- Mental Gym returns in a new and improved 2.0 edition, conceptualized by Cameo Comms and brought to life in partnership with Quince and The Man Cave Project, to help participants level up in love, health and career
Dubai, UAE: Math, science, and history were easy. Life’s real lessons? Not so much. From handling rejection to managing money, setting boundaries, and navigating career hurdles, these are the skills that shape a fulfilling life, and Mental Gym is here to teach them.
Mental Gym 2.0 is back – an event co-hosted by The Man Cave Project, the UAE’s leading men’s mental health community, and hosted at Quince Restaurant & Café, Dubai’s vibrant Mediterranean dining destination. The concept was originally created by Cameo Comms, the UAE’s first performance PR agency, which has been credited with launching the country’s first Mental Gym. Together, the three partners have created an immersive evening designed to help participants level up in love, health, career, and finance.
Flex Your Mind with Table Masters
The evening begins with 20 minutes of networking over canapés, before participants draw a card that assigns them a theme – love, health, career, or finance. They are then seated at a table dedicated to that theme, where a Table Master, an expert in their field, guides them through interactive challenges. These include role-play scenarios, communication exercises, and problem-solving tasks designed to spark reflection and practical learning. Each Table Master ensures participants not only engage but leave with actionable takeaways.
The night concludes with a three-course Mediterranean dinner at Quince Restaurant and Café, featuring specialties such as sourdough pizzas, vibrant salads, and other innovative dishes.
Quince: Where Growth Meets Cuisine
As a sister brand to Dubai’s premier performance sports facility, 700 Padel & Fitness Hub, Quince Restaurant & Café is the perfect venue for Mental Gym. While 700 Padel & Fitness Hub helps people achieve peak physical performance, Quince creates the ideal space to nurture mental and emotional growth on this occasion.
Owned by a dynamic father-and-son duo, Quince boasts a vibrant Mediterranean menu personally curated by Abdulla, the owner. Guests can look forward to standout dishes such as artisanal sourdough pizzas, pan-fried salmon, wagyu burgers, and seafood risotto, alongside a variety of fresh, innovative recipes.
Abdulla, owner of Quince, shares: “We’re thrilled to host Mental Gym at Quince. This event allows our community to focus on personal development while enjoying an exceptional dining experience.”
The Man Cave Project Joins the Journey
The workshops are co-hosted with The Man Cave Project, the UAE’s leading Men’s Mental Health Community founded by Adil. The Man Cave Project unites men who are committed to becoming the best versions of themselves, offering mentorship, guidance, and practical tools for growth across personal development, emotional intelligence, relationships, and career success.
Adil has dedicated his life’s mission to helping men level up, and at Mental Gym 2.0 he will not only serve as the evening’s MC but also take part as one of the Table Masters, sharing his expertise and inspiring participants firsthand.
