Australian fitness superstar Kayla Itsines had fans queuing up to take part in her brutal boot camp at Dubai Active on Sunday, October 27.
Workout enthusiasts armed with yoga mats and resistance bands flocked in droves to the Dubai Exhibition Centre as Itsines teamed up with Katie Martin to deliver the special hour-long session.
With an incredible 15.8 million followers on Instagram, Itsines was the star guest at this year’s expo.
After hosting a Dubai Active Q&A and meet-and-greet on Saturday, the global personal trainer demonstrated exactly why she’s one of the best in the business.
Taking to the Active Arena stage, the author of Bikini Body Guides put a packed room of fans through their paces.
Itsines motivated the crowd with her favourite mantra, ‘How you do anything is how you do everything,’ leading the workout by example.
Kayla Itsines
Born in Adelaide, South Australia, Kayla Itsines started posting fitness content on social media at the recommendation of her then-12-year-old cousin.
Her full-throttle, high-intensity approach quickly resonated with fans, and in the decade that has passed since, the 33-year-old has become one of the most influential athletes on the planet.
Although Itsines still resides in her native Australia, she’s known to be a huge fan of Dubai’s workout scene. If you’ve followed her Vlogs for any length of time, you’ll know she’s been a frequent visitor to the Gulf Tiger.
