How to stay fit, and where to begin
Vivafit comes to Abu Dhabi
Portuguese Fitness brand Vivafit will launch its first branch in the UAE this October in Abu Dhabi. The women only European franchise will offer state-of-the-art health and fitness modules for a positive lifestyle change, weight-loss management, nutrition, fitness and coaching.

It will also invite dedicated dieticians and nutritionists to help women change their lifestyle.
