The Good Stuff
Helpful trainers
Several reviewers describe trainers as friendly and attentive, with one noting they understand what each person needs.
Class variety
Members mention options including Zumba, Body Combat, yoga, spinning and Reformer Pilates across different schedules.
Clean facilities
Reviews describe the gym and changing areas as clean, with one member praising the spacious locker room, foam rollers and massagers.
Easy parking
Free parking is reported outside the mall, alongside nearby Spinneys, cafés and pharmacies.
Flexible coaching
A personal trainer is praised for adapting exercises to different conditions and listening carefully to individual goals.
Tips for a Better Visit
Visit off-peak. Try daytime visits if possible: one member found the gym crowded but manageable during the day, while rush hours brought equipment waits.
Book early. Check the booking rules before joining, especially for Reformer Pilates; some members struggled to secure spots even after waking early to book.
Check access. Ask which machines and workout areas will be available during peak-time classes, as essential equipment may be reserved for sessions.
Clarify contract. Before paying, confirm the minimum term and cancellation documents, particularly if you are a non-resident or may leave the UAE.
Use parking. Allow for a mall visit around your workout: reviewers report free parking and nearby shops, cafés and pharmacies.
Check temperature. Bring an extra layer or ask about studio temperature if you prefer low-impact classes; one reviewer found the gym and studio very cold.

Common Concerns
Crowded equipment
Rush hours can mean waiting for cardio and weight machines, with little free floor space for mat or dumbbell workouts.
Class access
Popular classes, especially Reformer Pilates, are often fully booked, and one reviewer was placed on a waiting list despite thinking a spot was available.
Maintenance delays
Some reviewers say machines remained marked out of order for weeks or even months.
Crowded class layout
Classes are sometimes held in the main workout area, reducing access to free weights and other equipment during busy periods.
Cancellation delays
A non-resident reviewer reported unclear cancellation requirements and a request left pending for manager approval.
Customer-reported prices

book early
“24- I would like to reduce the score as it became almost impossible to book any class and they force you to pay 50 aed extra per month to book early and even that is so difficult for booking of some of the classes”Google review · December 2024

The Bottom Line
Fitness First DAMAC Hills Dubai is a ladies-only boutique fitness club with a women-only workout setting, gym equipment, personal training and a broad class timetable. Reviews specifically mention Zumba, Body Combat, yoga, spinning and Reformer Pilates, so it suits members who like switching between independent training and coached sessions. Several reviewers also describe the trainers as supportive and able to adapt exercises to individual goals.
The atmosphere is a strong point for many members: women describe a welcoming community, friendly reception staff and a comfortable place to train without feeling judged. The gym is in Damac Hills, with free parking reported outside and Spinneys, cafés and pharmacies in the same small mall. Cleanliness and the locker room also receive positive comments.
The main caution is capacity. Multiple reviews describe crowded peak periods, waits for machines and too little open floor space, while classes sometimes spill into the main workout area. Reformer Pilates and other popular sessions can be difficult to book, and some equipment has reportedly stayed out of order for weeks or months.
Before signing, check the six-month minimum term, class-booking rules and cancellation requirements; non-residents in particular reported unclear procedures and delays.
