TRAIN HARDER. LOOK BOLDER.

The Founder Story 

A Fitness Enthusiast’s Struggle

Mohammed Arif Khan, a dedicated fitness enthusiast, lived for the grind of the gym in the UAE’s vibrant fitness scene. But his passion came with a cost—wrist pain, tennis elbow, and back discomfort, exacerbated by poor-quality gym accessories from the marketplace. High-priced brands, cloaked in slick marketing, offered flimsy products with little durability and no after-sales support, failing to protect athletes during intense workouts. Meanwhile, cheap, generic alternatives on marketplaces were unreliable, breaking down under pressure and contributing to injuries. Frustrated but undeterred, Arif knew athletes deserved better.

A Unique Blend of Expertise

With a background in IT and a family legacy in garment manufacturing, Arif brought a rare mix of technical precision and textile expertise to the table. His IT experience sharpened his ability to solve complex problems, while his family’s garment business gave him deep insights into quality production. Fueled by his personal experiences with gym injuries and a burning passion for fitness, Arif took matters into his own hands, determined to create a brand that would redefine activewear and accessories for athletes who push their limits.

Building MG Activewear

A Vision Born from Pain

Arif’s injuries from substandard gym accessories—wrist wraps that slipped, belts that failed, and straps that tore—inspired a bold mission: to craft military-grade gym accessories and sportswear that could withstand the toughest workouts. He founded MG Activewear to deliver gear that not only enhances performance but also protects athletes from injuries like wrist pain, tennis elbow, and back strain. Combining his technical know-how with his family’s manufacturing expertise, Arif set out to create products that empower gym athletes who like to push it to the max.

Testing for Excellence

At MG Activewear, quality is non-negotiable. Every product, from premium sportswear to military-grade weightlifting accessories, is rigorously tested by Arif himself and a team of the UAE’s top gym athletes. This hands-on approach ensures each item meets the highest standards of durability, comfort, and injury prevention. Whether it’s a wrist wrap designed to stabilize during heavy lifts or a belt built to support the spine, MG Activewear’s gear is crafted to perform under extreme conditions, giving athletes the confidence to go all out.

A Mission Beyond Profits

Empowering Athletes Across the UAE and GCC

MG Activewear isn’t just a brand; it’s a movement. Guided by the mantra “Muscle is more important than money,” Arif and his team are committed to serving fitness enthusiasts across the UAE and GCC. Unlike brands chasing quick profits, MG Activewear prioritizes performance, safety, and customer satisfaction, offering gear that protects and empowers athletes. Arif’s personal journey through gym injuries drives the brand’s mission to create accessories that prevent pain and enhance performance for those who refuse to hold back.

A Legacy of Impact

Today, MG Activewear stands as the UAE’s premier source for premium sportswear, military-grade weightlifting accessories, and gym-related products. What began as one man’s response to injury and frustration with a flawed industry has grown into a beacon of quality and trust for athletes across the region. Mohammed Arif Khan’s journey is a powerful testament to resilience, innovation, and purpose. Through MG Activewear, he’s not just crafting gear—he’s inspiring a generation of athletes to push harder, lift heavier, and conquer their goals without compromise.
