Rixos x Dubai Fitness Challenge 2025
Rixos The Palm Dubai proudly joins the Dubai Fitness Challenge this November with a dynamic programme of complimentary fitness sessions designed to inspire movement, balance, and recovery. Each week, the resort transforms into a playground for wellness enthusiasts, blending expert-led training with stunning seaside views.
With limited capacities for each event, participants are encouraged to book early and experience a month of transformative fitness in one of Dubai's most inspiring waterfront settings, a true celebration of the Dubai Fitness Challenge spirit.
Aqua Boxing introduces high-energy punches and defensive movements performed against the resistance of water. This joint-friendly practice boosts endurance, tones the upper body, and provides an empowering release of energy.
Sound Healing uses Tibetan bowls, gongs, and frequency-based instruments to guide participants into deep relaxation, meditation, and mental clarity. This final session helps consolidate the benefits of the previous practices, leaving participants with a sense of calm, balance, and renewed energy.
Aqua Fitmat introduces balance-board exercises performed on water. Participants activate their core, strengthen stabilizing muscles, and improve coordination while enjoying a fun and unique workout experience.
Functional Training is a full-body workout based on everyday movements, engaging multiple muscle groups to build strength, improve balance, and enhance core stability. The aquatic environment adds gentle resistance, making exercises joint-friendly while increasing effectiveness.
