With its extensive gym equipment and beautifully designed rooms that feel more boutique retreat than gym, it’s stylish and deeply restorative, whether you’re sweating it out, winding down, or staying for the vibe.

Embody Fitness

For a more clinical, results-driven take on luxury training, Embody Fitness has built its reputation on transformation. The brand landed in Dubai in 2017 with a base in the Lamborghini Building on Sheikh Zayed Road, before adding a second outpost in DIFC’s ICD Brookfield Place in 2022. This is personal training at its most bespoke, with trainers, nutritionists and sports therapists building programmes designed to deliver visible change in as little as eight weeks. The fit-out leans into five-star spa territory rather than your average gym, with a recovery suite for ice baths and saunas and treatment rooms for sports massage.

Brothers Wellness Club

Set in leafy Al Wasl, Brothers bills itself as the Middle East’s first members-only boutique gym.

Recovery is covered with ice baths, saunas and a solarium, and the club rounds things out with an on-site restaurant serving nutritious meals and a resident nutrition specialist.
