  • There’s even more reason to visit the Mall of the Emirates in Dubai considering they will be hosting a series of free fitness classes before the shops even open.

    As part of its commitment to engage the community in a healthy and active lifestyle. Mall of the Emirates’ MOE ACTIVE will host complimentary fitness classes throughout the week offering a variety exercise options to suit varied fitness levels.

    The classes will be held before store opening hours at 08:30, from Sunday to Thursday, allowing participants to partake in an invigorating workout then enjoy the mall’s dining, shopping, entertainment and leisure options.

    Whether you’re a fitness enthusiast or want to start living a healthier lifestyle, the exclusive daily classes have been carefully curated with fitness professionals at FlyWheel Dubai and is the perfect opportunity to enjoy an exercise routine in a stunning location to beat the summer heat.

    There are various classes to choose from that will focus on different work-outs.

    FLYWHEEL

    An experience crafted by Ruth Zukerman, the legendary instructor and driving force behind the New York indoor cycling phenomenon. Lasting a total of 45 minutes, the class, which is held every Tuesday at 08:30 at Ski Dubai’s foyer, includes climbs and descents, while you can also work your arms with weighted bars. It will be an experience, that will challenge your body and relaxes your mind.

    To get you in the beat is the music which is an integral part.

    Playlists are created by instructors who choreograph their own classes, syncing their rides to the beat, assuring a fresh ride every time, and showing a little glimpse of their unique personalities. In this session, the instructor will lead the way, suggesting target resistance levels to strive for.

    Not only do you set your Flywheel bike to the positions that fit your body and comfort levels, but you control your “tech-pack”. Each bike has a tech-pack that displays your resistance, your speed and your power output, which will help you know how you’re performing.

    FLYBARRE

    Held every Wednesday at 08:30 at Ski Dubai’s foyer, the total-body sculpting class blends light weight training with core strengthening exercises to create the ultimate toning experience. Led by a motivating instructor, FlyBarre is a fun, high-energy workout that quickly tones and strengthens muscles.

    Routines are switched up frequently, so even though you are always concentrating on arms, core, thighs, and glutes, you will not be guaranteed to get bored. As the perfect complement to Flywheel, FlyBarre completes your full body workout and the perfect cardio and strength training.

    MALL WALKERS AND MALL CIRCUITS 

    Focusing on the stretching, the Mall Walkers and Mall Circuits programmes will see you walk in circuits throughout the malls, with an instructor demonstrating stretching routines as well as interval training stops throughout the course. The Mall Walkers takes place every Sunday at 08:30, while the Mall Walkers Circuit is every Monday at the same time.
