Found: HYROX classes in Dubai that *actually* hit
If you haven't heard of Hyrox yet – seriously, where have you been? It's *the* global fitness race taking over your feed and your FYP. Part endurance, part functional training, and 100% all-out intensity. Hyrox is designed to push your limits… it's a gym lover's Olympics, and it's as addictive as it is savage. 💥
Whether you're chasing a podium, or just hoping to cross the finish line upright, Hyrox is the fitness world's ultimate flex – and it's *everywhere* right now.
The UAE's already had a taste, with Sharjah hosting a major event just last month and the hype shows no sign of slowing down. Whether you're gearing up for the next race in Abu Dhabi or just want to train like you are, here's where to get your Hyrox fix in Dubai.
Wait, you *still* don't know what Hyrox is?
Hyrox is a high-intensity race that combines running and functional workouts in a brutal, addictive format. You'll complete 8 x 1km runs, and after each one, you hit a different workout station from sledge pushes and rowing to burpee broad jumps and wall balls.
It's fast. It's sweaty. It's for anyone ready to push harder, go further, and maybe collapse a little dramatically at the finish line.

Checkmate: Dubai inmates rank fifth in Asian chess tournament
A team of inmates from Dubai Police Central Jail took fifth place at the first online edition of the Asian Inmate Chess Championship. The tournament, held under the supervision of the International Chess Federation (FIDE), featured 23 teams from eight countries across Asia. Dubai Police picked a team of eight inmates from Dubai Central Jail after a tournament held in April this year inside the jail with the participation of 40 inmates organised in collaboration with Dubai Chess and Culture Club. Dubai Police said on Saturday that, despite the tough competition, the team ranked fifth in the last rounds where teams were divided into 15 teams of men, four teams of women and four teams of juveniles. Lt Col Mohammed Al Obaidli, director of inmate education and training department at Dubai Police expressed his pride of the honourable participation in the tournament. 'We are keen to participate in chess tournaments and other sporting activities. It aims to develop discipline, focus and skills among inmates as part of our rehabilitation programmes,' Lt Col Al Obaidli said. 'We are proud of the result and the performance of our time in first-of-its kind championship. 'We are looking to build self-confidence and develop positive behaviour as well as boost the mental and sporting skills of inmates. We want to highlight the potentials especially as it's a mental sport based on discipline and patience.' According to FIDE, the online chess championship for prisoners marked a significant milestone in the effort to bring chess into correctional institutions worldwide. 'As part of the Chess for Freedom initiative, this expansion provides incarcerated individuals with new opportunities for intellectual engagement, rehabilitation, and reintegration into society,' FIDE said on their website. The tournament was played on using a 10-minute + 5-second increment time control. Dubai Police is preparing to participate in the fifth Intercontinental Chess Cup for Prisoners, scheduled for October this year, where Dubai Police will return as the previous edition's title-holder. The inmates' team beat 115 other chess squads from 51 countries at the international chess tournament organised by the Cook County Office in Chicago, and held online for three days last year. 'We are looking to defend our title and will keep working to represent UAE and Dubai Police,' Lt Col Al Obaidli said.

Ethara's Danny Klima on project management and its role in global sporting events
Image: Gareth Harford / Motorsport Images Photographer) courtesy E1/ For illustrative purposes In the high-stakes world of international events, delivering flawless execution while juggling complex logistics, tight timelines, and diverse stakeholders is no small feat. Danny Klima, venue portfolio director at Ethara, shares how project management principles are at the heart of the success of iconic events like the Formula 1 Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix last year. With over two decades of global experience and 18 years in the UAE, Klima reflects on how certifications from the Project Management Institute ( Danny Klima/ Image: Supplied How has your project management training supported the successful delivery of the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix? Live events have their own set of inherent uncertainties and risks involved with anything from weather conditions, logistical issues and last-minute changes impacting deliverables.. We need to be agile and quick to adapt and turn things around whatever the disruptions as the event has to go live. My Project Management Professional (PMP) and Program Management Professional (PgMP) certifications gave me the tools to lead cross-functional teams with a leadership style that balances decisiveness and collaboration. These qualifications also helped me foster synergy across technical teams and international stakeholders while embedding a culture of accountability. In the end, the outcome is the most crucial part of it all, and if we are able to navigate the challenges and have a process-driven approach while remaining quick on our feet to counter unexpected challenges on the way, we have a win-win situation in hand. Sustainability is another key focus. I used my training to embed sustainability within every phase of the project — from work breakdown structures and programme architecture to delivery and post-event evaluation. This structured approach helped us integrate innovations like renewable energy and waste-reduction strategies into the planning and execution process. What are some of the key sustainability initiatives at the Grand Prix? Sustainability is a fundamental part of our event blueprint. The Grand Prix operations teams are quite process-driven to ensure efficiency and they are already dialed into sustainability. Our sustainability initiatives, be it around advanced technology to reduce our energy consumption — all of our track lights are LED so it reduced our electricity demands — or our renewable project, where we commissioned a one-megawatt solar car park, are really a fundamental part of the business. F1 has a sustainability steering committee that ensures sustainability is embedded into department objectives. For a massive event like this where we have 70,000 spectators coming to an event for a 10-hour day, the impact can be huge. We focus on plastic and waste, wellbeing, energy use, fan travel, how fans get to the venue, how the event impacts the local community, and, of course, carbon. And we think about air quality. We think about noise. We think about groundwater pollution. We initiated a shift to e-tickets as part of our waste management agenda a few years ago. We didn't have to produce the plastic cards, or the lanyards. We didn't need planes and trains and buses to ship the tickets all around the world. So we eliminated all of that waste and logistics from the event, which we're really proud of. We're an old venue. Yas Marina Circuit has been operating since 2009, so we have a lot of old technology. Converting everything to LED lighting has definitely helped. Even simple solutions like having water diffusers on the bottom of taps has helped to reduce wastage especially when we have 70,000 people using the venue. We work with suppliers with sustainability strategies, who have frameworks and net-zero ambitions, and help us deliver our objectives as well. As for how we measure the success of our sustainability drive, we have a robust customer feedback survey which enables us to work around our limitations and scale up our success. We also ensure we are up to date with our certifications which showcases our adherence to sustainable measures. We also get scored by Formula 1 for our sustainability plan around plastic and waste, well-being and nature, energy, fan travel, local community and carbon. Formula 1 sets some stringent guidelines and their feedback mechanism through scoring and awards enable us to ensure we are on the right path. Looking back at the 2024 Formula 1 Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix — what was a key learning from this edition? The 2024 edition marked the culmination of a high-stakes season, and delivering such a multifaceted event reinforced the importance of stakeholder alignment and agile planning. Whether coordinating race-day operations or managing back-to-back headline concerts, the key learning was the need for real-time responsiveness grounded in a robust project framework. These insights will help us elevate future editions even further. How has technology — especially AI and data analytics — changed how you plan and execute events? Adaptability is key to success in this field. Data analytics has helped us optimise resource allocation, forecast demand, and reduce waste. For Formula 1, we often need to know attendee needs before they do — and AI is helping us do just that. Emerging tools are improving our ability to anticipate issues and personalise experiences, and I'm excited about the continued role of AI in shaping how events evolve in the coming years. You've lived in the UAE for nearly two decades. How has the local culture influenced your approach to event management? The UAE's emphasis on hospitality and inclusivity aligns beautifully with our goals in event delivery. Working in Abu Dhabi has taught me the value of adaptability and cultural sensitivity. The local tradition of blending innovation with heritage has helped shape my approach — whether it's integrating advanced technology or meeting global standards while honouring local customs. What does the future look like for Abu Dhabi as a global events destination? Abu Dhabi's transformation into a holistic world-class leisure and lifestyle destination is purely a byproduct of the leadership's ambitious vision backed by heavy investment into innovation that marries technology with sustainability. There are of course challenges with regards to climate and logistics and navigating permits, regulations and legal requirements. But at the end of the day, the steadfast vision to offer a memorable experience for all visitors backed by best-in-class practices and world-class infrastructure along with a robust investment into skilled workforce has ensured the emirate has been able to attract a diverse range of footfall. There is huge potential here for the global events industry and what makes the venue truly unique is the adherence to local culture while not compromising on offering the very best of services to guests. An international event like the Formula 1 Grand Prix draws its own unique crowd – from spectators to vendors to the real heroes on track. The emirate has proved over the years that it can host world class events where technology, innovation and creativity come together intricately to offer a truly memorable experience for all involved. And the cred
