How does the brand support the local community?

The new space aims to be a hub for local fitness enthusiasts rather than just a shop. Management plans to host regular movement sessions and organised runs starting from the store. On has already formed a partnership with the local Barry’s gym at The Avenues. These initiatives focus on building genuine ties with runners and athletes within the Kuwaiti fitness ecosystem.

Why is the partnership with Amal Al-Roumi significant?

On has partnered with Kuwaiti Olympian Amal Al-Roumi to strengthen its local cultural ties. She made history as the first female 800m Olympian for Kuwait at the Paris 2024 games. Her journey in professional sport reflects the brand’s focus on progress and high performance. This collaboration aims to inspire the next generation of runners across the Gulf region.
