FitRepublik Fitness Center

Positive experience: Best gym in dubai. Great trainers expecially the yoga section. Well maintained and organized. Just 2 glitches on my side: (A) Locker room too small and without sauna. (B) It's still too pricey... ;-)

Fantastic experience: What an amazing facility. The gym is one of the best equip I have ever seen. Music is well balanced and not to loud. Not that this matters if you are locked in your own zone with headphones. Food places are also good with hi speed wifi.

Fantastic experience: Joined FitRepublik about 4 month ago, the best decision ever taken. So pleased with a facility, classes and coaches in particular! Boxing, BJJ and variety of group classes.

Fantastic experience: Brazilian jiu-jitsu at this place is the so much fun! For kids and for adults. I have been training here now for about 2 years. The community is so diverse, welcoming and friendly. My coach and my colleagues mentor and encourage and help me in my development. I can't imagine a better place to train bjj in Dubai. Don't feel worried- just come and try! You'll be well looked after

Fantastic experience: I have been to this gym for just over a year now and it feels like home. Coaches Gerson, Diego and Masoud are great martial arts instructors, offering great training for all levels. Highly recommend

Fantastic experience: I joined Fitrepublik a few months ago, the gym is fantastic and particularly the BJJ program and coach (Gerson Carvalho).

Fantastic experience: Fitrepublik is a very unique place as it offers different activities that can suit everyone's needs.

Fantastic experience: FitRepublik is an outstanding gym that has completely transformed my fitness journey, especially through its exceptional martial arts program. From the moment I walked in, I was impressed by the state-of-the-art facilities and the welcoming atmosphere. The martial arts program at FitRepublik is top-notch. The instructors are incredibly skilled, patient, and passionate about teaching. They provide personalized attention, ensuring that each student, whether a beginner or advanced, gets the most out of every session. The classes are well-structured, focusing on technique, discipline, and overall fitness, making them both challenging and enjoyable. I’ve noticed significant improvements in my strength, flexibility, and self-confidence since joining the martial arts classes. The supportive community at FitRepublik has made the experience even more rewarding, as fellow members and instructors motivate each other to push their limits and achieve personal goals. Whether you’re looking to learn self-defense, improve your fitness, or find a new hobby, I highly recommend FitRepublik’s martial arts program. It’s a fantastic place to train, grow, and become the best version of yourself. Big love to Coach Massoud and Coach Diego.

Fantastic experience: I would like to thank Heather and share my amazing experience with her class Qi-Gong. For those who doesn't know- it is energy practice. It was my first trial and I was on 33 hour if dry fasting appeared in the class with inner shaking from exhaust. After class end I felt "Brand new" I had so much energy, my emotional condition on top. That is amazing. I'm a new fun of qi-gong from now on. Thank you

Fantastic experience: I don t normally review anything on line but feel i hundred % need to for Heather at mind and body Fitrepublik motor city . After attending many yoga, pilates , stretch , breathwork classes over the last 6 years in Dubai ive become some what critical and disappointed. Heather is on another level she really is the whole package . From yin, to breath work, to meditation Qui gong the knowledge this incredible lady offers in every class is amazing i cannot praise her enough . Fitrepublik DO not lose her !!! She is a Scottish GEM ! I am not affiliated in any way but praise where praise is due

Fantastic experience: Best gym in Dubai and facilities, I recommend PT Hussein he’s one of the best coach for rehabilitation

Fantastic experience: The pool at Fit Republic just reopened, and it's better than ever! The water is perfect, and the whole area is spotless. Huge shoutout to the front-end team – they are always welcoming and super helpful. In my opinion: Best pool and team around! Highly recommend checking it out!

Fantastic experience: I absolutely love my gym! The vibes here are incredible, making every workout a pleasure. The staff is super friendly and always ready to help with a smile. The gym’s design is another highlight – the high ceilings and big windows create a wide, open view that makes me feel at ease and motivated. Hygiene is top-notch. The staff meticulously cleans every machine after each use, ensuring a spotless environment for everyone. This attention to cleanliness really sets the gym apart. Highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: The facility is absolutely incredible. You have a wide range of equipment, spaces, and fitness classes/programs that you can choose from. More importantly, the staff are beyond friendly and strike conversations with all members. They really do look out for you. However, the main shout out is to Hussein Bakeer who is the rehab trainer. His flexibility, passion, and drive to push you to meet your goals are what set him apart. The results are quick if you dedicate yourself to his program!

Fantastic experience: 5 stars to the mind and body department. The stretch and mobility class has improved my Ashtanga Practice so much. To each and every one of the instructors You are all an integral part of my journey. What a fantastic place with amazing humans!

Fantastic experience: Great facilities and altho on the higher price, you get the value. Worth it especially on the instructors/coaches. Been a member for over a month with access on group classes, yoga/pilates, boxing and swimming - and happy as of yet Update: Actually it gets busy during school for kids classes

Fantastic experience: I've been a member of the gym and couldn't be happier. The facility is always clean, and the staff are incredibly friendly and helpful

Fantastic experience: Convincing a boy to get involved in gymnastics is not easy but fit republik has made boys gymnastics ‘cool’ for my 8 year old son.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic gym, the coaches are top notch. The community is fantastic, I feel at home here.

Fantastic experience: The sports massage here is the best sports massage you will experience in Dubai. Eliza is *hands-down* the best therapist I've ever been to, and she will realistically be the only therapist I will ever continue to go to. 5 stars in every measure of the term.

Fantastic experience: Thank you Elisa great massage and great expertise when to come to sports / muscle injury

Fantastic experience: amazing gym , nice facility, Friendly staff!

Fantastic experience: Very nice facility, with friendly staff.highly recommended

Fantastic experience: Great gym. Best PT!

Fantastic experience: Love this gym! It’s spacious, good amount of machines and extended variety of classes! I had also an amazing personal trainer experience with Vernay who is such a fun and inspiring trainer! She made me stronger and happier each session, since I trained to regain straight after a serious medical treatment. Definitely recommend her if you are looking for a PT package. There is only one point of attention that I think should be improved: this gym does not offer towels for those who want to shower after training. I know it is a detail but it is a bit of a downside when you compare to the majority of gyms in Dubai.

Fantastic experience: I had an excellent experience at Elissa’s Sports Massage! Elissa is a true professional with a deep understanding of sports therapy. She tailored the session to address my specific sore spots and the results were fantastic. I left feeling rejuvenated and pain-free. Highly recommend for anyone looking for effective relief and expert care.

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym! One of the best in Dubai. Very good facilities, comfortable equipment, good location. Had a great session with personal trainer Alyona, Thanks FitRepublik for amazing experience!

Positive experience: I really like the open windows and the crowd. Not too much testosterone, dedicated fitness people, a nice cafe and all the annoying wristband thing they have going on in their two locations. They may think is a great thing, but is the reason they don’t get 5 star. Is annoying as hell, in this location and the SZR one is even worse. But besides this: a great if not one of the best, fitness centers.

Fantastic experience: Great staff and excellent facilities. The gym is well spaced out and even has a detailed body composition scanner. Been training with Vernay for the past year and cannot recommend her and FitRepublik enough!

Fantastic experience: I’ve recently started personal training sessions with Alyona at the gym. Overall, I’m quite happy with the facilities at gym and Alyona has been nothing but amazing helping me achieve my fitness goals.

Fantastic experience: Very Excellent Gym neat and spacious, feels good to workout here. Equipments are also nice. Expert Trainers ✅

Fantastic experience: Best gym in Dubai Alyona antonenko best personal trainer in uae She’s amazing

Fantastic experience: For PT, I absolutely love training with Andre! His session planning is incredibly meticulous, always geared towards progress. Andre's strong knowledge shines through as he customizes sessions to address my injuries and weaknesses. His professionalism and likable personality make every session enjoyable. Highly recommend! Come here to the ICE Cold / weekly when I can post swim, helps with regular triathlon training, great facility, well maintained and great service by Zipporah

Fantastic experience: I've recently started personal training sessions with Ms. Alyona, and I couldn't be happier. Her support exceeds my expectations, and she goes above and beyond to help me achieve my goals, pushing me beyond what I thought was possible. Overall in terms of the gym, The atmosphere at the gym and the staff's welcoming presence keep me excited to continue improving. The equipments are well put out and multiple option and facilities connecting with the gym.

Fantastic experience: Love the gym and its facilities, the cafe and the proximity, but most importantly I’m very happy with my PT Alyona and her approach. She keeps pushing me to do more and better, but in a very attentive and gentle way. I’ve been feeling myself much better and happier since I started my gym sessions with her❤️

Fantastic experience: An overdue review, since I’ve been going to this gym for a few years now. A big thank you to Shenaz who is always helpful and efficient when renewing my membership. The few other interactions I have had with the staff there( I only use the access to the pool) made me walk away with a smile on my face. Great facilities, amazing pool for laps, albeit it does get a bit crowded in the changing rooms during school holidays camps.

Fantastic experience: Great atmosphere to practice all experiences, neat, never over occupied & i stared with Chris Hobbs as my personal trainer where he takes it personal to focus on my objective & raising the bar to reach new levels every day of body building & enhancing mobility

Fantastic experience: Amazing facilities here at this gym, I wouldn’t train anywhere else I love this gym it has everything I need & more, Chris is my PT and he is so very well educated and he has made me reach all of my goals he’s always boosting me and motivating me! Thank you

Fantastic experience: Amazing facility, all the equipment you need and more. Have been training with Chris for a few month - great results.

Fantastic experience: Amazing Facility and incredible staff, Chris one of the personal trainers is fantastic and would highly recommend his services

Fantastic experience: A very well equipped fitness centre, with excellent staff. Especially PT Andre, who really cares about his clients.

Fantastic experience: Amazing Gym! Super friendly atmosphere and helpful staff!

Fantastic experience: Great massage from Eliza. Really paid attention to problem areas and feel much better from it.

Fantastic experience: Best coachs and facilities ever! So happy to be part of the FitRepublik!

Fantastic experience: Eliza it was a wonderful session. Thx for the deep tissue massage

Fantastic experience: Amazing place! You can do any type of workout.

Fantastic experience: Wow all I can say is if there was 20 * I’ll give them all to (Eliza) for her lymphatic massages highly recommend a he a the best there is in Dubai and overseas healing hands . Also thank you to (Zippy) for her amazing recommendation and customer care and charming smile . Many thanks GOD BLESS

Fantastic experience: Very good massage by Eliza. She has such a strong touch I highly recommend the massage service she offers. #wellnesscrew.

Positive experience: Fit republik is my go to gym whenever I’m in Dubai craving hitting iron, love everything about it but I think they should add more chest machines!

Fantastic experience: Amazing relaxing massage. Eliza is an absolute master- very knowledgeable about muscular stiffness and it pain

Fantastic experience: I had a great massage with Eliza!!! So good

Fantastic experience: Just had a massage with Eliza. She was amazing. I've had shoulder pain for months and tried many places to try and loosen of the stiffness. In one visit, I can already feel the pain subside. Would definitely recommend

Fantastic experience: Love the facility and the vibe here. Getting my son join the martial arts program soon.

Fantastic experience: Amazing studio!! Amazing Coaches and Lovely Vibe! I would recommend everyone to join

Fantastic experience: - nice gym, complete amenities with a Olympic size pool and can be converted easily in to a 25 meter pool. - hot and cold tubs and Massage is also available.

Fantastic experience: (HIGHLY RECOMMENDED) Coach Diego Gasparetto is the best Boxing coach I have ever trained with. If you want to learn Boxing from beginner to a Pro, he is your guy. Plus the gym has really nice facilities and equipment and fun buddies to train with.

Positive experience: Been there first time today on invitation of a friend who is a member. Machine park is suffice at least with the number of people that were there today. Cross fit area is quite nice. Also there is a sufficient number of racks which can be a problem in other gyms. What is missing or maybe I didn’t find it, is a dedicated area for stretching and mobility. All in all proper gym. Not on Binous level or similar but therefore also on a way lower price level.

Fantastic experience: First of all, for me, FitRepublik is the best gym in the country. Not only the gym actually, it’s entire sport village, where I enjoy vibes and just being there. It does feel like a place where I belong (from their ad slogan). Hot & Cold bath, amazing addition to everything FitRepublik provides, it’s perfect after work out, or just a stand alone activity after work, I’m in love with it. Also, it’s not only cold, but hot bath as well, which makes it different from many others. Also, neon light and music gives you great vibes , it’s a moment of relaxation, meditation and rejuvenation. Big thanks for Zipporah, who is always there to help, arrange booing or give valuable advice. Without her, H&C Bath wouldn’t be that cool!

Fantastic experience: Eliza, offer us the best sport and relaxing massage, after some sessions I would say my working stress is under control.. hahaha Thanks for your service

Fantastic experience: The gym and sport center around Dubai Sport city, All in 1 roof! You want results and excellent equipments, here is the place!

Fantastic experience: They should be willing to help you learn proper form and technique, as well as provide guidance on which exercises are best for your goals. I really like this centre.

Positive experience: Great facility, clean and well maintained. probably the last gyms in dubai that did not return small towels after covid even though all other gyms have returned them. very cheap hand soap and shower gels… talking about gas stations pink slime cheap. very highly priced in comparison to similar gyms and what they offer. not getting any lower for returning customers amazing pool with big variety of classes, the spinning and yoga instructors are great staff are friendly and helpful

Fantastic experience: Top fitness spot! I've received the best workout experiences and I'd highly recommend others to join and check them out.

Fantastic experience: A Transformational Journey with an Extraordinary Yoga Instructor! Rating: ★★★★★ I recently had the pleasure of attending a yoga session with an extraordinary instructor (Latha) and I cannot emphasize enough the profound impact she had on me in just one session. From the moment I stepped into the studio, I knew I was about to embark on a transformative journey. From the very beginning, the yoga instructor exuded a calming and positive energy that instantly put me at ease. Her warm smile and welcoming demeanor created an atmosphere of trust and openness, allowing me to fully embrace the experience. She took the time to understand each participant's goals and limitations, ensuring that everyone felt comfortable and supported throughout the session. What truly set this yoga instructor apart was her ability to seamlessly blend physical practice with mindfulness and spiritual guidance. She effortlessly guided us through a series of asanas, combining strength, flexibility, and balance, while emphasizing the importance of breath and mindfulness. Her detailed instructions and gentle corrections allowed me to deepen my practice and explore new boundaries. But it was during the moments of stillness and meditation that her true magic emerged. With her soothing voice, she led us on a journey within ourselves, encouraging us to let go of stress, worries, and negative thoughts. Her guided meditation was nothing short of transformative, as I felt a profound sense of peace, clarity, and self-awareness wash over me. Beyond her technical expertise and ability to create a safe space, this yoga instructor possessed a genuine passion for helping others. She exuded compassion and empathy, making sure to check in with each participant individually, offering personalized modifications and encouragement. Her ability to connect with everyone on a deep level fostered a sense of community and support within the class. What truly made this experience extraordinary was the lasting impact it had on me. After just one session, I felt a renewed sense of purpose and a deeper connection to my body and mind. I left the class feeling lighter, more centered, and inspired to continue my yoga journey. In conclusion, this extraordinary yoga instructor has a gift for creating a transformative and unforgettable experience. Her expertise, mindfulness, and genuine care for her students make her an exceptional teacher. I would highly recommend anyone seeking a yoga instructor who goes beyond the physical practice to explore the depths of mind, body, and spirit to seek out this remarkable individual. Get ready for a life-changing experience!

Fantastic experience: My son enjoyed his summer camp. He said that it’s the best! Thank you to all the staff especially Coach Alex (Swimming) and Rachel and Sabina for making this a memorable experience for my son. Till the next camp ❤️

Fantastic experience: One of the best Gyms I’ve attended, the classes are extremely organised and they have a number of classes happening throughout the week. Group Exercises and RPM were my absolute favorite!

Fantastic experience: I am writing this email to express my gratefulness towards Heather’s classes who are healing and probably The best i have tried in my many years of living in Dubai (meditation & yoga) She is trully dedicated to her students and listens to each One of them with patience and kindness.The company is lucky to have her !

Fantastic experience: Hello guys I just wanna share my experience from my bottom heart I am so glad that’s I ve been member for 6 years in FitRepublik very happy and satisfied literally from everyone management and stuff all of them and special big thx for this 2 receptionist miss birongi Esther and miss Myra orntel very beautiful woman’s and very good welcoming to everyone always with very beautiful smiling with positive attitude ❤️ god bless y’all And I highly recommend everyone to register in this gym it’s super clean for peace of minds Happy weekend Mero Amir

Fantastic experience: Front of house team are very friendly and helpful. They always smile and ready to help whether you are going to pool or gym.

Positive experience: Amazing facility and atmosphere. Booking process is easy with the app but the UX and UI really need to be upgraded. Trainers are mostly real pro and fun. Housekeeping is good. If you request a change the process is too long, even for small things like adding a scale device to locker’s room. The new Promotion 1 for 2 was amazing. GX classes are the best.

Positive experience: The gym and sport center around Dubai Sport city, All in 1 roof! You want results and excellent equipments, here is the place!

Fantastic experience: Our daughters 5 & 6 years old have been having swimming lessons at Fitrepublik for the last 8 months and I recommend them very highly, we have experienced Coach Nadz, Coach Amy, Coach Rudy & Coach Ksenia and all of them are amazing, my girls love them all & both children have developed so much in their swimming I love to see their progress and their enjoyment and enthusiasm for swimming! The life guards also are very attentive and friendly, Thanks so much team!!

Fantastic experience: Today I completed my 3rd year working in Fit Republik (Aquatics). I’d say it’s one of the most well established sports organizations in UAE and I’m proud to be a part it

Fantastic experience: A premium fitness facility in Dubai Sports City. Make sure to try it out at least, bring your friends and you definitely will consider getting a membership. The Olympic-sized pool is one out of the very few in the whole of UAE. Staff and coaches are the best! Also a wide variety of classes to choose from. My favorite thing here is that the gym is never full, no need to wait for machines!

Positive experience: I love this gym especially because it’s close to where I live and is super convenient for me. Only downside is that I feel like there are too many members using the gym at once and this makes it difficult to work out especially in the evening. It would help if the management were to utilise the space more and maybe exchange some lesser used machines for the popular machines. There are 2 smith machines but only one of them is vertical and it’s difficult to use it as it’s high in demand. Please consider adding another of this machine as I know it won’t go to waste.

Fantastic experience: Fit Republik is one of the best Fitness center in Dubai., Great ambience and well maintained! What I appreciate most is the variety of classes and programs offered. They do have Olympic size pool which is incredible All the coaches are very talented and has impressive backgrounds. The staffs are friendly and willing to help with any questions or concerns. Overall I highly recommend Fit Republik to anyone looking for a welcoming and supportive environment to improve their physical health and well-being.

Fantastic experience: This is a place truly deserving of a Five-Star rating. Amazing community, the facilities are awesome, all the staff from the front desk to the maintenance and administration team are all exceptional in their service, warmth and friendliness. I would highly recommend the Martial arts classes especially the Muay Thai because the community and sense of belonging is just wow. It’s super beginner friendly and the Coach Masoud is literally worth his weight in gold, with his attention to detail and focus on all round development of individual well-being. You always leave his classes feeling amazing. Also if you’re into Yoga I’d highly recommend any of Heather’s classes who’s an amazing, welcoming & warm teacher. She’s truly a wealth of knowledge! Easy five stars for FitRepublik!

Fantastic experience: Absolutely amazing! The vibe, the energy, the machines, the service are all perfect. Everyone at the reception are kind, friendly and approachable. Despite having access to hundreds of gyms on Privilee, I always choose FitRepublik!

Fantastic experience: As a member and I work here, I am blown away by the variety of fitness options available. From the Mind and body classes, martial arts, and Crossfit, to the gym and group exercise classes, there is truly something for everyone here. Additionally, they offer swimming lessons which is great for those who want to work on their aquatic skills. The Mind and body classes are awesome, the instructors were knowledgeable and the atmosphere is calming, making for great yoga, pilates and even qigong. The martial arts classes were also excellent, with skilled instructor Masoud who is very attentive, patient and helpful. The Crossfit classes can be intense, and the coaches like Sandro, Robert and Lauma are very supportive and attentive, making sure that everyone was using proper form and technique. The gym is well-equipped with a variety of machines and weights, and the PT’s are always available to answer any questions or provide assistance. I also enjoyed the group exercise classes, which ranged from high-energy classes to more strength building. And for those who prefer swimming, the facility's pool is well-maintained and the instructors are highly skilled. Overall, I highly recommend this sports facility which is like a family, for anyone looking to get in shape or improve their fitness level. With such a wide range of options available, it's easy to find something that fits your needs and preferences.

Positive experience: The gym is large and offers many opportunities. BUT: - Problem: The air temperature is too cold with 21,5 degrees - >>> Solution>>> It will be comfortable at 22-23 degrees. - Problem: The music is too boring and listless for a gym. - >>> Solution>>> Make more powerfull music to push the training (like Gym in Hera Tower in Sports City) - Problem: Depending on who cleans the equipment, not everything is cleaned. Sometimes the sign is simply turned over to "cleaned" but forget to clean the handles. - The cleaner also do not actively look if something needs to be cleaned, sometimes you even have to call them to clean, because they do not see it by themselves! >>> Solution>>> Clean everything and actively pay attention to whether it needs to be cleaned. Walk in circles and check all the signs if they are on red

Fantastic experience: Great venue. It’s got everything you would need for any kind of exercise you want to do. Gym, CrossFit, swimming pool, gymnastics, running track. The staff are just wonderful as well. They so friendly and alway willing to help. It’s make a huge difference to a place when you greeted with a massive smile! Thank you guys.

Positive experience: I primarily only use the gym, its a good space but unfortunately for the price majority of the equipment is very outdated and limited. For the price, I'd expect more modern and up-to-date equipment..no unilateral machines for example for back.

Fantastic experience: Very happy with the Mind and Body classes! I've been a member for almost one year and every time I can find the right class for me. There is a great choice of classes: meridian flow, hatha flow, power yoga, swing yoga, nada yoga, ashtanga, yin yoga...just to mention a few of my favorite. The teachers: Heather, Latha and Petra are simply amazing..their dedication and passion to teaching is equal to none!

Fantastic experience: Incredible facility. State of the art. My kids go for swimming lessons and their coaches Tania and Ksenia are incredible. Very attentive ! My kids love every session.

Fantastic experience: My daughter joined the swimming squad and coach Ahmed is definitely the best coach we have had so far! His attention to detail and the swimming program is world class! Thanks coach Ahmed!

Positive experience: The gym is slightly north of being mediocre with regard to gym equipment. There is a bumper-plate area with barbells and such (4-5 stations) with large outward looking windows but no mirrors, a central area populated by various machines and cable stations, with an admittedly good selection of about a dozen different handles for those, a spin studio (although I have no proof if it exists, see below) and an upstairs cardio section which I did not visit. It has a hack squat, and that’s a full star on the review, as far as I’m concerned. The whole place feels like I’m back in kindergarten, where I once again must ask the teacher if I may visit the toilet or go literally anywhere inside. Changing rooms and spin studio are walled off with access barriers; the former would just open when you get to it — why even have barriers? — but the latter remained a mystery whether it exists at all because the doors remained tightly shut and the cleaning staff would not even let me peek in there. I didn’t even attempt to enter the CrossFit area; it seemingly had no access from the “pleb” gym. It was surrounded by glass walls, however, supposedly for a good view of “snap city”. Very interesting access control approach for a place whose motto is “Power to the people”. The whole place felt quite pretentious for a gym. The cleaning staff wouldn’t even let me wipe down my own equipment with the provided wet wipes, insisting I call them every time. I suspect the gym manager is cracking a major whip on these people. They did their job meticulously, including putting plates away. I did not interact with many patrons, however those with whom I did felt like the types of people who post about “their journey in fitness” on Instagram. The front desk people were great. Entrance fee for a non-member was 94.50 AED. The staff asked me to leave my car keys or my ID in return for the wristband; I found that to be a poor exchange rate. I’d give this 3.5 stars if I could but since I can’t, here’s a recap: - A star for the staff, they were on point. - A star for the hack squat. Every gym should have one. - A star for the rest of the equipment and the overall condition of the gym, which was good. - Minus one star for trying to lecture patrons how to wash their hands with posters and all the other pretentious stuff, like the neon lighting, the impractical seating arrangement in the changing rooms, to mention a couple. - Minus one star for the insane level of access control. This is not a data centre, I don’t think? What’s next, fingerprinting and iris recognition? A note to the social media intern or gym manager or any other gym staff who may potentially read this: Nobody picks a gym based on the neon lighting or interior design. Those are useful for the marketing materials and that’s it. You’d do well to include photos of the gym area with an overview of the equipment. The extent to which interior design is important to a patron is mirror positioning and top-down white-coloured lighting.

Fantastic experience: The best all-round training center in Dubai. I joined for the pool. Its clean and they have great changing facilities and showers. Its usually pretty quiet especially the long course lanes except when there is squad training or kids camps There are loads of great classes to join if you're in to that and the have really helpful trainers. Just renewed for the second year!

Fantastic experience: One of the biggest gyms in dubai, biggest doesn't mean best but really helpful staff and lots of options for different activities, good choice if looking for a package that will suit everyone in the family. Great location with multiple facilities Helpful staff who make you feel welcome Clean! Nice little cafe with healthy good food

Fantastic experience: I have been going to this gym for almost 1 year. Excellent gym. It has all the elements that make it a great place. Modern and up to date equipment, excellent personal trainers, neat and clean place, well regulated. Super Stuff. Hats off to the management for consistently maintaining the standards.

Fantastic experience: I have been member here for a while however with a long break in between. When I just renewed my membership Noah and the team at fit republik were incredibly helpful and attentive and gave me all the motivation to go work out again. The gym itself in terms of classes, facilities etc is the best I've ever been to.
