How Did Cultivate Mind and Body Score Overall?

The full client experience at Cultivate Mind and Body was good, achieving our Recommended rating.

The class was impressive, winning our 4-Star Class Experience Award.

The Highlights

Our coach’s positive and encouraging vibe was a highlight of our visit. This energy, combined with the music and clear, verbal cues, rounded off a very strong session.

What Our Evaluator Had To Say

“The coach was attentive and paid special attention to me as a first-timer, showing me how to set up the reformer and also giving me discreet tips on how to improve my form.”

“All the machines and equipment were in impeccable condition.”

“The studio’s design was spacious and comfortable.”

What to Expect From A Cultivate Pilates Session

Cultivate Mind and Body offers reformer Pilates classes that are both engaging and dynamic, building upon the foundations of Pilates while incorporating some unique variations of the practice.

Cultivate offers Pilates classes for all levels, with Beginner to Intermediate Reformer, Intermediate Reformer, Advanced Reformer and a Happy Hour Reformer which offers a surprise approach that changes each time.

The Reception Service

Our phone call to the club was answered quickly and covered the basics. In the club, more warmth and personalization would have improved the pre- and post-class experience.

The Class Experience

Cultivate Mind and Body received The Fit Guide 4-Star Class Experience Award, making it one of Dubai’s stand-out offerings.

Our instructor was pleasant and positive throughout, offering easier and tougher options to the class to ensure it was right for all levels. She walked around the class to observe us from different angles and adjusted our form discreetly when needed.

She was warm, welcoming and patient in her coaching and explanations, with her energy combining to create a great class experience.          

The Equipment And Studio

The studio was well designed, very comfortable and clean, with all machines and equipment looking in new and excellent working order. The studio had few strong branded elements.

The Facilities And Public Areas

Workout and shower towels were provided free of charge. Lockers were not provided. Free water refill stations were available.

The public areas contributed to a comfortable, well-designed experience. There was a clean look, with a minimalist design and complementary furniture and plants. The free, self-service coffee and tea was a nice touch.

Digital And Technology

The club’s website shared a good amount of information and featured a comprehensive class booking system. One negative was that the branding throughout the website lacked consistency. For example, three different fonts were used on the landing page.

Pricing

Class packs are the main option available at Cultivate Mind and Body, with options including a five-pack for 650AED and a 10-pack for 1200AED.

If you only want to take the club’s Barre classes, which are in collaboration with Physique 57, you can purchase the Physique 57 Addict package that includes 12 classes with a 12-week expiry date.

Drop-in sessions are available at 145AED per class.
