Abu Dhabi Sports Council has launched a long-term wellness campaign with a calendar of events aimed at bringing the community together and engaging.

The Abu Dhabi 360 Program is a new initiative to help every member of the community achieve whole-person wellness by redefining the personalized, achievable journey of health and fitness.

Abu Dhabi 360 is powered by an app that provides personalized guidance, encouragement, exercise tracking, challenges, recipes and other resources to help users set and achieve their nutritional, mental health, social and personal fitness goals. The app celebrates user victories by awarding points for completing various challenges, including team and community challenges, which they can redeem for event tickets, prizes, and more. The app integrates with wearable devices, enabling users to be supported wherever they go.

“Members of the community will be the drivers of this campaign,” said Aref Hamad Al Awani, Secretary General of Abu Dhabi Sports Council.

Abu Dhabi 360° defines wellness as the 360° balance of all aspects of wellness: physical, mental and social. The council’s Abu Dhabi 360 goals are driven by the government’s vision to become happier, healthier and more sustainable.

“The government’s Vision 2030 is to make Abu Dhabi the healthiest and happiest place in the world,” Al Awani noted.

Dr. Mugheer Khamis Al Khaili, Chairman of the Ministry of Community Development, said the 360-degree view of Abu Dhabi will spark a movement to improve health.

“It supports DCD’s vision to help individuals, their families and communities through an inclusive program that will inspire everyone, regardless of size, size, age or skill level, to pursue personal health and balance. The program is Implemented with the emirate’s many government partners as we work together to make Abu Dhabi the healthiest, happiest and most sustainable society to live in and visit,” he said after the launch at the Abu Dhabi Cricket Games Saihe Sports Center, featuring an installation of four immersive wellness zones.

Abu Dhabi 360 will also host events and activities integrated with the app, while evolving to reflect the voice of the community.

John Bromley, a public health consultant and director of the UK’s National Center for Social Marketing, emphasized that Abu Dhabi 360 will be a “true game changer” in public health.

“This multi-pronged evidence-based program aims to help people change their behavior by providing personalized tools so they can improve their own health. Our goal is to ensure that everyone feels empowered, motivated and Be more active in your daily life.”
