The class was the highlight of our visit and has won our highest honor, the 5-Star Class Experience Award.
The Highlights
The class was exceptional and stood out as the highlight of our visit. Particular strong points included the coach’s communication levels throughout the session, their energy and the meaningful connections they made with each participant.

“The coach was really attentive and consistently gave different participants tailored feedback.”
“The reception and waiting areas were impressive and had a strong sense of brand.”
What to Expect From A BARE Session
BARE combines weight training and HIIT to create what they call “the world’s most effective workout”. For the cardio, they use bodyweight exercises or SkillMill curved treadmills, with free weights such as barbells and dumbbells for their strength work.
Class types include Calories for a high-energy workout and Lab, which focuses on strength work with the correct technique.
The Reception Service
Our call to the club was picked up promptly, but the conversation felt somewhat rushed.
On arrival at the club, we were met by both the coach and reception staff. The coach was very active and friendly, showing us around the facility and making an effort to connect. After the class, the reception team was friendly overall, but more depth and personalization would have improved the experience. Finally, the coach stepped in and made a strong attempt to help us continue our training with a special offer, which was a nice touch.
The Class Experience
BARE has achieved The Fit Guide 5-Star Class Experience award for an exceptional class, putting it amongst the very best in Dubai and the industry.
During a busy class, the coach handled the large group masterfully, making a real effort to connect with everyone while constantly moving around the large studio. He was monitoring people individually and giving feedback on how long there was left in each set and workout section.
The energy was high and positive throughout, delivered by a coach who came across as very smooth, charismatic and experienced.
The Equipment And Studio
The first impressions of the space were very strong, with an aesthetic that wouldn't look out of place in a high-end nightclub, with a sound system to match. Although there was a little wear and tear on some equipment, everything was clean.
The Facilities And Public Areas
Workout and shower towels were provided free of charge. Lockers were provided with number locks. Free water refill stations were available.
The reception, hang-out and warm-up areas looked impressive, with a strong sense of place and brand. The changing rooms were small and basic but did the job, offering one toilet and one shower.
Digital And Technology
