  • GoYAS is only open to women, with trainers and staff all strictly female.

    The female-only initiative by Daman’s ActiveLife and under the patronage of Fatima bint Mubarak Ladies Sports Academy, is designed to get women up and moving with fun and healthy activities in the comfort of privacy in the nation’s capital every Wednesday.

    Whether you want to let loose on the track at whatever pace you please, or engage in the range of cycling and group classes, there are plenty of ways to improve your fitness.

    Activities are supervised by an internationally-certified female trainer, while all staff at the event will also be strictly female, allowing women their own space away from the general public.

    Since May 4, GoYAS has held weekly Mom+Me runs from 18:00 to 19:00.

    The guided interval training sessions, which are open to all, are led by experienced runners. No pre-registration is required, with the group meeting at the GoYAS entry gate. Girls aged five and above, along with boys under 10 can join their mothers for the sessions.

    You can also improve your training with N+TC, which will be at GoYAS with different activities every week.

    All classes are free of charge and registration will be available on site on the day.

    The activities take place on the Formula One track.

    GoYAS will feature #theADmovement on June 15. The event will take a holistic approach to health and wellness and include a number of activities centred on fitness, nutrition, well-being, self-care and mindfulness.

    You can register for #theADmovement, as well as GoYAS, by checking out www.yasmarinacircuit.com.

    If you’re in need of a bike, Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi have you covered by providing 400 complimentary bikes for public use each week on a first-come, first-serve basis. Fun Ride Sports also have bikes and helmets available for Dh30 and can be pre-booked by emailing [email protected].

    GoYAS gates open at 18:00 and the event runs until 21:00. Entry to the track to run or walk is free, while payment for circuit and classes – open to ages 14 and above – can be made on the day.
