Fantastic experience: Excellent atmosphere. Neat, fully equipped and a lively team.
Fantastic experience: Great facility, even better coaches and community!
Fantastic experience: CrossFit Sands is an absolutely great place! During my 3 month stay in Dubai, I attended this gym 3-4 times a week. The equipment, location, and quality is unmatched! The gym is always tidy, the equipment is always in great shape, and the people are all very friendly. Would strongly reccomend this gym to anybody in Dubai. 5/5 stars.
Fantastic experience: I've been a CrossFit athlete for two years and visited numerous CrossFit Boxes which have influenced my expectations when it comes to investing with the right box. Relocating from South Africa to Dubai meant that I had to find a new home away from home and none were more welcoming than the CrossFit Sands team. The box was co-founded by former elite Royal Marines Commando, Cyrus Rustom, who could not be a better role model to his members. Expert coaching, high quality programming, attention to detail, emphasis on nutrition, mobility and recovery are a few of the things that will set you up for long-term success with CrossFit Sands and the down to earth community. When it's time to put the work in and 3-2-1 GO, the box atmosphere will give you goosebumps.There is not enough gratitude in my heart for how good Cyrus and his team have been to me. Motor City is nowhere near my apartment but going the extra distance is so very worth it.
Fantastic experience: A welcoming CrossFit box (gym) with great coaches and top end equipment. Owned and run by a great CF coach called Cyrus, an ex-Royal Marine he's not only a great CF coach but also an expert on Nutrition. He runs a 12 week Programme tailored to your needs, I've been on that Programme and over 9 months I've lost 27kgs and 10% Body Fat. CF Sands is a very friendly place everyone is so supportive it's a fantastic community I can't rate this place more highly. No matter what your fitness levels they will scale the training to suit you.

However, from the moment I stepped foot into the gym, I was warmly welcomed by a supportive community that instantly made me feel at ease. I must give a special shout-out to the coach Fil. What sets him apart is his ability to create training plans that cater to everyone's abilities, goals, and limitations, ensuring each workout is productive and safe. Thank you, Fil! Thank you Sands Fitness! I am grateful for the support, motivation, and growth I have experienced during my time here.

Thank you very much for your review and ratings Amanda.
Fantastic experience: Been a customer to this box since 2018 and I had focused sessions of PTs to fix my hip mobility and my shoulder imbalance. Amazing coaches and very sharp attention to details. Programming in the box is top level and it is a must to train 5 to 6 days a week there. One last thing is that we build a family there and not just customers and coaches.

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Coach Aqeel as a personal trainer for anyone looking to achieve their fitness goals. I've been training with him for 6 months and have seen remarkable results in both my strength and overall fitness level. Coach Aqeel has a deep understanding of physiology and exercise science, allowing him to tailor workouts that are not only effective but also safe and sustainable. He consistently challenges me to push beyond my limits while ensuring proper form and technique to prevent injury. One of the things I appreciate most about Aqeel is his ability to motivate and inspire. He creates a supportive and encouraging environment that makes every session enjoyable and rewarding. His enthusiasm for fitness is contagious, and he goes above and beyond to help clients stay committed to their fitness journey. Whether you're new to fitness or a seasoned athlete, Coach Aqeel has the expertise and dedication to help you reach your goals. I cannot recommend him enough for anyone seeking personalized and effective training.
Hi Fiachra! Thank you for your review! We'll make sure to pass this on to Coach Aqeel. Hope to see you again soon!

Fantastic experience: Had a great session and even got to take my 2 year old to get looked after by the nanny’s on hand. A great collab with the Mumfolk (mums group in Dubai). Staff are lovely and Coaches are great, very knowledgeable. I usually shy away from CrossFit as it sounds too intense but the coaches were there to help every step of the way and the whole place was very friendly and not intimidating at all. Will go back! And would highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: I'm a member of this box for 6 months and I'm loving it! Classes are great, coaches amazing, and I love the community. I'm someone who always had excuses why not to go to a gym, and this is the first time that I'm happy to do it. Special thanks to coach Fill, his PT was great, he really tries to explain everything and make sure every workout is done properly and efficiently. His classes are always fun and very challenging too in a good way. Love the coaches Dane, Chris and Casey too, they are all amazing!
Thank you so much for your ratings and review Milica.
Positive experience: Sands Fitness is a great box. They have many sessions a day. Place is clean and well organized having the latest equipment. It’s a very spacious box so people aren’t crammed during class. The coaches take time to go over the skills and metcon. They suggest modifications if needed, especially if you are a beginner/just sore from previous workouts/injured. People attending the classes are a mix of regulars and new people, which helps to build a great community of motivated people supporting each other through workouts. I’ve really enjoy doing drop-ins there. Anyone looking to do CrossFit for the first time or a drop-in, don’t hesitate at all and give it go!
Dear Anubhuti Thank you very much for your rating and review. We look forward to welcoming you again soon.
Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Sands Fitness/Crossfit Oasis in Motor City, Dubai. I have had the privilege of training at the box now for a bit and it is by far the friendliest one can find in Dubai. Honestly, it feels like home when in reality I haven't been there that long. The classes are fun and run by some amazing coaches. They teach a variety of classes daily. From my experience, coaches make time and give attention to everyone on technique, form and strength and will have you pushing your limits in no time. In all honesty, these coaches will ensure you have all the tools to grow and achieve your targets, so ensure you commit to the workouts and their mechanisms. In my short time at this box, with the coaches and the community, I can already say I feel stronger and more empowered. Thank you Cyrus, his team and to the community there for making me feel like a part of the family and making me feel comfortable as I try to work on my fitness. :)
Thank you very much for your review, Chelsea! We are delighted to have you and we're looking forward to see you become even more stronger!
Fantastic experience: As a beginner to cross fit training I felt right at home with Sands Fitness. The Coaches are 10 out of 10 when it came to their guidance, knowledge and experience they help you every step of the way and help you to achieve results. I would highly recommend this gym for both new and experienced people that are looking for a high intensity workout.
Hi Nathan! Thank you very much for your review. We're delighted to have you in the box!
Fantastic experience: The best box I’ve been to in dubai. Cyrus was incredibly welcoming and our coach, Fill, was great. He made sure everyone scaled their movements properly, knew everyone’s names, and paid thorough attention to everyone throughout the class. Great gym.
Thank you very much for your review, Jake! We hope to see you again!
Fantastic experience: I have just finished a weeks trail at Sands and it was amazing! I have been in Dubai for a week and after stumbling upon their Instagram page before moving, it was the first place I headed! The people are so so friendly, the programming and workouts range from strength, engine, partner and hero WOD’s. Each class at a box is always coached and the coaches here have been so supportive and informative. Everyone has been so helpful (I’m still trying to convert lbs in kg) and the mix of the people at the box is great to see. If you are new to CrossFit or have some experience, I would 100% recommend this box! Give it a go, if you have lost motivation, need a new challenge, need a new box or want to try something different, you will absolutely love Sands! Thanks for an amazing week of training
Hi Siobhan! Thank you very much for your review. We hope to see you again. And we'll get the coaches to convert for you next time you come to the box.
Fantastic experience: First time at cross fitness and the staff made me feel very welcome. They showed me how the CrossFit classes work and gave me support throughout. The other participants were also friendly and encouraging, a good level of energy. Looking forward to going back. Update: I’ve been back and same level of support including the new instructors! Thank you
Thank you very much for ratings and review Jo. Look forward to seeing you soon.
Fantastic experience: Very cool coaching staff with high qualifications! Definitely recommend!
Thank you for your review, Artem!
Fantastic experience: Absolutely wonderful and welcoming box with great community vibe. Great for beginners, and people of all shapes, sizes and fitness abilities. Having been out of crossfit for 6 years and forgetting all the terminolgy and moves and skills, I was a bit nervous to do my first class, but the Coaches Fil, Dane and Chris, and Pam and Cyrus were all so lovely. They scale the workouts down to an option that works for you and really focus on proper form by fully explaining the moves and letting you practice. It's super easy to book into classes with their app that tells you the workouts in advance. You WILL sweat and you WILL push yourself beyond the limits that you even thought you were capable of. I'm about 1 month in, and loving it more than ever. Hooked since the first class. They have a free trial too so you can try with no commitments. My fitness level and body have seriously improved since starting here.
Dear Lizzie, Thank you very much indeed for your kind words in the review and ratings.
Fantastic experience: Awesome CrossFit gym. Highly recommended if you’re just starting your fitness journey or if you’ve been training for years. The coaches genuinely care about all the members, and the members are super welcoming and friendly. I have only been going there for a week, and I already love it!
Thank you very much for your review, Karim! We're delighted to have you in our community!
Fantastic experience: This gym has the best classes. Coaches are very knowledgable and experienced. Coach Fil helped me work through an injury, I was able to make an incredible recovery thanks to his in depth knowledge and talent for making anything possible. Everyone is friendly and personable. Five stars all around.
Thank you very much for your rating and review Jane. See you soon.
Fantastic experience: As a first timer doing CrossFit, I really enjoyed the classes at sands. Even if you’re not experienced, the trainer will help you and make sure that you’re doing everything correctly and keeping up with the rest of the class. I’m definitely coming back for more because everyone is really supportive and helpful.
Thank you very much for your review and ratings. Look forward to seeing you again soon.
Fantastic experience: I had a dropin for a crossfit class during my short stay in Dubai. The instructor was talented and helpful, for any level/experience. Very easy to communicate and book using their whatsapp number. Thank you!

Fantastic experience: I visited quite a few boxes before finding Sands Crossfit, and I felt welcomed and a part of the family from the moment I entered the box. Being new to crossfit, I had a lot to learn and the coaches all showed heaps of patience. Coach Fil's close attention to detail with posture, timing, and skill and supported me to learn and develop good habits. He strikes a balance between challenging yourself and having fun. After a year at Sands Crossfit, I am the strongest I've ever been. Thank you for helping me to reach my goals #bestboxever
Thank you very much for your review, Carmen!
Fantastic experience: I have been doing P.T. sessions with coach Fil. He is an amazing and maybe the best in Sand’s Fitness, he is a coach that knows how to test your limits while always being safe. His classes are always fun but also challenging which is exactly what I was looking for. Finally I have seen a huge difference on my skills because of coach Fil and I am looking forward to continue after Summer.
