Squat racks, lifting platforms and plate-loaded machines fill the main floor, laid out so your coach can move you from one lift to the next without waiting for kit.

Indoor Sled Track

A full-length sled track runs through the centre of the gym for pushes, pulls and sprint conditioning.

Free Weights and Cables

Dumbbells, barbells, adjustable benches and cable stations cover everything from your first sessions to heavy strength blocks.

Client Lounge

The client lounge beside reception is where you meet your trainer before each session and review your progress afterwards.

Parking and Metro Access

Personal Training

Every Session Coached One to One

Training at ROAR starts with a comprehensive assessment. Your personal trainer uses it to design your programme, coaches every session with you on the gym floor and adjusts the plan as your strength and body composition change.

Every programme includes a dedicated nutrition coach and regular body composition assessments. Both are part of the ROAR Method behind all of our personal training in Dubai.

Real transformations. In their own words.

When you decide to start investing in your health, you truly never know what pathway you’re about to walk down or where to even start. My journey with ROAR Fitness, both within my first 12 weeks and beyond, has been completely transformative. I have so much more confidence exercising, and I actually enjoy going to the gym (which is something I never thought I’d say). Joe West has been phenomenal. His understanding that each person is different and needs a custom approach, combined with his deep knowledge of the human body and mindset, really adds another level to the experience. Of course, health doesn’t stop with exercise. The whole team is behind you to help guide your nutrition as well, which is a magical combination. I’ve tried other gyms and PTs and they all failed, but this is really worth the investment. Thank you Joe and the ROAR team! Forever grateful ✨🙏✨

Fantastic experience training with Kyrun. Every session is focused and a push. I always see some progression and get great coaching advice. Fully recommend
Francis Osei Bonsu
I have seen that this place is just different from the normal gym. They target the right muscle so improvements is so fast and the personal trainers are very professional and know exactly what they are doing especially James who happens to be my PT. It really worth the money paid.

I recently started personal training program at ROAR fitness with Kareem. From the outset he has been approachable and made my return to the gym easy. He assessed my baseline fitness level and quickly set me a challenging program that has enhanced my strength, while factoring in a pre-existing injury. Kareem is a knowledgeable trainer who listens - he is willing to quickly develop new, diverse workouts based on client feedback while maintaining the key goals of the training program. He has a consistently positive approach and he knows how to push you without resorting to the shouting you see in some gyms. For people looking to start personal training I would have no hesitation in recommending Kareem's services.

James has been such an amazing PT! I was completely new to weight training a year ago and have battled with neck issues for years, so I approached it with caution and worry. With James’ method, I haven’t got injured at all and my neck (and body) feels stronger than ever.
Simos Schizas
Karim has been an excellent personal trainer. Very professional, motivating, and knowledgeable. Every session is well-structured and tailored to my goals. I’ve noticed a real improvement in my strength and fitness. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a great trainer!
Hedeer Jawad
I’ve been training with Kareem for the past two months and have already noticed a real difference in my strength and overall training. What I appreciate most is how purposeful every session feels. Kareem pushes me properly, often taking the exercises to failure, while always paying close attention to my form and making sure I’m actually activating the muscles we’re targeting. He’s also taken the time to make sure I understand my programme, the reasoning behind what we’re doing, and the trajectory we’re working towards. I never feel like I’m just going through the motions — there’s a clear plan and progression. The sessions are challenging, but I always leave feeling stronger, accomplished and genuinely good. Kareem is knowledgeable, attentive and knows exactly when to push you. I’d highly recommend him to anyone serious about getting stronger and training properly. I genuinely enjoy the sessions.

I love ROAR. Being new to Dubai I needed a base for PT with like minded people where I could progress my strength work and feel at home. I really love the space, the team and the music!! It’s a true community. Todd, my PT, is excellent and I’d really recommend him. He has made me stronger than I’ve ever been and people notice. I notice. I’m really pleased with the progress and can’t wait to see it continue. He pushes me. He listens and encourages me to bring my best everyday. His nutritional advice is strong, consistent and realistic for me with my lifestyle. I appreciate the personalised approach he’s taken to both my training and nutrition.

I've been training with Kareem at Roar and I am really happy with my progress. Kareem is an amazing PT - professional, knowledgable, and amicable and knows how to push you. Highly recommend training with him.
Yousif Abdulla
Signed up to RoaR back in July and I’d highly recommend it. From the welcoming initial consultation onwards, an individualised training and diet plan is set for you, which essentially guarantees results if you follow it. The sessions with Alfie have been awesome and I’ve built strength / muscle rapidly, James is a walking encyclopaedia on nutrition who knows his stuff. Both trainers have taught me lots of useful things around training and nutrition that I’ll take in to practice beyond my time at RoaR.
