The beginning of October marks the onset of Breast Cancer Awareness month – a disease that has caused 627,000 deaths which approximately amounts to 15% of all cancer deaths. Bodytree, Abu Dhabi’s original and only fitness studio that has dedicated itself to providing health and wellness solutions to its patrons has again taken on the responsibility to spread awareness about breast cancer throughout the month of October.

Having won acclaim from Rahma Cancer Care Patient Society for their unparalleled charity work in the past, Bodytree and its instructors will again be donating profits from paid classes to another charitable cause, as well as hosting wellness programs and talks, health check-ups and more, centered around the cause.
