  • Jay Cutler and Kai Greene train in front of the Burj Al Arab

    The Dubai Muscle Show is in town this weekend with some of the fitness industry’s most celebrated names descending on the UAE.

    Leading up to the event, two of the biggest – in name and stature – hit the picturesque sandy seafront of the Jumeirah Beach Hotel as three-time Mr. Olympia runner-up Kai Greene and four-time Mr. Olympia winner Jay Cutler created Dubai’s very-own ‘Muscle Beach’.

    The pair will be making highly-anticipated appearances at this weekend’s Dubai Muscle Show on Friday 8 and Saturday 9 December at the Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC).

    But despite a packed schedule ahead of the weekend, Greene and Cutler managed to squeeze in a session with the iron, overlooking the iconic Burj Al Arab.

    “I’ve worked out on some of the best beaches in the world, but this one has some serious muscle,” said Greene, who won the Arnold Classic in 2016.

    “Bodybuilders love a suntan, so there’s nothing quite like doing some weight sets on the beach – especially when you have a view of one of the world’s most iconic buildings.”

    With more than 16.5 million social media followers between them, Greene has emerged as a breakout TV star thanks to his role as Funshine in season 2 of Netflix hit, Stranger Things.

    The American was also involved in the filming of upcoming martial arts movie, Crazy Fist, due for release in 2018.

    The winner of four Mr. Olympia titles, Cutler is a legendary IFBB professional bodybuilder who has built a lasting legacy on sacrifice, dedication and hard work – not to mention a reported net worth of $81million.

    “We’re already super pumped about seeing our fans at the Dubai Muscle Show, so it’s been great having one last beach workout with Kai before the show,” added Cutler. “I mean, come on, how often do you get to pump iron in front of the Burj Al Arab Jumeirah?”

    The second annual Dubai Muscle Show takes place from 8-9 December at DWTC in Zabeel Halls 5 and 6.

    A single-day Adult price is currently available for Dh75 online on the event website. Other packages include: Weekend Adult Pass at Dh100 online; VIP tickets for both days cost Dh500; general admission for the Reebok Les Mills Live event costs Dh299 with VIP tickets available for Dh479.
