Garmin Fitness Fest Celebrates UAE National Day with Dubai Autism Center: A Day of Inclusion, Movement & Community Spirit

Garmin UAE celebrated UAE National Day by expanding its flagship community initiative, Garmin Fitness Fest (GFF), sharing the joy of movement and fitness with students at the Dubai Autism Centre.

This special activation continues the success of Garmin Fitness Fest 2025 – Winter Chapter, reinforcing Garmin’s mission to build a healthier, more connected, and inclusive UAE.

A Community Movement with Purpose

At its core, Garmin Fitness Fest is more than a multi-sport event; it’s a nationwide movement designed to inspire people across the UAE to embrace health, fitness, and overall well-being. With its growing impact year after year, GFF continues to champion the values of confidence, community, and empowerment through movement.

Extending the GFF Experience to Dubai Autism Center

As part of the UAE National Day celebrations, Garmin UAE brought the spirit of GFF directly to the Dubai Autism Center, turning the day into a vibrant celebration of inclusion and joy.

The center came alive with energy as students participated in a variety of fun, confidence-building sports activities, including:

• Balance walks
• Hurdle jumps
• Hula-hoop stations
• Cone walks
• Target throws

Each challenge was thoughtfully designed to boost coordination, motivation, and self-expression while ensuring every child felt celebrated and supported.

A Day of Movement, Smiles & Togetherness

At Garmin UAE, we believe that sports create confidence, fitness builds independence, and togetherness strengthens every community.

This activation was a true reflection of those values, filled with teamwork, laughter, and meaningful connections that honoured the UAE National Day spirit.

Empowering Young Champions to #BeatYesterday

To celebrate the effort and enthusiasm of the students, Garmin UAE proudly gifted 50 Garmin watches to the young winners. A symbolic gesture to keep them inspired to move, explore, and unleash their potential every day.

These watches represent more than technology; they represent encouragement, motivation, and the belief that every child should have the tools to grow stronger, healthier, and more confident.

A Celebration of Movement

Garmin UAE remains committed to growing the impact and reach of Garmin Fitness Fest across the nation. Our vision is to create a movement that goes beyond fitness events, delivering inclusive experiences that welcome everyone, regardless of age or ability.

Through community programs, inspiring workshops, and meaningful initiatives, we aim to empower individuals to embrace an active lifestyle and move with purpose.

Every step and every challenge is an opportunity to strive for progress, to push boundaries, and to always #BeatYesterday.
