MMA takes center stage in Dubai with AB Fitness

Dubai, renowned for its luxury and extravagant lifestyle, is now gaining prominence in the Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) scene, thanks to Bhupesh Kamble's elite gym, AB Fitness, which is arguably Dubai's most expansive gym.

A hotspot for fitness enthusiasts and budding MMA contenders, Bhupesh, a skilled MMA combatant and the owner of this upscale fitness sanctuary, has emerged as a powerful figure in the field, orchestrating major MMA events and nurturing emerging talents. Yet, his path to success was filled with obstacles, notably the profound effects of the Covid-19 pandemic.

A fight for survival

The pandemic brought unprecedented challenges, affecting countless businesses worldwide, and Bhupesh’s premium gym was no exception. The strict lockdowns, social distancing norms, and the overall apprehension surrounding physical fitness centers meant that sustaining the business became an uphill battle. For Bhupesh, this period was a testament to his resilience and determination, values he cultivated through years of grueling MMA training and fights.

Emerging stronger

Bhupesh managed to navigate through these tumultuous times by adapting swiftly; he moved all his clients to online classes and COVID-approved personal training. After the COVID-19 hiatus, Bhupesh jumped back on the saddle and set his eyes on Gym Mina Rashid Dubai, revamping the place to be the fitness hub of Dubai. At a moment's notice, the gym is able to be converted into an MMA arena.
