A new world record was set for the "most nationalities in a high-intensity interval training class." The event unfolded against the striking backdrop of Sheikh Zayed Road, in front of Dubai's iconic Museum of the Future.

The event kicked off early at 5 am with the most energetic and passionate group of people. One of the most remarkable architectural gems of the UAE, the Museum of the Future, provided a unique and dynamic backdrop. The early morning session served not only as a physical challenge but also as a symbol of cultural harmony, as participants from different corners of the world came together to break down barriers through the universal language of fitness. The event wasn't just about breaking a world record; it embodied the spirit of collaboration, and breaking down cultural and geographical boundaries in the pursuit of a shared goal—health and wellness.
