For the first time in its history, the Oakleaf Fitness Fiesta will take place in Abuja, marking a significant expansion of the wellness-focused event. Scheduled for Saturday, October 4, the fiesta will be held at the Monoliza Amusement Park, Dikko Road, beginning at 8:00 am.
The annual event, organized by Oakleaf Pharma, is designed to spread the message of healthy living, fitness, and vibrant lifestyles among Nigerians. It has previously been held in other cities, but the move to the nation’s capital signals its growing recognition as a platform for community health awareness.
Organisers said they expect between 400 to 500 participants in Abuja, including fitness enthusiasts, healthcare professionals, families, and members of the general public who are eager to embrace healthier lifestyles.
The event will feature activities such as aerobics, yoga, strength training sessions, health checks, and nutrition talks aimed at encouraging long-term wellness habits.
Dipo Adetuyi, Managing Director of Oakleaf Pharma, explained why Abuja was chosen as the latest host city. He described it as a natural choice, pointing to the capital’s dynamic population and growing interest in health-conscious living.
“Abuja has an active, vibrant community that is increasingly aware of the importance of fitness and wellness,” Adetuyi said. “We see the Oakleaf Fitness Fiesta as an opportunity to not only promote physical activity but also create an environment where people can learn practical ways to stay healthy.”
The fiesta has become known for its inclusive approach, attracting individuals from different age groups and fitness levels. Organisers stress that the event is not just for athletes or gym regulars but also for families looking to bond through shared physical activities. Children-friendly programs and family-oriented wellness sessions are also on the schedule.
Beyond fitness exercises, the event highlights the link between lifestyle choices and long-term health outcomes. Healthcare professionals will be present to provide free consultations, basic screenings, and educational materials on preventing chronic illnesses through balanced living.
The Abuja edition marks another milestone in Oakleaf Pharma’s efforts to merge community engagement with healthcare advocacy. By combining fun, exercise, and education, the organisers aim to create a festive yet impactful experience that participants can carry into their daily routines.
With a strong turnout expected, the Oakleaf Fitness Fiesta in Abuja is poised to strengthen its reputation as one of Nigeria’s premier wellness events, inspiring healthier living in the capital city and beyond.
