What to Expect From A The Platform Studios Cycle Session

The Platform Studios are a heavyweight in Dubai’s fitness scene, offering a range of high-quality classes across their network including HIIT, Cycle, Yoga, Barre, Pilates and Boxing. They have become well known for bringing in superstar international instructors.

In their Cycle sessions, you can expect a 45-minute “dance party on a bike” that’s a place to detach from hectic city life. Lights, sound and the energetic performance of their instructors create a place where you can detach from hectic city life for some ‘you time’.

The Reception Service

Our phone call to the club was picked up with the perfect greeting, and handled by a staff member who came across as genuine and enthusiastic.

On arrival, we were greeted promptly and warmly. After the class, the team were comfortable going through the many options and promotions available.

The Class Experience

The Platform Studios Marina received The Fit Guide 4-Star Class Experience Award, making it one of Dubai’s stand-out offerings.

We had no contact with the instructor before the session, but once the class started she was fun, lively, positive, and led the class with a real sense of authenticity. She made jokes throughout and engaged the room with questions about our plans for the weekend. 

It was nice to see another instructor join the class, offering some fun interactions between the two which added to the vibe.

The Equipment And Studio

The equipment and studio were generally clean and in good condition. Bikes were from high-end brand Stages and featured branding touches. The sound system was high-quality, handling the tunes well.

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 public areas weren't as striking in design as some of their other locations but were overall clean and in good condition. All the basics were covered and the staff we encountered, such as housekeeping, were professional and friendly.

Digital And Technology

The website allowed us to book our class with ease, providing us with enough information regarding the different class types and coaches at the club.
