Whether you’re looking for high-intensity, sweat-inducing cardio classes or a slow-movement strength-based session, Dubai has a plethora of gyms that can satisfy all your workout needs.
The pinnacle of luxury at one, with pressed juices and spa treatments or an intense nightclub-like session at another, your fitness goals deserve tailoring and spaces of their own.
With this in mind, GRAZIA has compiled a list of the best gyms in Dubai, with a range of services, locations and atmospheres.
Warehouse Gym
If you’re looking for that cool gym in Dubai, chances are it’s The Warehouse Gym. With eight locations across the emirate, the spaces offer an industrial, neon-lit haven. From free weights and squat racks to spin studios and juice bars, they cover your cardio and strength needs with abundance. And even offer recovery treatments to keep you fully protected.
Reform Athletica
Notably “not a gym”, Reform Athletica is a fitness boutique that offers reformer pilates, strength training and yoga. Inspired by the fitness landscape in New York, London and LA, they recently expanded to two branches in Dubai. Surrounded by art and tranquillity, this vibrant community offers a beautiful space to physically push yourself.
FitnGlam
For women, by women. FitnGlam is a women-only space that set out to revolutionise the ladies’ fitness landscape in the region. With multiple branches across the UAE, they offer tailored classes, personal training sessions, top-of-the-line equipment and more. From belly dancing to HITT, this is a place for exploring the vast world of fitness, in an empowering all-female space.
1Rebel
From Saudi to London to Dubai, no UAE fitness round-up is complete without the award-winning 1Rebel. A cult favourite that’s expanding across the globe, 1Rebel is the self-proclaimed “Ultimate Fitness Destination.” The gym offers three avenues: Reshape, a treadmill-focused HIIT session; Ride, a strenuous spin class; and Open Gym an unstructured zone that is fully equipped for cardio and strength training.
The Burj Club
The ultimate luxury gym experience is found in none other than The Burj Khalifa. With mesmerising views of the metropolis city surrounding you, The Burj Club doesn’t only offer a premium gym and high-class equipment. With gourmet rooftop dining and rejuvenating spa treatments, the two-floored club offers a next-level experience.
Barry’s
The celeb fave Barry’s has two locations in Dubai, that intend to “shock” your body into results. A treadmill-focused class format, that simultaneously attacks your cardio and strengths goals. Accompanied by loud pumping music and moody red LED lights, this a no-fuss hardcore yet quick option for your fitness needs.
