Tips for a Better Visit
Bring Water. Pack your own bottle because at least one recent review says complimentary water was not available.
Budget Parking. Allow around 20 AED for parking rather than assuming it is free.
Find The Entrance. The studio is in an office building; use the front desk’s directions if you are visiting for the first time.
Ask For Setup. If it is your first ride, arrive ready to ask staff for help adjusting the bike before class begins.
Check Class Type. Look at the schedule for ladies-only sessions if that format suits you better.
Choose Intensity. Check the instructor format or class description if you need a session that accommodates different experience levels.

The Bottom Line
MOTION is a rhythm-riding indoor cycling studio in Business Bay, with classes built around music, lighting and high-energy coaching. It is especially appealing if you want a motivating spin session rather than a quiet gym workout: reviews describe beat-synchronized rides, carefully chosen playlists and instructors who adjust guidance for different experience levels. First-timers get a fair welcome.
Several beginners said staff helped with bike setup or gave a tour, while coaches explained the movements step by step. Cycling shoes and towels are provided in some reviews, and the studio also has ladies-only classes. Beyond the bikes, customers mention Lagree sessions, a 60-minute endurance class and post-class protein shakes, including peanut and berry versions.
The facilities are a real part of the experience. Reviews mention clean showers, changing rooms, L’Occitane toiletries, Dyson hair tools and views over Burj Khalifa. It is in an office building, so follow reception or front-desk directions when arriving.
Parking is available but one recent review put it at around 20 AED. Bring your own water bottle: reports conflict, with some visitors receiving water and another specifically noting no complimentary water. Also consider the dark room, close bike spacing and AC; one visitor found the class hot and claustrophobic.
Shower privacy was another concern, while a separate review found the bathroom outside the studio hallway often unclean.
