What is The Dubai Fitness Championship?
The Dubai Fitness Championship is an annual competitive fitness showdown taking place in Dubai, UAE. It’s goal is to bring together individual athletes from around the world to compete in the spirit of fitness.

Starting in 2012 to raise awareness on the importance of exercise and health, the event quickly gained momentum in the fitness world, attracting top elite athletes from around the globe. Generous cash prizes and Dubai as the ultimate destination facilitated this rapid growth.
The Dubai Fitness Championship has evolved over the last five years from a local competition to a global event. Not only have the athletes changed from UAE residents and a few visitors to professional Games athletes, but the format has also progressed significantly.
Prior to 2016, the qualifiers were held the weekend ahead of the finals across multiple gyms around Dubai. This was followed by a week to prepare for the finals on the second week. In 2016 we introduced the online qualifier to make the competition accessible to more athletes, but also to increase exposure and expectations.
