The UAE's fitness industry has a quality benchmark and it's coming to The Run Show.
REPs UAE is the official register for qualified fitness professionals across the UAE, established by Dubai Sports Council.
REPs UAE, the Emirates' independent register for qualified fitness professionals, has been confirmed as an official partner of The Run Show, taking place on 3 & 4 October 2026 at Dubai Exhibition Centre, Expo City Dubai.
What is REPs UAE?
Launched in 2013 and established by Dubai Sports Council, REPs UAE is the official register that recognises the qualifications, competence and professional standing of fitness professionals across the UAE. Personal Trainers, Yoga teachers, Group Fitness and Pilates Instructors, REPs sets the standard for what it means to work safely, ethically and effectively in the UAE fitness industry.
The register is part of a global network and a member of ICREPs (International Confederation of Registers for Exercise Professionals)), meaning REPs-accredited professionals are recognised not just locally, but worldwide.
Why It Matters for The Run Show
Running is one of the fastest-growing sports in the region, and behind every runner is a network of coaches, trainers and movement specialists helping them move better, recover smarter and go further. REPs UAE represents that professional community and their presence at The Run Show signals that this is an event built for the entire running ecosystem, not just race day.
Whether you're a PT looking to expand your client base into endurance sport, a running coach seeking CPD opportunities, or a fitness facility wanting to connect with the region's most active community, The Run Show is your floor.
We're delighted to be partnering with REPs UAE. The running community is supported by an incredible network of coaches, trainers and fitness professionals and this partnership makes sure they have a home at the event too.
