Hi, I’m Jack—a Privilee Member who loves to train five or six times a week. Fitness has always been a big part of my life, and over the last three months, I’ve started training at The Den in Dubai Autodrome. It’s safe to say, this place has changed the game for me.
Every Wednesday, I’m up before the sun to hit the Engine class at 5am or 6am. It’s a conditioning-focused workout that combines the rower, ski-erg, bike-erg, and air bike with low-impact bodyweight movements. It’s the kind of session that makes you feel unstoppable without destroying your joints.
Training at The Den
The first thing you notice when you step into The Den is the vibe. The music is on point, the energy is high, and the coaches are super welcoming. They push you just the right amount, so you’re giving your all but still enjoying the process.
The Engine class is no joke. It’s all about building your cardio "engine," and every movement has a purpose. By the end of the session, I feel like I’ve achieved something major, and I’m ready to take on whatever the day throws at me. Plus, the community here is next level—everyone is there to work hard and support each other, which makes all the difference.
Why you should try Engine
If you’re looking for a class that’s challenging but approachable, I can’t recommend Engine enough. It’s ideal for anyone who wants to focus on endurance and overall fitness without high-impact movements. The Den has this way of making you feel like part of the team from day one, and the atmosphere alone is worth experiencing.
Post-workout refuel
After a tough class, I usually grab one of The Den’s protein shakes. They’ve got a great menu of options to help you hit your protein target, boost recovery, and keep your muscles fueled. As a bonus, I get 15% off with Privilee!
More 5am classes
In addition to the Engine class every Wednesday, The Den offers 5am classes every other weekday! Choose to start your day with Lower Body, Upper Body, Power, and Full Body sessions.
Mixing it up with Privilee
While The Den has become a must in my routine, I like to switch things up. I also hit the open gym at UFC GYM Business Bay and make time for a weekly CrossFit session at Sands Fitness. With Privilee, I’ve got access to all these incredible venues, which keeps my training varied and exciting.
If you’re thinking about trying The Den, go for it. You’ll leave every session feeling stronger, fitter, and ready for more. See you at 5am!
