GymNation in Dubai gives first glimpse to the public and signs deal with Kcal

One of Dubai’s newest fitness experiences has opened its doors to the public for the first time.

GymNation on Sheikh Zayed Road held an open day at the weekend giving members, and the rest of the public, a first glipse at their state-of-the art facility.

The highly anticipated full opening will take place later this month.

The gym originally hit the headlines when they offered memberships at just Dh99 – this was just an introductory offer for a set number of people, but even now the price point is around Dh179 per month.

Questions were initially raised whether a budget price would equate to budget quality equipment, but all those fears have been laid to rest.

The facility in Al Quoz, is a 45,000 square-foot floor space, equipped with over 500 pieces of latest generation equipment by Matrix and offers over 200 Les Mills fitness classes, all accessible as part of the monthly membership.

Add to this a high-tech spinning studio, dedicated combat sports area, and huge studio space and the variety of attributes the facility has is clear – you can even take part in classes when there are no instructors there – through virtual technology.

The facility has areas for all types of gym-goer

The gym is equipped to cater for all fitness needs – with huge interest shown from first-time gym users right the way thought to top level athletes from a range of sports.

Female gym goers are extremely well catered for also, with a special women’s only area that is directly connected to reception and changing area for maximum privacy.

The company has also announced a partnership with Kcal for their on-site nutrition offering.

Fuel Up by Kcal, a concept dedicated to promoting wellness through good healthy food, is now the official nutrition partner of GymNation. The concept is all about taking charge of your health and wellness, without compromising on choice, ease, speed, and convenience – an ethos that fits with GymNation’s ‘fitness for everyone’ ideology.

With Fuel Up by Kcal on board, GymNation say their offering becomes even more comprehensive.

“Health and fitness is a blend of exercise, nutrition and a healthy lifestyle. As part of our holistic offering to our members, GymNation is pleased and proud to partner with UAE’s favorite health food company,” said GymNation Founder Loren Holland.

“We are delighted to have opened a world-class fitness facility which offers gym memberships at an affordable and flexible rate to the people of Dubai. Our partnership with Fuel Up by Kcal further enhances our offering to GymNation members allowing them to access the best nutritional advice, services and healthy food offering across the UAE,” he added.

“We are excited about our new partnership with GymNation which will bridge the gap between food and fitness, giving us the opportunity to provide our clients with access to personalised nutrition and physical wellbeing,” said Mark Carroll, Founder & Co-CEO of Kcal.

GymNation is due to open in May following the launch event last week; for more information or to claim your membership, for more information visit: gymnation.ae
