The 1Beat Story

1BEAT, founded in 2019 by Fatma and Mohammed Ghobash in Dubai, is a multi-concept fitness haven that champions the mantra: "Leave it at the door, or don't." The club invites their community to “fuel your workout how you choose to” and use their own judgment when it comes to pushing hard in the session.

The brand currently operates out of a single location in One Central, near the Dubai World Trade Centre and Dubai International Financial Centre. 1BEAT is Dubai’s first and only Versaclimber studio, so make your way down to enjoy the legacy machine that is enjoying a recent resurgence.

1BEAT offers three different class types, including R1DE rhythm cycling classes, Versaclimber sessions called CL1MB, and a dynamic HIIT bootcamp class called L1FT.

What to Expect From A 1BEAT CL1MB Session

1BEAT is a slickly designed studio and concept housed in a studio that’s built to be your “safe place”, where from the moment you step through the door, “nothing else matters”.

Their CL1MB concept involves 45 minutes of work on the Versaclimber, led by a motivating and energetic coach to the beat of the music. Expect pumping tunes and a light show to keep you moving when things get tough in a workout they dub a “rhythmic climb cardio party”. Other class concepts at 1BEAT couple the Versaclimber cardio with strength work on a bench.
