enthusiasts who enjoy working out post sundown can participate in three spinning sessions taking place on Thursday and Friday, November 14 and 15 at 7pm, 9pm and 11pm; and another on Saturday, November 16 at 11pm. Stop by for a fitness activity challenge and consultation, taking place every day from 6pm to 8pm until Thursday, November 28. Feeling stressed?
