The Emotional Bond with Dubai's Elite Personal Training Gym
There are plenty of gyms in Dubai, but Youskilled Home is a little different. This is not just a fitness studio where people come to «pump up» — it has an almost homely atmosphere. Trainers in the personal training gym in Dubai greet you by name and select programs as if they have known you for a hundred years. Many come here after regular studios, where they get lost in the flow of clients. At Youskilled Home, everything is different: someone is helped to recover from an injury, others to lose weight without marathon diets. One client is an entrepreneur, another is an architect, and the third is a mother of two children. The age is on average from 25 to 50, but they all have one thing in common: they care about quality, attention and results. Youskilled's gimmick is not only in personal training. It is more of a club of interests, where they discuss not only exercises, but also nutrition, sleep, and motivation. People feel calm and confident here, which means they come back. By entering the Youskilled Home in Al Wasl, you feel like you have entered an old friend's cozy living room rather than a fitness studio. There are no humming machines or crowd noise — instead, there's soft lighting, the fresh aroma of coffee at the entrance, and quiet, relaxing music. The entire space seems to have been created not to impress, but to make you feel like you belong. This is especially true for those who live in areas like Emirates Hills, The Palm, or Downtown — people who are used to quality but tired of the pomp. They value: Comfort. Attention to detail. The feeling that they are truly welcome here. The Youskilled Home team is not just employees. These are people who sincerely remember how you prefer to drink water — with or without lemon, what time of day it is more convenient for you to work out, and even what mood you were in today. This is the secret of Youskilled Home — not in trendy words, but in simple human attention. And if the studio could talk, it would most likely say: «Relax. We are here». When it comes to home workouts, it is hard to find something truly personalized. But Youskilled Home stands out not only with its programs, but with its entire approach. They do not just give out exercises — trainers help build habits that are woven into everyday life. This is especially relevant for people in Dubai, where the fast pace of life requires discipline and flexibility. Each visitor is assigned a Client Success Manager, not just for show, but to remind, support, and guide them. Sometimes a simple message like «How was your week?» gives the necessary push to stay on track. Among the clients, there are many who are just starting to build a life in the UAE, and they are attracted not only by the quality of training but also by the human attitude. Over time, Youskilled Home became part of the city community.

Olorato Mongale murder: Police find white VW Polo in KZN, arrest made
Police recovered a white Volkswagen Polo linked to Olorato Mongale's murder, finding traces of blood inside. National police said that the car was located at a panel beating workshop in Durban, KZN. The two suspects, Fezile Ngubane and Philangenkosi Sibongokuhle Makhanya, are on the run, while an elderly man was arrested. Police have confirmed that traces of blood were found in a white Volkswagen Polo recovered at a panel beating shop in Phoenix, Durban on Wednesday – the vehicle which is believed to have been used in the murder of 30-year-old Olorato Mongale. Police said an elderly man, alleged to be the vehicle's owner, has been arrested following the discovery. Mongale's body was discovered in Gauteng on Sunday afternoon after she went on a date with a man she had recently met. She was picked up in a white Volkswagen Polo at her residential complex in Atholl, Johannesburg. National police spokesperson Brigadier Athlenda Mathe said the Crime Intelligence Unit recovered the car at a panel beating workshop in Phoenix, Durban, on Wednesday. Mathe said the breakthrough in Mongale's murder followed an intensive investigation led by a multi-disciplinary team, including the SAPS Anti-Kidnapping Task Team. She said the team's efforts initially directed them to a lodge in Kew, Johannesburg, where two suspects had reportedly booked a room. 'Further intelligence led them to KwaMashu in Durban, which was the home of one of the suspects. 'The suspect's vehicle was later found at this panel-beater workshop. Upon inspection by SAPS forensic experts, traces of blood were found inside the vehicle,' Mathe said. 'Police are still searching for two men believed to have been directly involved in the murder of Olorato. 'The two suspects are on the run and members of the public are urged to distribute their photos far and wide to assist police investigations,' Mathe said. Mathe said police have identified the wanted suspects as Fezile Ngubane and Philangenkosi Sibongokuhle Makhanya. She said the duo is considered dangerous and community members are cautioned not to confront them. Police urged members of the public to immediately contact Brigadier Nama at 082 778 9035 if they spot the suspects. 'These suspects are warned to hand themselves over at their nearest police station,' Mathe said. National police commissioner General Fannie Masemola has expressed gratitude to the task team and its collaborative partners, which include the SAPS Gauteng Provincial Investigation Unit, the KZN Hawks Tracking Team, Durban Metro Police K-9 Unit, as well as private security services.

Lee Jae-myung's rise from poverty to brink of South Korean presidency
After losing by a gossamer thin margin in 2022, the Democratic Party candidate has returned to the ballot, and is now poised to replace the political rival he was instrumental in unseating. Opponents decry Lee, 60, for his populist style. But his rags-to-riches personal story sets him apart from many of South Korea's political elite. After dropping out of school to work at a factory to support his family, he suffered a disabling elbow injury in an industrial accident. He earned a scholarship to study law and passed the bar to become an attorney. Lee has used this origin story to cultivate a loyal support base and frame himself as understanding the struggles of the underprivileged. "You can worry about people outside shivering in the cold while you sit in your warm living room," Lee told AFP in a 2022 interview. "But you can never really understand their pain." Polls suggest the margin between Lee and his closest challenger, conservative Kim Moon-soo of the People Power Party, has narrowed in recent days, with some showing a single-digit margin. But Lee has consistently maintained his lead since the race was triggered by the impeachment of former president Yoon Suk Yeol over his brief declaration of martial law in December. Live-streaming a crisis South Korea has experienced a leadership vacuum since lawmakers suspended Yoon for deploying armed troops to parliament in his failed attempt to suspend civilian rule. During the tense minutes following that move, Lee live-streamed his frantic scramble over the perimeter fence as he and other lawmakers rushed to vote down the martial law decree. "It was a race against time," he recalled in an interview with AFP. Lee previously served as mayor of Seongnam, south of Seoul, for eight years. In that role, he helped shut down what had been the country's largest dog meat market -- ending a trade that had once involved 80,000 canines a year. He later served as governor of Gyeonggi Province -- the country's most-populous region surrounding the capital -- for more than three years. Lee lost his 2022 bid for the presidency to Yoon by one of the smallest margins in South Korean history. And in 2024 he was stabbed in the neck by a man posing as a supporter and was airlifted to hospital for emergency surgery. The attacker later confessed that his intention was to kill Lee to prevent him from becoming president. If elected next week, Lee has vowed, among other things, to boost South Korea's artificial intelligence industry, with the goal of making the country one of the top three global leaders in the field. He has also called for holding those involved in the martial law attempt accountable -- promising to "bring insurrection elements to justice". During his early days in politics, Lee drew criticism for his confrontational attacks on political opponents. But Kim Hye-kyung, his wife of 34 years with whom he shares two children, insists Lee speaks with "deliberation". "He's someone who's come up from the margins, from the very bottom," she said in a 2017 interview. "Just like how a flea has to jump to be noticed, I hope people can understand and view him in that context." Legal troubles Lee has been dogged by legal troubles of his own, including allegations of corruption tied to a real estate development and violations of election law through the dissemination of false information. He has denied any wrongdoing, insisting the charges are politically motivated. In early May, Seoul's Supreme Court overturned a lower court's acquittal of Lee on election law charges and ordered a retrial. But with the election looming, the Seoul High Court postponed the proceedings until after the June 3 vote. If Lee wins, legal experts say the proceedings would be suspended due to presidential immunity, and would only resume after his single five-year term ends in 2030. Lee's opponents argue the charges are serious enough to disqualify him from running. "With these kinds of corruption allegations, how can you seek public office?" Kim Moon-soo, his main opponent in next week's vote, said during a televised debate on Friday.
