Hugely popular (and busy) already, there was clearly pent-up demand for a big, energetic gym on the Palm Jumeirah. This place has bounce off the wall energy, necessary if you do any of its classes, which vary from Zumba to Step, from Body Pump to Body Attack. You can even do Yoga upside down if you want.\u00a0Full class schedule here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This is a Platinum club so is not cheap (approximately 7,500 AED for the year). However it’s clearly enjoyed by its members who pack and pump themselves in an up every night.\u00a0What’s nice about it is the mix. Yes, there are your incredibly fit gym professionals who clearly spend more time in the gym than at work, and\u00a0the young and very beautiful who do a serious amount of wafting about, very little actual exercise and yet still look amazing, and then there are we normal human beings, huffing and puffing our way on the endless journey towards slimness and fitness.<\/p>\n
