Gym Status: OPEN
Our Ultimate Performance Dubai DIFC and Marina gyms are open.
With the extensive hygiene measures we have in place, we believe it is safe to train as normal.
Just like you, we are continually monitoring all global developments in the spread of COVID-19. We continue to maintain the highest standards of cleanliness and hygiene to ensure the health and safety of Ultimate Performance clients, trainers and staff alike.
