The Supreme Organising Committee of the Open Masters Games Abu Dhabi 2026 has unveiled the Open Masters Games Blueprint Training Programme, a wide-reaching initiative designed to prepare the local community for the upcoming international sporting event. The programme, which will run until 2 February 2026, will offer free training sessions at Khalifa Square, Zayed Sports City Majlis, and HARAKA gym.
Structured as a lead-up to the 2026 Games, the Blueprint Training Programme features a diverse mix of activities tailored for all ages and fitness levels. Highlights include family fitness workouts featuring games and challenges for every family member, walking sessions to foster movement and build community connection, mobility training aimed at improving flexibility and reducing stiffness, strength exercises to build confidence and stability, and functional fitness classes to boost energy, endurance, and overall performance.
According to the Supreme Organising Committee, the initiative captures the vision of the Games: to inspire the wider community to embrace sports, foster vitality, and celebrate health and passion across all age groups. The programme reflects the values of the Open Masters Games Abu Dhabi 2026, particularly the belief in accessibility—that sport and physical activity should be open to everyone, regardless of age or experience.
