Crossfit is also offered in Chalk Crossfit classes. 

Our pre-visit call was positive and helpful, with the staff explaining the club and concept enthusiastically and in great detail.

At the club, each staff member we interacted with was helpful, friendly and made a genuine attempt to get to know us and connect. After the session, the team was very comfortable discussing training packages with us.

Chalk Training Ground 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 the class, the coach expertly delivered the challenging class. Demonstrations were clear and easy to follow and our coach gave us a lot of support, encouragement and individual coaching throughout. His cheerful, enthusiastic demeanor contributed to a high-energy, positive class for us, with the community spirit rounding off a solid experience.

The studio was a spacious, well-equipped, rustic warehouse set up. The space was clean and well maintained, with cleaners sterilizing and cleaning equipment regularly.

Workout and shower towels were not provided. Lockers were provided with number locks. Free water refill stations were available.

On arrival, we were impressed with all the design and branding elements both outside and inside the studio. The lighting, the logos, the design and the layout all elevated the brand experience.

The reception area was prominent and the cafe was well stocked and comfortable. The changing area was spacious and there were many additional features such as well-lit mirrors inside the shower rooms and Dyson hair dryers.

The website was designed professionally and had a distinct sense of brand. Booking our class online was a simple task and we received good communication from the club. The club’s social media channels were updated frequently with on-brand content. The workout did not incorporate technology into the experience.
