Summer in Dubai = full sauna mode. But giving up on your fitness goals? Not the vibe. Whether you’re chasing gains, glow-ups, or just want to keep moving without melting, Vivaan Shenoy takes you through your no-sweat guide to staying fit when it’s 45°C and rising.
Ice-Cold Grind at Indoor Gyms: Dubai’s gym game is elite. Slide into spots like Crank, Barry’s, or GymNation—think AC blasting, beats pumping, and summer deals that actually make sense. Bored of the treadmill? Try a reformer pilates sesh or HIIT that hits harder than the sun.
Pool Workouts Are the New Walks: Swimming, aqua cycling, or even underwater yoga? Yes, it’s a thing. Resorts like Jumeirah Zabeel Saray or Address Sky View let you book pool access with a side of luxury. It’s giving toned and tanned.
Sunrise Hustle:
Set that 5 AM alarm, grab your iced coffee and hit Kite Beach, Al Qudra, or even Hatta if you’re feeling main character. You’ll catch a breeze, fewer crowds, and a whole aesthetic.
Mall Cardio Retail Therapy with Steps: Who said cardio had to be boring? 10K steps at Dubai Mall while window shopping Dior? Count us in. Malls are AC-ed playgrounds, and you’ll often stumble into free pop-up fitness events, Zumba corners, or VR boxing zones.
Home Workouts with a vibe: Mood lighting, cute mat, and your fav TikTok pilates —your living room is now a boutique studio. Apps like Nike Training Club, Alo Moves, and YouTube yoga flows keep things moving.
Dubai might be on max heat, but you? You’re staying cool, consistent, and absolutely unbothered. Hydrate, vibe, repeat.
