GYMNATION

In 2017, GymNation burst onto the UAE fitness scene, with a mission to become The People’s Gym and an ambition to make improving your health and wellbeing by going to the gym less intimidating, more affordable, accessible, and fun for everyone in the region.

We felt residents had been overcharged for substandard (and boring) gym facilities for far too long. This had to stop! So, we decided to lead a new movement, and spearhead the fight against inactivity.

GymNation was born, and it was time for us to provide a better kind of gym experience, one that builds strength and self-confidence. One that stands with everyone, for every ability, for every shape, and for every size. A gym that is actually committed to getting more people moving across the region.
