Fantastic experience: At Haraka, I had personal training sessions with Brandon, and he is truly an outstanding fitness coach who genuinely cares about his clients’ progress. He strikes the perfect balance of skill, technique, and focus, ensuring every session is both challenging and empowering, bringing out the best in you. What makes him exceptional is his encouraging and supportive approach, as he’s fully invested in helping you achieve your goals. I couldn’t recommend him more highly!

J Pi 10 months ago

Fantastic experience: I've been a member at HARAKA for 14 months and, in that time, it's been a game-changer for me — I’ve lost 26kg and gained so much more than just improved fitness. Before HARAKA, I struggled with consistency; Other gyms felt uninspiring in terms of workout programmes, or I never felt like I truly belonged. The personal trainers I tried were more effective, but too expensive to sustain. HARAKA changed everything. The workouts are varied, scalable, and enjoyable, making it easy to stay motivated. But what truly sets HARAKA apart is the community. The coaches and admin staff are genuinely supportive, as are my fellow gym buddies who create such an encouraging and uplifting atmosphere. They’ve cheered me on every step of the way, celebrating each new milestone. Beyond the workouts, I’ve found myself exploring new challenges. I’ve started joining the running sessions — something I never thought I’d do! I guess I might even join the swimming classes next? HARAKA has helped me unlock a level of fitness that I never imagined was possible for me. If you're looking for a gym that offers excellent support, creativity in workouts, and an amazing community, I can’t recommend HARAKA enough. It’s so much more than just a gym—it’s a place where you truly belong.

H Waqar 10 months ago

Fantastic experience: I have been a member of Haraka for one year, and it has been an incredible journey. From day one, the experience has exceeded my expectations. All the trainers are highly professional, attentive, and genuinely committed to helping each member achieve their fitness goals. What sets this place apart is the personalized approach they take with every individual. The sense of community here is unmatched. It truly feels like a family where everyone is respected and valued, no matter where they are on their fitness journey. The gym environment encourages progress without judgment—you don’t have to be perfect from the start. Instead, the trainers are there to guide you, motivate you, and celebrate your improvements, big or small. Overall, this place provides more than just a space to work out; it offers support, motivation, and a welcoming atmosphere that fosters growth. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a professional, supportive, and results-driven fitness experience.

Amal Rasheed 10 months ago

Fantastic experience: One of my favorite gyms in Abu Dhabi! They have an amazing team of trainers, and I’ve been training with them for a year now. My favorite trainer, Brandon, is incredibly skilled and supportive. Highly recommended if you’re looking to get fit and strong!

Kevin Garvey 10 months ago

Fantastic experience: With Michelline and Rensche behind the scenes, when it comes to the 'Front of House' actual classes and sessions, you need only to know four words: Branco, Brandon, Miguel, Sam. Each is exceptional in every regard. Every session and class is meticulously planned and expertly delivered. The Haraka experience is literally the *perfect 'balance' of gravity and levity; in the sense that the workout, session, and day's goal and objective is indeed carefully set and seriously structured, but then at the same time everything is achieved in a balanced spirit of enjoyment and community. So even the 'heavy' weights have a 'lightness' of touch. Haraka just screams out the very highest of professional standards. Again four words: Branco, Brandon, Miguel, and Sam. I literally love this place.

Lesley McPherson 10 months ago

Fantastic experience: Brilliant gym, trainers and community that I couldn’t be without. Met friends for life whilst looking after my mental and physical wellbeing at the same time. The trainers are great at understanding different needs in terms of scaling and giving alternatives for injuries etc. After working out at this location for over 10 years I’m no spring chicken anymore but still feel like a valid participant.

Abdulrahman Alyaarobi 10 months ago

Fantastic experience: If you're looking for a gym that actually helps you achieve your fitness goals while keeping you motivated, HARAKA is the place to be. I've tried other gyms before, but none have provided the same level of support and variety. Definitely worth every penny of the membership! The facility is always clean, and the best part is how flexible the class schedule is. I can easily fit workouts around my busy work schedule. Whether it's early morning or late evening, there's always a class that fits my schedule. The community here is so welcoming - you never feel judged, only encouraged. The trainers are incredibly supportive and always provide modifications when needed. I can't say enough good things about my experience at HARAKA Gym!

Gina Nelson 10 months ago

Fantastic experience: Haraka Gym: My Fitness Community Since Day One I've been a member of Haraka since it first opened its doors in 2022, and I can say it's been an incredible experience. The sense of community here is truly special. It's a place where I feel supported, motivated, and connected with like-minded people who share my passion for fitness. The trainers are top-notch – not only are they highly qualified, but they're also incredibly friendly and approachable. They genuinely care about helping you achieve your fitness goals and are always willing to go the extra mile. If you're looking for a gym with a strong community vibe and amazing trainers, look no further than Haraka.

Fantastic experience: Haraka is a special place to workout. There is a balance between professional training, excellent trainers but with lots of humor, between competition and companionship, tough goal setting, but always adjustable to each individuals needs. The community is unique. A place to get fit with friends and fun.

Fantastic experience: I was a little bit nervous about attending Haraka due to various knee injuries and after having had my second child most recently. When it was safe to start exercising again, I plucked up the courage to attend my first class and haven’t looked back. The coaches modify everything exceptionally well for me and the level of knowledge expressed by the coaches is second to none. It really is more than a gym and I have thoroughly enjoyed being part of this fantastic community. Everyone is so welcoming and supportive and to those who, like me, might feel a bit hesitant but still aspire to begin, I wholeheartedly recommend taking that step.

Ross Atkins 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The coaches are incredibly knowledgeable and provide top-notch guidance throughout the workouts. They pay attention to form, offer modifications, and give personalized attention to help you achieve your fitness goals. The atmosphere in the classes is amazing, all members are supportive which motivates you to dig deep and push through the workouts. The programming is first class! The workouts are thoughtfully designed and incorporate a great mix of functional movements, strength training & cardio. Endurance Wednesday and bodybuilding Fridays being two of my personal favourites. What impressed me the most was how the coaches tailored the workouts when I became injured. The coaches provided modifications and alternative exercises to ensure I could continue training safely and effectively while recovering. Their attention to my individual needs was greatly appreciated. I can’t recommend HARAKA enough to anyone looking for first class functional fitness training. The coaches, atmosphere, and programming are all top-notch!

Michelle Fox 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I started at Haraka in April 2023 and I’ve never looked back. I was looking for a gym / community that challenges you and is strong on accountability, Haraka ticks both of those box’s. I would recommend Haraka to all of my friends interested in fitness and even a new way to meet people. All in all a great place to be.
