Dubai Muscle Show returns in December and promises to be bigger and better than ever.

The Middle East’s leading fitness and bodybuilding show is returning for a third season in December alongside a new-look Dubai Active Show on December 7-8 at Dubai World Trade Centre.

Big names already confirmed for the event are; four-time World’s Strongest Man Brian Shaw and Venezuelan social media superstar Michelle Lewin along with Mr Olympia Winners Jay Cutler, Ronnie Coleman and Dorian Yates.

Other stand out names include Branch Warren, William Bonac and Kevin Levrone.

More than 25,000 people are expected to visit over the two days and they can expect a much bigger show than in previous years.

Spanning 16,000 square metres of space – up from 10,600 square metres in 2017 – Dubai Muscle Show and Dubai Active Show will feature over 200 of the world’s leading sports, nutrition, fitness and bodybuilding brands, including Platinum Sponsors New Rock Sports and Life Pharmacy, Official Food Sponsor Fuel-Up, Silver Sponsor Optimum Nutrition, Sci-Mx, Wawan Protein and Buka Sports.

Remodeled to include an even broader array of fitness forms tailored to the more casual gym-goer, the new-look Dubai Active Show will feature a Yoga Festival, held in partnership with Art of Living UAE and GuavaPass, Les Mills Live Dubai fitness classes, which will be taking place on an exclusive Les Mills stage, the newly-introduced F45 Playoffs and a number of other group fitness classes and workout zones led by some of the biggest names in group fitness.

For fitness enthusiasts eager to test physical mettle, the shows offer a host of official sporting competitions and challenges. The International Federation of Bodybuilding (IFBB) Gulf Classic will see more than 800 competitors vie to win one of 14 pro-cards that fast-track competitors to the professional circuit. The Middle East’s Strongest Man and Woman will also be named during the show.

Other highlights include the TK Amateur Championships in MMA, boxing and Muay Thai, weightlifting competitions, the Gravity Calisthenics Cup, a series of freestyle pole performances at the Dubai Pole Cup, while one superhuman athlete will also be crowned Dubai’s Fittest Human. Finally, the benchmark for global fitness tests, the F45 playoffs – a functional, all body strength, agility and cardiovascular trial that tests competitors across four disciplines – will debut at Dubai Active Show.

Early Bird General Admission Tickets are priced at AED50 per day or AED75 for a weekend pass, increasing to AED75 per day or AED100 for a weekend pass at the Standard Rate on 3 November. Tickets are available from Platinum List. The Dubai Muscle Show takes place from 7-8 December 2017 at DWTC in Zabeel Halls 4, 5 & 6.
