As someone who loves to keep active, the gym is a regular part of my routine — but I always make time for my first love, Pilates. While I have my go-to studios that I swear by, I also enjoy switching things up and trying new ones now and then. After all, with so many chic new studios popping up in Dubai, it's hard to resist.
So without any further ado, here are some of my favourite Pilates studios in Dubai — all tried and tested (complete with my honest personal reviews and pricing details) that I hope you’ll love just as much as I do.
11Pilates

11Pilates is a charming little studio with beautiful, large windows offering a stunning view of Dubai Marina. The instructors are friendly and make it a point to remember your name, which makes each class feel personal. The classes are set-based and welcoming for all levels. Plus, it's half price for first timers. @11pilates_dubai

Rebalance Pilates & Wellness Studio

This lovely studio has quickly become a favourite of mine. Shaf, the owner, is super welcoming, and the teachers are amazing. What stands out the most for me is the spacious feel of the studio - it’s bright and airy with plenty of natural light through the windows. They also have a separate room for yoga and mat Pilates, and lots of cute cafes nearby too! @rebalancedxb
Price: AED 145 for a single class; AED299 for the intro 3-pack (3 classes)

Revolution Studios DXB

If you think Pilates is all about slow, controlled movements in a quiet studio, think again. Revolution Studios has a different take on the workout we all know and love - fast-paced, set to strobe lights and a playlist that belongs at a night-out, in a fully immersive space. Honestly, it feels more like stepping into a nightclub than a studio except you leave with sore abs and a seriously good sweat. For anyone looking to challenge their body while keeping things fun, this is the place to try.
