Most recently, the most aesthetically pleasing workout spots have been popping up all over the city, which is so much more than just your average gym. You may find yourself stretching in a monotonal zen-like atmosphere, or attending a spin class in a workout space filled with sounds blended by a DJ and along with LED lights. Discovering a gym that’s right for you is crucial. Training our bodies has not only a healing but a holistic effect, complemented further by the environment we work out in. It’s time to try out something new. These are the newest sports studios to sign up to, that have just opened in Dubai.
