2. Dubai Fitness Challenge – the ultimate athleisure essential

Iron Tribe, a young UAE-born athleisure wear brand promises power-packed versatility with its fresh vibes and minimalist style. It was imagined for the “social” athlete: the millennial urbanite who wants to save time and create a look that can take them from yoga to after hours.

Launched in 2019, Iron Tribe is now bringing its latest collection and first venture into women’s apparel with Resurge. Resurge is inspired by the re-entry into the new world we face post-covid. The Founder Raj Pagarani realised that there was an entire workforce that no longer needed to be constricted to high street fashion that was not functional.

With cool crisp pastel hues, the collection is devised to withstand the city’s heat. All the clothing is designed to be able to mix and match to create a look to take you through the day. However – Iron Tribe clearly stands out of the crowd because beyond comfort – it statement pieces that exude confidence. The Resurge range includes crop tops, shorts, leggings, sports bras and tank tops for women and shorts,vests and t-shirts  for men.
