Best Gyms in Al Quoz, Dubai (Ranking)
Al Quoz doesn't look like a fitness destination. It looks like an industrial estate. And that's exactly the point.
While gyms in Dubai Marina and Downtown compete on views and vibes, Al Quoz gyms compete on something else: equipment, space, and serious training environments. The best gyms in Al Quoz include GymNation, Warehouse Gym, Seven Wellness Club, and Gigafit — all reviewed and listed on Gymzone. Lower rents in the industrial zones mean more floor space, heavier kit, and less fuss about the Instagram aesthetic.
If you're looking for a gym in Al Quoz — living nearby, working in the area, or just done paying premium prices for a premium postcode — this guide is for you. Below are the top picks right now, ranked by real Gymzone user reviews.

Why Does Al Quoz Have Some of Dubai's Best Gyms?
Al Quoz Industrial Area is not where you'd typically expect to find serious fitness facilities. It's a grid of warehouses, workshops, and logistics depots wedged between Sheikh Zayed Road and Al Khail Road. But that's changed significantly over the past decade.
As Alserkal Avenue turned Al Quoz into Dubai's creative district — galleries, studios, independent cafes — fitness businesses followed. The proximity to Dubai Design District (d3) and the wider creative economy has brought a professional, performance-minded crowd to the area. The same economics that attract artists attract serious gym operators: large floor plates at a fraction of the rent you'd pay in Marina or Downtown. A 1,000 sqm warehouse in Al Quoz Industrial 1 costs considerably less than a 500 sqm retail unit in JLT.
The result is a cluster of gyms that punch well above their postcode. More floor space means more free weights, more racks, more functional training zones. And because the crowd tends to be training-focused rather than scene-focused, the atmosphere inside is different — less selfie, more sweat.
For a broader look at what's available across the city, see our guide to the best gyms across Dubai.
GymNation Al Quoz
GymNation is the most-reviewed gym in Al Quoz — by a wide margin. With 6,288 reviews and a 4.4 rating, it's the clearest signal of what most people want from a gym in this area: accessible, affordable, and open around the clock.
The Al Quoz branch sits on the mezzanine floor of the ETA Star Building on Sheikh Zayed Road, with easy access from the Al Quoz Industrial Area 1 side. The gym runs over 400 group fitness classes per week across all its locations — and Al Quoz members have access to the full schedule. 24/7 opening hours mean it works whether you're training before the workday or at 2am after a late shift.
GymNation is the right fit if you want maximum value and a big, well-maintained floor without locking yourself into a boutique contract. It's less suited to people who want a small, community-focused environment or access to specialist coaching.

Seven Wellness Club
Seven Wellness Club is Al Quoz's most complete health destination. Off Al Manara Street near exit 43, this is not a standard gym — it's a multi-floor complex that combines fitness, Pilates studios, a spa, a sauna, and an in-house restaurant under one roof. The 4.6 rating across 1,721 reviews reflects how well it delivers on that premium promise.
The fitness floor covers strength training and functional movement with high-quality equipment. The Pilates and wellness offering is notably strong — reformer classes, physiotherapy, and recovery treatments are all available on-site without having to travel elsewhere. The restaurant means you can train and eat well in the same visit, which matters if you're in the area for work.
Seven Wellness Club is the right choice for people who want more than just a workout — recovery, food, and wellbeing in one spot. It's not the most affordable option in Al Quoz, and the focus on wellness means it won't suit someone who just wants access to a large free-weights floor.

Warehouse Gym Al Quoz
Warehouse Gym Al Quoz is the original location — the one that put Al Quoz on Dubai's fitness map. Housed in a converted industrial warehouse on Umm Suqeim Road opposite the Lulu Hypermarket, it's where the brand's identity was built: graffiti-covered walls, a dedicated CrossFit zone, Olympic lifting platforms, and a ladies-only gym within the same space.
The gym scored 4.6 from 1,481 reviews. What makes Warehouse Gym stand out beyond the equipment is the member network — a single membership gives you access to all other Warehouse locations across Dubai, which is useful if you split time between neighborhoods. The CrossFit community here is one of the largest and most established in Dubai, with open gym access alongside structured class programming.
Warehouse Gym Al Quoz suits people who train seriously and want a gym with real culture — competitive athletes, CrossFitters, and lifters who care more about what's on the floor than what's on the ceiling. If your priority is a quiet, low-key environment or a full spa experience, look elsewhere.
For those focused specifically on functional fitness and CrossFit in Dubai, see our guide to CrossFit gyms in Dubai.

Gigafit Gym
Gigafit Gym holds the highest average rating among Al Quoz gyms listed on Gymzone — a 5.0 from 1,157 reviews — which makes it worth a closer look. Located on 6th Street in Al Quoz Industrial Area 1, the key differentiator here is a swimming pool, which is genuinely rare in an industrial-area gym setting.
For members who want to combine lap swimming with gym training without paying luxury club prices, Gigafit offers genuine value. The full-service setup covers cardio, strength, and group classes in addition to the pool access.
Gigafit suits people who need pool access as part of their training — triathletes, swimmers, or anyone who wants the option of a swim alongside their gym sessions. Its 5.0 rating is exceptional, though a smaller review base than GymNation or Warehouse Gym means you should check recent reviews before committing.
Active Fitness Al Quoz
Active Fitness Al Quoz sits at The Curve building on Sheikh Zayed Road (Al Quoz Third) and offers a well-rounded general fitness setup with a 4.5 rating from 1,302 reviews. It's a solid all-rounder — cardio, strength, and a range of equipment for different training styles.
The location on Sheikh Zayed Road makes it practical for anyone commuting through Al Quoz rather than living or working directly inside the industrial zone. It's a reliable, no-drama option for members who want access to a full gym without the specialist focus of a CrossFit box or martial arts academy.

The Warrior — Martial Arts Academy
The Warrior is a martial arts academy in Al Quoz Industrial Area 1 with a 4.9 rating from 971 reviews. What makes The Warrior notable is its focus on character development alongside physical training — the academy is structured around values-led martial arts instruction, not just technique.
The curriculum covers multiple disciplines, and the programming is designed for both adults and children. If you're looking for a martial arts environment that takes training philosophy seriously — rather than just a facility where you can punch bags — The Warrior stands out.
It's a specialist choice. If you want a general gym with a martial arts section as an add-on, this isn't the right fit. But if martial arts training is your primary goal, the near-perfect rating and strong review base speak for themselves.
Binous — Bodybuilding Gym Al Quoz
Binous is a serious bodybuilding gym in Al Quoz Industrial Area 3, with a 4.5 rating from 844 reviews. It pairs strength training with in-house nutrition services — a combination that suits dedicated lifters who want coaching on both sides of their results.
The Al Quoz industrial setting is fitting: this is a gym that's here for the work, not the aesthetics of the building. The free weights and equipment selection is geared toward bodybuilding-style training, and the nutrition element makes it more than just a gym-floor membership.
Binous suits people who train with specific physique or strength goals and want a focused environment. It's not the right choice for someone who wants a broad class schedule, pool access, or a full wellness offering.
Team Nogueira Dubai — MMA & Combat Sports
Team Nogueira Dubai is a multi-discipline combat sports gym in Al Quoz Industrial Area 3, positioned just behind the Audi showroom on Sheikh Zayed Road near exit 46. It scores 4.7 from 645 reviews — a strong rating for a specialist martial arts facility.
The gym covers MMA alongside dedicated disciplines including Brazilian jiu-jitsu, boxing, Muay Thai, and wrestling. Team Nogueira as a brand has deep roots in professional MMA, and the Dubai branch reflects that seriousness of purpose. Classes run for both beginners and competitive-level practitioners.
This is the right fit for anyone serious about combat sports training. It's not suited to general gym members — there are no cardio zones or weight training floors in the traditional sense. The focus is entirely on martial arts.
You can find more options across the UAE by browsing martial arts studios on Gymzone.

Fitness First Oasis
Fitness First Oasis is the Al Quoz branch of the region's largest gym chain, located in Oasis Centre on Al Waha Street. It carries a 4.3 rating from 654 reviews and stands out within the Fitness First network for its Pilates reformer studio and spin classes — amenities that aren't standard across all Fitness First branches.
The Oasis Centre location gives it a more traditional retail-mall gym feel compared to the industrial-area options on this list. That works for some people — easy parking in a familiar shopping center environment — and less so for those who prefer a standalone, training-focused facility.
Fitness First Oasis is a reliable choice for members who already use Fitness First across other locations and want a branch accessible from Al Quoz. It's also worth considering for anyone who specifically wants access to reformer Pilates alongside a full gym floor.

Matcha Club — Padel & Wellness
Matcha Club takes a different angle from every other entry on this list. Located on 8th Street in Al Quoz Industrial Area 1, it focuses on padel tennis and wellness rather than traditional gym training. The 4.5 rating from 604 reviews reflects a well-run, purpose-built facility for its specific niche.
Padel has grown rapidly across Dubai, and Al Quoz — with the available warehouse space — is a natural home for multi-court facilities. Matcha Club pairs court access with wellness programming, making it a social training environment as much as a fitness one.
If your idea of regular exercise includes court sports alongside or instead of gym training, Matcha Club is one of the better options in Al Quoz. It's not the right fit if you want cardio machines, weights, or group fitness classes.
Which Al Quoz Gym Is Right for You?
Al Quoz has more gym variety per square kilometre than most Dubai neighbourhoods. But that variety means the choice matters — the wrong gym is a wasted membership fee.
Here's a straightforward way to decide:
- Budget-first, 24/7 access: GymNation Al Quoz. The price point and class schedule are hard to match.
- Serious strength training or CrossFit: Warehouse Gym Al Quoz. The equipment depth and community are the best in the area.
- Full wellness — gym + recovery + food: Seven Wellness Club. One stop for everything.
- Swimming pool included: Gigafit Gym. The only pool option in the Al Quoz industrial zone.
- Bodybuilding with nutrition support: Binous.
- Martial arts — MMA or multi-discipline combat: Team Nogueira or The Warrior, depending on which disciplines you're prioritising.
- Court sports and social fitness: Matcha Club for padel.
- Familiar chain gym with pilates: Fitness First Oasis.
Before signing up, check whether the gym offers a day pass or free trial. Most Al Quoz gyms will let you train once before committing — it's worth taking them up on it to check the atmosphere and equipment quality yourself.
