Seena Akbary broke a world record for completing the challenge

The founder of Global Star Fitness is also a martial artist and an Underarmour athlete who broke a world record after completing this challenge. Akbary is no stranger to the fitness world since he’s trained for years since moving to Dubai to be able to achieve the challenges.

He says this challenge is “one of the hardest ones he’s done,” adding that in 9 hours he felt he’s learned many experiences one would learn in life for a year in under that amount of time. The self-focus, community support and strength that was necessary for completing his challenge, which he conducted at Kite Beach.

In 2021, he also did a tyre flipping challenge from 4.08 am to 6.55pm under the sun during Ramadan 

…and all while fasting! What kickstarted Seena’s entry into the challenge that he unlocked with the dumbbells kicked off when he flipped a tyre that weighed 250-400kgs. 

When talking to Lovin Dubai, Akbary says building habits is the key to getting to your goals, whether fitness or otherwise and finding your why.
