Negative experience: I would like to share my feedback regarding the Fitness First branch at Ibn Battuta Mall. While the facility itself is excellent and spacious, I have observed some concerning issues related to maintenance and coaches support. New members often feel lost and without proper guidance unless they hire a personal trainer. The coaches on the floor are generally unhelpful and rarely offer even basic assistance, such as explaining how to properly use the machines. This creates a frustrating experience, especially for beginners who expect at least minimal orientation and support. The out of order equipments are taking long time to fix. The cleaning and other supportive staff are excellent. I sincerely hope that the management will look into improving staff engagement, member guidance, and overall maintenance standards so that the club can match the high quality of its facilities.

Fantastic experience: I cannot speak highly enough of my experience at Fitness First, Ibn Battuta, thanks to my incredible instructor, Ricardo. At 62 years old, I started going to the gym for the first time, and Ricardo made it an inspiring and transformative journey. His expertise and encouragement have been key to helping me lose weight and build muscle, and I’m feeling stronger and healthier than ever. Ricardo’s approach is exceptional—he’s patient, knowledgeable, and truly invested in my progress. He taught me that it’s never too late to start working out, and his guidance has made every session enjoyable and effective. From personalised workout plans to motivational advice, he’s helped me embrace fitness with confidence. I highly recommend Ricardo and Fitness First - Ibn Battuta to anyone, no matter their age or fitness level. Thank you, Ricardo, for showing me that age is just a number and for making my gym experience so rewarding!

Fantastic experience: I've had the pleasure of training with Mr Ricardo and I can't speak highly enough about the experience. From day one, their professionalism, deep knowledge, and passion for fitness have been truly inspiring. Every session is well-structured, challenging, and tailored to my goals. He's not only helped me improve my physical strength and stamina but also educated me on proper form, nutrition, and sustainable habits. The motivation and encouragement I receive have pushed me beyond limits I didn’t think I could reach. If you’re looking for a dedicated, supportive, and highly skilled trainer, I wholeheartedly recommend RICARDO.

JC Santos 3 months ago

Fantastic experience: It takes a lot of discipline, dedication and determination to gain more strength and improve stamina, have enough energy and endurance to do it. With the help of my coach, Ricardo and around 26 sessions, I was able to change my lifestyle by proper diet and regular workout atleast 3 to 5x a week. He was also focused in checking my food intake by sending pictures of what I eat in a day (not by force) but to encourage on how to make a balance diet. I’m so happy with the results since I started going to the gym on 1-Mar 2025. Health is undeniably essential, good physique is just a bonus. I would like to commend Ricardo for doing a great job to me for my first 2 months in the club and Fitness First for a complete facility to support the client needs.

Fantastic experience: Im 53 and used to have a hard time bending down and lifting , I also easily get pain in my feet and legs for standing long at work, but when I started my training with Ricardo, everything improved. I can even now run for 30 min straight, bend down and can even do farmer’s walk carrying 40kg. Thanks to Ricardo for being so patient on me because I complain a lot, such a great experience I had. NO PAIN, NO GAIN!

Fantastic experience: I'm impressed with the progress I've made since training with Ricardo Malliah. I've successfully lost weight and increased my strength, lifting heavier than before. Ricardo is excellent at teaching new techniques and ensuring proper form, which has been crucial for my confidence and safety during workouts. Beyond the gym, his guidance on nutrition and improving my eating habits has made a real difference in my lifestyle. Ricardo is approachable, knowledgeable, and highly encouraging. He's patient, consistently modifies workouts to suit my needs, and truly makes you feel secure when pushing limits, even with heavy lifts. His ability to keep me accountable has been a key factor in my sustained motivation. The gym environment is very positive, and I've renewed my sessions to continue working towards my fitness goals. I highly recommend Ricardo for his effective and supportive coaching.

Fantastic experience: I love this gym. It's always clean and well-organized. The staff and the coaches are all very friendly and accommodating. The unlimited group classes are amazing and very enjoyable too. My coach, Ricardo, has always been awesome from day one. I have achieved so much during the short time that I was training with him. Weights I've never thought I'd ever be able to lift and exercises that seemed impossible to perform due to my lack of experience. He pushed me for my own benefit and he just knows the buttons to push when his clients feel like giving up. For that, I am grateful for his services. I got the results I wanted and more.. body fat loss, muscle gain, a healthy community and more reasons to push even harder. Fitness First IBN is all you need to reach your fitness goals.

Abdulrahman Eid 4 months ago

Negative experience: I am extremely disappointed with this gym. Let me start with the facilities—the bathrooms, changing rooms, and showers are in terrible condition. They’re poorly maintained, unhygienic, and completely unwelcoming. It’s a basic expectation for these areas to be clean and functional, but this gym fails miserably. The personal trainers here also set a bad example. They frequently use gym equipment for themselves or their trainees and often don’t return it afterward. Members are left to either clean up after them or ask if they’re finished using the equipment. This behavior is highly unprofessional and disrupts the experience for other gym-goers. I’ve raised all these concerns multiple times by filling out their standard feedback forms, expecting at least a follow-up call from management, but no one has reached out. This complete lack of accountability and communication is incredibly frustrating and unacceptable for a gym of this stature. The only redeeming quality of this branch is its proximity to my workplace, which makes it easy to include in my routine. However, that’s not enough to compensate for the many issues. Other Fitness First branches I’ve visited are far superior in terms of cleanliness, service, and overall professionalism. Until significant improvements are made, I cannot recommend this branch to anyone. It’s simply not worth the membership fees or the hassle.

Fantastic experience: I had a great session with Jeremiah at Rush on Friday — She’s fantastic! I’d really appreciate if the 7:15 PM slot could be kept permanently. It’s the perfect timing for me, as my son finishes his schedule at 6:30 PM in Al Quoz, and I need time to drive back to Ibn Battuta. This slot makes it possible for me to join consistently. Thanks for the great sessions and hope this timing stays!

Fantastic experience: Coach Riccardo Malliah - this has been a fantastic experience with Coach Riccardo! I joined few months ago and been contemplating to go with personal training and there comes my way Coach Ricci/Ricco/Riccardo! The sound knowledge on nutrition and physio aspects are par excellence! The transformation for me is unbelievable in just 10 classes and i look forward to continue with him on a long run. Cant thank you enough coach for your words of Wisdom, Training and Can Do attitude! knowing about my injury and training regularly keeping in mind the injury, not all coaches do or keen at looking in the way you have attention to! I highly highly recommend Coach Riccardo for one on one personal sessions and believe you me, one wont be disappointed! no false claims - just honest feedback, to the point training and knowledge share is hard to find these days who just want to finish off and move to next session. THANK YOU FITNESS FIRST FOR HAVING COACH RICCARDO and getting me to train with him! Coach you are a LEGEND!! this does not mean i have extra weights to pull moving forward please!!!!

Trupti Aher 5 months ago

Negative experience: Disappointing Service and Lack of Follow-Up I’ve attempted to contact the manager of Ibn Battuta Fitness First 5 to 6 times to arrange corporate monthly sessions. Despite repeated assurances of a callback, I never received one — which unfortunately speaks volumes about the service quality. Even after raising a formal complaint, there has been no resolution or follow-up. It’s incredibly frustrating to face this level of unresponsiveness from a reputed brand. I expected far better communication and accountability.

Negative experience: I am writing to express my disappointment with the experience my husband and I had during our recent visit to cycling class with Khai Nasri . Despite leaving work early to attend the class, we unfortunately arrived 15 minutes late due to unforeseen circumstances. When we explained the situation to the trainer, they refused to let us join the class, even though we had already booked . This lack of understanding and flexibility was deeply frustrating. As paying clients, we expected a more respectful and accommodating approach. Furthermore, I am disappointed that no one has contacted me to address this issue or explain the situation, despite my attempts to communicate. I kindly request that only the manager respond to this complaint, as I would like to escalate the matter and seek a resolution.

Fantastic experience: My family and I have been training with Anoop for the past year now. Our experience has been a positive one. Anoop is a very pleasant personality. One whom I appreciate spending the hour in the morning with. He is a professional in his field and very well versed with the science of his trade. This benefits the trainees greatly. He is also focused and watching the movements and postures intently, thereby correcting and encouraging through out the session.

Fantastic experience: Fitness First is the place where I enjoy doing my workout. It has a massive variety of classes that you will never get bored and you will always find a class that meets your needs. One of the classes I like to attend is Bruno's classes. He is a great motivator and has positive energy, always focused on our workout, always there to correct us if we are doing a wrong form or wrong exercise. He is the best instructor in FF ibn batouta. For the gym facilities, it needs some renovations that will make the gym perfect (like showers and changing rooms), it is old fashioned one and it needs to meet the standards or other gyms. As equipments, they have a wide variety of equipments.

Anh Thu Dao 1 year ago

Positive experience: Spacious enough to accommodate members but not in term of equipment. I always come in on unusual timing ( 10am or 3pm ) but surprisingly I still have to spend good amount of time looking for a spare dumbbell or kettle bell. Personal trainer are super nose - up , specially when you turn them down on PT program offer. They will unfriendly tell you not to touch the equipment which they reserve for their own client, which is unfair.

Fantastic experience: I think this is the best fitness center in dubai it's so convenient and it's on so many locations you dnt have an excuse to visit the gym

Danish Pervez 1 year ago

Positive experience: They will make you sign a contract when you join. And they tell you that you can leave any time you like after your contract finishes, but then later they tell you that you have to inform a month in advance, even if you're not on the contract anymore. They also set up an auto-payment system to debit your card automatically every month. The personal trainers will keep pushing you to take personal training classes, because that is how they make most of their money. The group classes are the only good thing but almost always packed. The men's showers smell like toilets.

Positive experience: Fitness First at Ibn Battuta Mall boasts spacious areas for both weightlifting and cardio equipment. There in the main studio they don’t clean at all after class nor between classes. You will see sweat on the floor from previous classes totally disgusting . I myself clean the floor where I will exercise However, some members have very bad and unbearable smell issues , which can detract from the overall experience. Hope this gym turn into titanium so we get better members quality. At Gym showers also there is a bad smell. On the bright side, the gym's classes are a standout feature, with professional and motivational coaches leading a variety of engaging sessions. Whether you're into high-intensity workouts or more relaxed yoga sessions, there's something for everyone to enjoy and benefit from.

From the moment I stepped into the gym, I was greeted with a warm and motivating atmosphere that instantly made me feel at home.The gym boasts top-of-the-line equipment and facilities, providing a conducive environment for achieving fitness goals. What truly elevates the experience is the expertise and dedication of Amal. His passion for fitness is palpable, and his knowledge is extensive.Each session with him is not just a workout but an educational experience. Amal takes the time to understand my fitness objectives and crafts personalized routines that challenge and inspire me to push my limits while ensuring proper form and safety.

Fantastic experience: So far so good. Around one month in here but I can feel the energy of the group class coaches. They are on fire man. They give you the boost what’s needed. I also understand that it’s not possible to concentrate on individuals of classes 20+ people but that’s okay they also have PT for that if you require the same. Zorana , Bruno , Petras
