Dubai-based RAG Holdings has announced the opening of the Community Arena at its RAG Biz HQ business centre on Sheikh Zayed Road free of charge to fitness and wellness communities as part of the Dubai Fitness Challenge 30x30 initiative, which kicked off on October 31 and runs until November 29.

The initiative will offer 30 sessions over 30 days, including yoga, sound healing and mat Pilates, with the venue available at no cost to fitness trainers and wellness practitioners to host sessions and engage with the wider community, said a statement from RAG Holdings.

The programme also features cat yoga, organised in partnership with Abu Dhabi-based cat adoption NGO Masters of Cat Management, which will showcase cats during sessions and encourage on-site adoptions.

As part of its broader wellness strategy, RAG Holdings has also converted the recreational space at RAG Biz HQ into a longevity-focused area for coworking clients. The facility includes a longevity library, fitness and wellness educational videos, a red-light therapy mask, a walking desk and a stationary bike.

Rassal Ahmed, founder and chief executive of RAG Holdings, said the initiative supports government efforts to encourage healthier lifestyles while extending the company's role beyond providing office space and business services.

The company aims to create a workplace environment that supports the physical and mental wellbeing of clients and employees, he said.

Mohammed Aslam, co-founder and managing director of RAG Holdings, said the Dubai Fitness Challenge provides an opportunity to open the business centre to the wider community and assess which activities attract the most participation.

The company operates three business centres in Dubai: RAG Global Business Hub in Al Qusais, RAG Biz HQ on Sheikh Zayed Road and RAG Tower in Al Barsha. Its services include office and coworking facilities, company formation, visa solutions, PRO services, accounting, corporate compliance and business advisory, he added.-TradeArabia News Service
