Guide:: Your October wellness plans with Privilee

Fitness classes, yoga, spa and recovery experiences for women across Dubai and Abu Dhabi

October is a little reminder to check in with yourself and the women around you.

Book a class together, find an hour for yoga, fit in a workout or take time to switch off. Pick what feels good and make room for it this month.

Here are a few places to start…

📍 Dubai

A class together

Sometimes the plan is better with company. Make a date for your next class at one of these ladies-only studios in Dubai.

At RESHAPE, choose between its Dubai Marina and DIFC studios, with classes ranging from Mat Pilates and Barre to Yoga, FitBoxing and Booty + Abs. The female-focused spaces make it a good one to book with a friend when you want to do something together that still feels like time for you.

Over in Dubai Hills, In the Pink has a mix of heated and non-heated classes, with Pilates, stretching, Abs X Glutes, Prenatal Fitness and more to choose from. Pick a class that suits the day and book one together.

Time to reset

For days when you want something slower, yoga is a good place to start.

Karma Yoga in Dubai Marina offers a slower addition to the week, with classes designed around yoga, breath and meditation. It’s somewhere to step away from the rest of the day for an hour and focus on what’s in front of you.

At Yoga Ashram in JLT, you’ll find another full schedule of yoga and meditation to work into your routine. Go solo when you need time to yourself, or book a class with a friend.

A spa moment

A massage or spa treatment can be a very good use of an afternoon.

Serenity: The Art of Wellbeing at Fairmont The Palm gives Privilee Members 20% off treatments, making it one to remember when you’re due some time away from the usual routine.

Set on Palm Jumeirah, it’s also easy to turn the treatment into a full Privilee day to yourself.

Your next wellness escape

For a change of scenery, head to ZOYA Health & Wellbeing in Al Zorah, Ajman.

Away from Dubai, ZOYA feels like a welcome change of pace. Spend some time by the outdoor pool with views across the greenery, get some sun, then make use of the plunge pool, sauna and other recovery spaces.

📍 Abu Dhabi

A class to make time for

On the waterfront at Al Bateen Marina, Believe Your Body is a ladies-only studio with classes spanning HIIT, Pilates, postnatal sessions and more. Pick what you’re in the mood for and book a class that fits.

YogaOne is a good one for days when you want to slow things down. Across Mangrove One and Masdar City, choose from Yoga, Pilates, Meditation and Stretching, with heated, non-heated, mixed and ladies-only sessions on the schedule.

With your Privilee membership:

Train together

If training together is more your thing, start here.

Volt Fitness has a dedicated ladies-only area, plus fitness classes you can book together when you’re in the mood for something more structured.

At Fitness First Abu Dhabi Mall, you’ll also find a ladies-only area alongside a schedule of fitness classes, giving you the choice between your own gym session or a class together.

Time to switch off

Wellbeings Holistic Healing Spa at Al Raha Beach Resort is one to save for a day when a treatment sounds better than another plan. Privilee Members enjoy 50% off spa treatments, so it’s well worth making time for.

At W Abu Dhabi, make a pool day of it, with the jacuzzi, sauna and steam room there when you’re ready to switch off.

Make time for you

A class with a friend, an hour of yoga, a workout together or some time at the spa. This month, put a little more of that on the agenda.

And while October puts more focus on checking in with yourself and the women around you, these are places you can come back to throughout the year with Privilee.
