Little Gladiators is the world’s first children’s fitness centre and it’s located in no other than our beloved city, Dubai. The centre aims to fight childhood obesity in the UAE, while ensuring that the kids have fun at the same time. 

Basically it’s a playground, miniature spa and gym- all in one. 

Why a fitness centre for children and in Dubai?

Little Gladiators founders’ Javed and Shanna Gani, who moved from South Africa just last year told Khaleej Times that they were inspired by HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, who aims to reduce childhood obesity from 34% to 12% by 2021.
