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

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.

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.
