The CRANK Story

Established in 2018, CRANK is known as one of the pioneering fitness brands in the UAE. With locations in Alserkal Avenue, Dubai, and Sheikha Fatima Park, Abu Dhabi, CRANK represents more than just a place to work out. Their vision transcends exercise, with the founders aiming to create a space “where you can free your mind, challenge yourself and become part of a strong community.”  

The brand was among the first in the region to infuse its classes with nightclub-like lighting and top-tier sound systems. When paired with the club's enthusiastic and motivational coaches, a fun and rewarding workout experience was born.

How Did CRANK Score Overall?

The class was also very good and has won our 4-Star Class Experience Award.

The studio’s impressive lighting features, which were synchronized to the beat of the music, were one of the highlights of our visit to CRANK. The aesthetics were matched by the energy and vibe of the instructor.

What to Expect From A CRANK Ride Session

In CRANK's signature Ride session, you can expect heavy climbs and powerful sprints to the beat of the music. A spectacular light and sound show, boosted by a state-of-the-art sound system, completes the experience.

The Reception Service

Our phone call to the club was picked up on the first attempt and handled by a knowledgeable staff member. A little extra enthusiasm could have been shown to make us feel more excited for the visit.

On arrival, registration was smooth but somewhat transactional. Additional personalized interactions would have improved the pre- and post-class experience.
