DUBAI ACTIVE SHOW - FITTEST IN THE CITY PAIRS COMBINE

GETTING TO THE ACTIVE SHOW / MUSCLE SHOW

The Dubai Active Show is held at ZABEEL HALLS 1, 2, 3 and HALL 1 at DUBAI WORLD TRADE CENTRE.  There are thousands of car parks around the center, or taxi drop offs are also very easy. More info HERE.

The Active / Dubai Muscle Shows opening hours are 10am - 7pm each day, please do come early and stay late and enjoy all the show has to offer.

The Turf Games Pairs COMBINE is a pairs competition where athletes will compete in 4 back to back workouts across a 'COMBINE', testing various aspects of their fitness in a fun, competition style format. Each pair will compete in 4 x 10 minute workouts, with 6 minutes rest between each workout. For example, if your start time is 2pm start on Friday - workout 1 will be 2pm, workout 2 - 2.16pm, workout 3 - 2.32pm and workout 4 - 2.48pm. This format was trialed in the UK and was loved by all athletes who took part. We can't wait to bring it to Dubai.

Please note, athletes will not be required to compete both days - you only compete on the day your category/division is competing and are only required for the duration of your 4 workouts (60 minutes). Athletes should arrive to the arena 45 minutes before there start time time to check in and warm up. However, we encourage to arrive as early and stay as long as possible to soak up the atmosphere of the Dubai Active Show.

Once all teams have been competed over the two days - the winners will be crowned.
