  • Weight for it: Some of the lavish equipment available at the new Gold's Gyms.

    Has your fitness routine slowed down? Were you once a gym regular, but now struggle to make it?

    Or maybe you consistently “forget” to pack your gym clothes on your way to work. Suddenly, your motivation to exercise just isn’t there anymore. 

    Well, maybe it’s not you.

    Maybe you just need a change of scenery, a new refreshing place to burn rubber on the treadmill.

    And the new Gold’s Gym locations in Al Hamriya and Diera, Dubai may be just the place to light your fire and rev up your exercise routine.

    Gold’s Gym, the world’s largest fitness franchise health club, is opening two new clubs in the UAE.

    The Hamriya location boasts 45,000 square feet of state-of-the art fitness equipment and a section designated just for women.

    Technogym, one of the leading brands in fitness equipment, will line the floors of this spacious facility.

    Their exercise machines have a reputation for smooth performance and stability, as easily seen in their shock-absorbent treadmills. Run pain free on these belts. 

    Additionally, the on-board computer system accurately calculates energy expenditure letting you know if you’ve burned off those extra cookies you had earlier that day.

    The gym gear at Gold’s Gym scores high in overall user experience.

    That five-kilometre trek you once struggled to finish will now be accomplished with ease, your time at the gym will breeze by.

    The other Gold’s Gym branch is also buzzing with attractive features.  

    Conveniently located in Reef Mall, Diera, the 10,000 square foot facility is open to both men and women, and offers a wealth of fitness programs to keep members inspired and motivated to stay on top of their fitness regimes.  

    “We’re targeting different areas of the city in our drive to promote an active lifestyle, “says Nitesh Seebran, chief of operations, Gold’s Gym UAE. 

    In designing this branch, Seebran aimed to “provide an excellent atmosphere for members to work out in and discover their true potential”.

    And with a wide variety of group fitness and well-being classes ranging from belly dancing to body combat and yoga, you can definitely find yourself reaching to new heights. Gold’s Gym locations have established themselves as the premier place to train. 

    They stay on top of fitness trends, offering the latest gear. The Diera location offers a cool, hip indoor cycling studio and also special fitness classes for children so the whole family can exercise together.

    “We want to create facilities that welcome everyone, and are a cut above any other gym in the UAE in terms of equipment, facilities and tradition,” says Ali Al Samahi – head of ventures, Al Ahli Holding Group (Al Hamirya location). And they do welcome everyone. 

    High profile celebrities have had memberships at Gold’s Gym, including Arnold Schwarzenegger, Brooke Shields and Kate Moss.

    Just last week, the reigning Mr. Olympia and American bodybuilding champion Phil Heath, visited the Gold’s Gym Al Barsha Mall location. 

    Members posed for pictures with the champ and also received his nutrition and training tips.

    Whether you’re a gym newbie, cardio queen, or hardcore athlete, or you just want to look at fit bodies — these two new Gold’s Gym locations will have something for you. 

    The new Diera location is offering a special enrollment rate in anticipation of its grand opening.

    Visit goldsgym.ae or call 800-GOLDS (46537) to sign up.

    You have to act fast, because once their doors open next month, the special goes out the window. 

    “All Gold’s Gyms branches across the UAE are united by their global tradition of passion for fitness, and the motto, ‘Know Your Own Strength’,” Al Samahi remarks.  

    Rekindle your fitness spirit with a trip to these superb fitness centres.
