Friday 10 April 2026. oceanman_maldives made history this morning by successfully hosting the first and largest international sport event in the Maldives.

Preliminary observations from this Ramazan Fat Percentage Assessment program are (a) we start getting fat in our 30s and (b) 3 out of 4 people are classified fat in this year's group of 39 volunteers (35 men & 4 women). 

I was recently invited by The Wolves Club founder Hassan Rajab (Richard) to see his team in training for this year’s Eid Baibalaa Championship. I came to know Richard as a star student from the Batch 29 of the National Fitness Instructor Course I teach.

Students of the National Certificate III Fitness Instructor Course, Batch 30, completed their 5K Fitness Run today at the Hulhumale Athletics Track.

Students register their 5K Walk time at entry in week 1 of this 15-week, one semester course. They then complete a 5K Run in the 10th week to assess their cardiovascular fitness, which in turn goes into their Fitness Profile created over the course.

Swim Maldives staged The National Aquathlon Championships 2025 this morning in nearby Maafushi tourist island, only 30 minutes out of the capital city of Male’. Over a hundred athletes including the national top-ranking swimmers and runners created history with outstanding performances.

BATCH 30 of the National Fitness Instructor Certificate, Level III, started yesterday. This MQA approved foundation course is aimed at developing the competencies required of a certified fitness instructor. The course is based on the application of exercise science to fitness.

The Southwest Monsoon or Hulangu Moosun started in May this year. The frequency and unpredictability of rain and increased flooding keep some of our clients away from the gym.

Registration is now open for Batch 29 of the National Certificate III Fitness Instructor course. Registration deadline is 24 April. Course starts Sat 3 May 2025.

STATEMENT BY TECHNICAL DIRECTOR OF MALE’ FITNESS ACADEMY, HAMID ABDUL-GHAFOOR

Surfing prodigies Kayan and Sayyid endorses Male’ Fitness Club as their choice of gym for fitness and strength conditioning.

This National Certificate III has since become the gold standard for fitness instructors in the Maldives for students seeking a career in fitness and sports.

31 Oct 2024, Male’ Fitness Club signed an MOU with Hope Health Care.

In this age of cut-past solutions, the core values of fitness may appear fuzzy! It can get confusing! At the local level, the concept of fitness morph between the extreme of bodybuilding and health.

The concept of Natural Bodybuilding promoted by the WNBF will be a game changer for the Maldives in the fitness, sports and wellness space. Natural Bodybuilding is WADA compliant.

Students learn to apply sport science to the practice of fitness. Modern science-based approach to fitness recognises the social and qualitative aspects advanced by sports psychology and wellness. Registration open. Course starts 27 April 2024.

The Fuvahmulah City Council recently commissioned the Male’Fitness Academy to conduct a professional development activity on physical fitness and its health benefits for their staff, under the slogan “Energise & Excel”.

Our focus this month is to assess changes to body fat percentage from fasting.

Serious gym goers are interested in maintaining muscle mass. Restarting and new gym goers hope to loose weight during Ramadan.

The Ooredoo Fun Run on 23/12 was the lead up to New Year 2023 for all fitness enthusiasts. A quarter of the 5,000 runners can be assured that they are in reasonable fitness condition. 25% of the runners completed the run under 70 minutes. They were mostly children and young people. Not adults.

We start 2023 with high expectations. The first of which is the self, You!
