Dubai Fitness!

I am so excited to be going to Dubai in a few weeks.  I heard some great things about the fitness scene there and I am eager to try out a few classes.  Lots of favorites like FlyWheel and Physique 57 have studios there and I can't wait to try them and compare to their NYC counterparts!

Flex Pilates

Flex Pilates on 14th street (formerly Pilates ProWorks) recently relaunched and invited me to attend one of their 30/30 classes.  30 minutes reformer Pilates and 30 minutes Barre.  The launch party had other bloggers and interested media and was a blast to attend.  The studio is brand spanking new, green and beautiful.  There is a huge couch with magazines and nice waiting area to hang out in while waiting  for class to start.  There is a hallway filled with lockers and 2 bathrooms and a changing room.  The changing room is spacious with a mirror, comfy chair and lots of amenities like hair ties, face wipes, deodorant and my favorite, dry shampoo! The instructors were hands on and both classes were pretty hardcore!  I liked the idea of two classes in one- def makes the hour go by quickly.  There is a quick transition from one room to the next- starting with pilates and then going to barre.  I have since taken the full hour long classes of both, as well as the TRX class.  All three have exceded my expectations and I would go as far as saying that the Flex barre classes are one of the most challenging bar class I have taken to date.  They also seem to have some connection with the ToeSox brand, as everyone there wears the toeless grippy socks and they were given in the gift bag at the launch event.  Classes are $35 each and packages are available!
