Competing at Precision Games Pairs!
Last weekends “Precision Games Pairs” competition here in Dubai saw seven InnerFight teams competing fueled by the power of our community. Over 300 individuals braved the sweltering Dubai heat at this outdoor event taking on five grueling workouts, which saw tests of strength, power and endurance.
Local fitness competitions such as these and the infamous Turf Games are on the rise, allowing our CrossFit community to put their hard work from our mainline class program to the test. One such test was a “hang clean and clean complex” which brought many of our athletes new personal bests….the power of a competition environment!
Our support crew matched our competitors in number, also braving the savage conditions for hours on Saturday afternoon. As Moe Abeidat highlighted “it felt like we were one big solid team and fitness family.”
The next local competition is the Turf Games, which takes place at Dubai Sports City on 10th-12th November where we will have six teams taking part. If you want to see the guys training you can stop InnerFight this coming Saturday, the 14th of November at 11 AM. For more details, reach out to Andy.
