Dubai’s fitness scene is expanding rapidly, fuelled by a growing number of international tourists and expats. As the demand for fitness events and facilities continues to rise, the city has become a hotspot for global fitness competitions and wellness initiatives, including the Dubai Fitness Championship, Fittest in the City, and the Dubai Active Show.
Among those leading the charge in catering to this demand is FIVE Hotels and Resorts. Known for its luxury accommodations, FIVE also delivers world-class fitness experiences for its guests. During The Rx Review’s recent trip to Dubai, we had the opportunity to train at both of FIVE’s iconic resorts: FIVE LUXE and FIVE Palm Jumeirah, and we were thoroughly impressed.
Move at FIVE Palm Jumeirah: The Coolest Outdoor Gym in Dubai
At FIVE Palm Jumeirah, you’ll find one of the most exceptional outdoor gyms in the world. Move at FIVE rivals the famed “Muscle Beach” in LA, offering a fitness experience unlike any other. The gym’s breathtaking location, with panoramic views of Dubai Marina’s skyline and the Arabian Gulf, provides the perfect backdrop for an invigorating workout.
The gym is outfitted with top-of-the-line equipment, including dumbbells, benches, pin-loaded machines, squat racks, Olympic barbells, lifting platforms, ropes, Olympic rings, and pull-up bars. There’s also plenty of open space for boxing and cardio activities, allowing for a complete workout experience.
For those who enjoy training outdoors, Move at FIVE offers a variety of high-energy classes held on the beach. Sessions like ‘Pump and Grind’ and ‘Beach Body Bootcamp’ combine fun, intense exercises with the stunning beauty of the beach, giving you an unforgettable fitness experience.
Not a fan of outdoor training? No problem. FIVE Palm Jumeirah also boasts a world-class indoor gym, providing a climate-controlled environment for those who prefer to work out in air-conditioned comfort during the scorching summer months.
Train with Stunning Views at FIVE LUXE
Not to be outdone, FIVE LUXE offers another exceptional fitness destination, making its debut in March 2024. With its state-of-the-art facilities, this resort is quickly becoming one of Dubai’s premier fitness destinations.
The gym features both indoor and outdoor sections, providing ample options for every type of workout. The indoor space is equipped with an impressive range of cardio machines, including bikes, rowers, treadmills, and step machines. You’ll also find top-quality dumbbells, ropes, medicine balls, kettlebells, mats, and other essential fitness gear to complete your routine.
The outdoor fitness area at FIVE LUXE is equally impressive. Situated on the 6th floor, it offers breathtaking views of the Arabian Gulf and a dedicated area for weightlifting, complete with squat racks, gymnastics rigs, and a large open space for functional training. Additionally, daily yoga sessions are held outdoors, giving you the opportunity to start your day with a peaceful, scenic workout.
Shake Things Up at MOVE by FIVE Jumeirah Village
For those keen to stay in the heart of Dubai, FIVE Jumeirah Village offers yet another state-of-the-art fitness centre, consistent with the facilities at FIVE LUXE and FIVE Palm Jumeirah. The gym itself is spacious and well-equipped, featuring an impressive range of cardio machines, free weights, advanced resistance training equipment, and a decent sized rig to cater for gymnastics and Olympic Lifting.
For those who like to shake things up, Move at FIVE Jumeirah Village offers dedicated spaces for group classes and private training sessions. Expect everything from high-intensity interval training (HIIT) to rejuvenating yoga and spinning sessions. The gym even has a specialised spin studio with eight bikes for cycling enthusiasts, making it an ideal space for a dynamic workout.
Guests can also take advantage of wellness offerings like the sauna and hot tub to unwind after a vigorous workout session!
FIVE Hotels and Resorts: A Fitness Destination Like No Other
