Best Ladies Gyms in Abu Dhabi 

Are you struggling to find a suitable ladies Gym in Abu Dhabi that fits your needs? Do you find it hard to workout publicly in fear of being judged? Do you dream of having a fit body? Then, you are in the perfect place. 
In this review page, you will find the three best nearby ladies gyms in Abu Dhabi. Since Abu Dhabi has plenty of sports centers, we as Emirati students chose these gyms based on our own experience. In our opinion, these gyms have something extraordinary and deserve to be ranked as the best gyms in Abu Dhabi. 

Royal Gym / Abu Dhabi Ladies club

Abu Dhabi ladies club’s actual name is Royal Gym, most people including me did not know that up until we visited the gym. From my point of view, Royal Gym is one of the top Ladies gyms in Abu Dhabi; I believe this for plenty of  reasons. Firstly, Abu Dhabi Ladies club was founded by her highness Sheikha Fatima Bint Mubarak, this ensures that the gym will be provided with the highest quality services and gym equipment, and all different varieties of  activities.

Based on my experience,  their employees/workers are super welcoming and friendly. When I first entered the gym, what grabbed my attention was the age and body diversity in this gym, this felt somewhat comforting. The fact that everyone around you looks different makes you feel at ease while working out, it feels less intimidating and competitive. The cleanliness of this gym is outstanding, since around every corner you will find a cleaner wiping down the gym equipment. I recommend that people who are willing to join the gym get the gold membership, since it is cheaper than the platinum and almost has all its qualities except the outdoor pool.

     From what I gathered, Royal Ladies Gym in Abu Dhabi provides diversified activities that may not be provided in other gyms. I like to do unique activities to explore more about sports, and I found that at this Gym. You can relax with different activities like restorative yoga or pilates. There are defensive exercises like boxing and kickboxing, and many energetic dancing classes like Brazil samba, belly dance, Zumba classes, and my favorite is dancing inside the pool. There are plenty more exciting things to do in Royal Gym.

Energy Plus Ladies Gym

On the 14th of February 2022, I visited a ladies’ gym called Energy Plus for the first time. immediately after entering Energy Plus the aroma of the gym hit me, the smell is what I would describe as clean and fresh. In my opinion, the smell of the gym is the most overlooked thing within the gym environment, it greatly affects the quality of the workout.

While I stood there admiring the refreshing aroma of the gym, the manager of Energy Plus walked in and offered me a tour of the place. The manager introduced me to the staff, who were very polite and welcoming. What I cherished the most about Energy Plus is that they care about the smallest of  details within the place. What I also noticed about Energy Plus is its’ professionalism in terms of hosting and ensuring customers have their needs met.

Everything was brought up to perfection, from the sports equipment, to Loacker rooms, and washrooms. They were very keen to emphasize the privacy of the gym, especially being an all-ladies one. What I also realized is that they select their trainers very carefully, picking out the strongest personalities out of all in order to push customers to exercise harder and reach their goals.

There are plenty of personal trainers in this gym, but from what I saw in the gyms’ workout schedule, Barum Melissa is the most frequently used trainer as she’s an expert in training and has many years of experience. She provides high Intensity, core, strength,  glute & legs classes for ladies.

Fitness First Ladies Gym

The first thing you notice when entering this gym is its’ comfortable and warm atmosphere. Having a comfortable atmosphere in a gym increases the quality of the workout since your body feels relaxed. When we asked a fitness first gym employee “what makes fitness first different from all the competing gyms?” she replied by saying “we provide something that is hard to come by in many gyms which is comfort.”. She stated that many women switched gyms to fitness first because they felt judged and unwelcomed.

 Looking around this gym I noticed how every single person is in their own workout bubble, everyone was minding their own business and only focused on themselves; this made me feel comfortable to do my own thing. If a quiet workout is what you yearn for then fitness first is the place to go.

  Fitness first is a perfect place for mothers, since the gym provides classes for juniors like pool activities, and  martial arts. The best thing about this gym is its trainers, when talking to them you feel as if you are talking to a dear friend.

When I first admissioned into Fitness First, they checked my height and weight, and asked about my health. They would keep that report to track your progress. They also would ask you about your body goals. For instance, someone would want to gain muscle or lose weight, they would help you achieve your goal. 

My personal favorite thing to do in this gym is swing yoga, you literally float to another dimension. There are also other classes you might enjoy such as kickboxing, zumba, swimming, and yoga. After a satisfying workout you could sweat off all your toxins in the sauna provided in the fitness first ladies gym.

 Adrenagy ladies gym

Adrenagy ladies gym is one of the best gyms  for ladies looking to get in shape. The staff here are qualified and are experts in work out advice. The atmosphere combined with the vibrant pink theme gives off a friendly vibe. The space is not the biggest but it’s good enough to get a great workout in. Avoiding timings when there are a lot of people would be preferred. Equipment quality is high and advanced compared to other gyms, as well as hygiene is really maintained here.

They offer an impressive number of different classes such as Zumba, which is a dance-type of workout that combines African music and leg exercises. You do require a bit of stamina for the cardio classes and Tabata as they are intense. 

A personal favourite would be their boxing classes as they have a very cool studio with professional  boxing bags. It is advised to get your own gloves due to the recent pandemic. Timings of classes defer and it is preferred to contact them before.

The building where it is located has a roof workout area that is really cool during the winter time but less likely used during the summer time. It has two separate floors, one for ladies and the other for men. The men’s gym is located under the ladies gym, allowing the ladies privacy to workout. Furthermore, parking is easy and there’s a lot of space but you do have to pay mawaqif (parking expenses). 

Membership purchasing is flexible, they also offer a package with ADNOC employees called the Mazaya card, where you get a large discount.
