BodyART fitness classes are coming to the UAE for the first time, with a two week demonstration at Gold’s Gym across the country.
Starting at Al Mussalla towers, Bur Dubai on October 26 and then moving on to other locations, the classes will be showcased by qualified and certified instructors.
BodyART, which was developed by German therapist Robert Steinbacher, combines yoga and Pilates, and also takes inspiration from Tai Chi and Qi Gong.
The workout focuses on strength, cardio and felixbility and has proved to be a big hit in Europe. It has been described as “Asian-inspired fusion of yoga and athleticism appealing to mind-body enthusiasts and hard-core athletes” and relies on “Eastern approaches of treating the entire body as one system, supplemented with a mentally holistic perspective.”
The Roadshow Schedule for BodyART is:
Al Mussalla Towers – October 26
Al Barsha Mall – October 27
Business Village – October 28
IBN Battuta Gate – October 29
Reef Mall, Deira – October 31
Etihad Mall – November 3
Al Nahda – November 5
Al Wahda Mall – November 9
Mazyad Mall – November 10

Business Insights
- Canada and Mexico are significant energy suppliers to the US, providing the majority of oil and natural gas imports
- The introduction of tariffs could hinder the US's clean energy initiatives by raising input costs for materials like nickel
- US domestic suppliers might benefit from higher prices, but overall oil consumption is expected to decrease due to elevated costs
How to invest in gold
Investors can tap into the gold price by purchasing physical jewellery, coins and even gold bars, but these need to be stored safely and possibly insured.
A cheaper and more straightforward way to benefit from gold price growth is to buy an exchange-traded fund (ETF).
Most advisers suggest sticking to “physical” ETFs. These hold actual gold bullion, bars and coins in a vault on investors’ behalf. Others do not hold gold but use derivatives to track the price instead, adding an extra layer of risk. The two biggest physical gold ETFs are SPDR Gold Trust and iShares Gold Trust.
Another way to invest in gold’s success is to buy gold mining stocks, but Mr Gravier says this brings added risks and can be more volatile. “They have a serious downside potential should the price consolidate.”
Mr Kyprianou says gold and gold miners are two different asset classes. “One is a commodity and the other is a company stock, which means they behave differently.”
Mining companies are a business, susceptible to other market forces, such as worker availability, health and safety, strikes, debt levels, and so on. “These have nothing to do with gold at all. It means that some companies will survive, others won’t.”
By contrast, when gold is mined, it just sits in a vault. “It doesn’t even rust, which means it retains its value,” Mr Kyprianou says.
You may already have exposure to gold miners in your portfolio, say, through an international ETF or actively managed mutual fund.
You could spread this risk with an actively managed fund that invests in a spread of gold miners, with the best known being BlackRock Gold & General. It is up an incredible 55 per cent over the past year, and 240 per cent over five years. As always, past performance is no guide to the future.

TOUCH RULES
Touch is derived from rugby league. Teams consist of up to 14 players with a maximum of six on the field at any time.
Teams can make as many substitutions as they want during the 40 minute matches.
Similar to rugby league, the attacking team has six attempts - or touches - before possession changes over.
A touch is any contact between the player with the ball and a defender, and must be with minimum force.
After a touch the player performs a “roll-ball” - similar to the play-the-ball in league - stepping over or rolling the ball between the feet.
At the roll-ball, the defenders have to retreat a minimum of five metres.
A touchdown is scored when an attacking player places the ball on or over the score-line.
