i would like to join a gym in dubai (i am marina way) and wanted to know if anyone has any recommendations. i would really like the following;

1. not costing the equivalent to the world debt
2. has classes like zumba/ pilates
3. has personal trainers there that will kick me if i need it (so that will be most days!)
4. potential (although not essential) has a social environment.

would love to know if anyone knows of any thing around that would be recommended ?

Motion Ladies Fitness behind the Burj Al Arab wouldn't be that far from the Marina....they are great. You can buy a monthly pass for around 1200 AED (their prices may have gone up slightly in September) and attend all the group classes you want or you can buy packs of 5/10 etc. They have personal training, pilates, yoga, barre, TRX and are starting crossfit in October....rarely more than 8 ladies in each class so a lot of personal attention. They do have a social environment as well...a lounge for coffees before/after classes and they do brunches when the weather cools down. That is 14,000AED a year! :) Cheaper than liposuction. ha ha ha ha ha - trying not to go down the plastic fantastic route however as i am getting older it is getting harder - one day i might have to entertain it. However today i will stick to crying in the gym !!!

The last price I have was actually 1080AED/month but if you buy 3, 6, 12 month packages it gets cheaper and they do really good promos as well....in July they did buy 3 months get the 4th free and at the end of August they did 40% off an annual membership. If you go to the gym 5-6 days a week then it is by far the cheapest option I've found in Dubai It's also far less money than my husband pays to play golf every week ;)

Hi I have heard good things about TribeFit in Marina. If you like HIIT type classes my number 1 recommendation would be Circuit Factory classes. Very social- great fun and results. Nearest classes to you would be in Springs/Meadow and you only pay per class. Check out their website and FB

Most of them are expensive Core in the Marina does classes as does Fitness First Cant help with personal trainers though sorry
