The four-year agreement will see the National Sevens and XVs teams granted immediate use of the diverse facilities and amenities at various Gold’s Gyms throughout the UAE, and one that will see the Gold’s Gym logo positioned on players official playing and work-out kit.

“We are very proud to enter into this agreement with UAE Rugby. Aligning with this governing body dovetails perfectly into Gold’s Gyms principles and amplifies our commitment to local sports,” said Mohamed Khammas, CEO Al Ahli Holding Group, owner of the Gold’s Gym franchise in UAE.

“Strength and conditioning remains an integral component of any sportspersons programme and we are delighted we can work with UAE Rugby to develop and maintain each player’s fitness level.”

Through regular training at Gold’s Gyms players will be able to record their specific development and training programmes, and feed their ongoing statistics into a central database.
