Gym is good

Parking is impossible

Most people looking for alternatives

I would not recommend this gym. I submitted the exact documentation required under their cancellation policy (a one-way flight ticket showing my permanent departure from the UAE), yet they continue to delay and refuse to process the cancellation. The sales process was not transparent regarding the long-term commitment, and now they appear to be using cancellation policies to keep charging customers. After researching online, I discovered that many other members have reported similar experiences. Before signing up, I strongly recommend searching Reddit and other review platforms for GymNation cancellation complaints and making your own judgment. My experience has been extremely disappointing and feels designed to make cancelling as difficult as possible.

Way to busy at peak ours. Looks like there is more memberships sold than the Gyms capacity.

Love what the gym offers and what’s to come… The equipment, vibe, trainers energy

We have big problem with Parking in sports city branch, it's charges AED 10 for every hour!

I appreciated the pro-active communication to remind me to re-new and also appreciated the offer to pay 12 months upfront for yearly membseship.

They resolved all issues

Parking is an issue now . Thanks

Awful gym. Customer service is non existent. Dont explain the contracts at all.

A hell of an experience, i moved to dubai for around 9 months, decided to start gym with gymnation, and when i moved back to my home country they dragged me through hell for the cancellation. Eventhough the request should have been very easily accepted as stated in the terms and agreement, and i provided every document, they still declined it without provided an actual reason and kept adding BS fees. Worst gym ever. Didn't expect to find such disappointment and worthlessness in such a well known name in the industry.

The most horrible money grabbers never ever go here , this is the worst gym ever go somehwere else all they want is money.

Would rate them lower if possible. Insanely overcrowded in the Dubai branches, but especially the ‘signature’ Al Quoz. An unbelievably toxic customer ‘service’ and accounts department. A ‘6 month’ membership is in fact a 7 month membership. The aggressive, threatening and tone deaf responses to reasonable conversation is antiquated to say the least. I had to leave Dubai to take my wife to Europe for special treatment for tuberculosis, which I have evidence for, but still they are chasing for their last 15 days worth of meat . So much better gyms with proper UAE service, equipment and space. Avoid, avoid, avoid!

Not trusted staff .. I don’t like people who lie.. so unprofessional attitudes.

Dear Sir/Madam,

I acknowledge your email regarding the outstanding amount of AED 160.

I would like to clarify that I had already informed the gym staff earlier about my difficult financial and personal situation and requested cancellation of my membership as I was unable to continue using the gym services. I have not used the gym for the past two months.

At present, I am facing severe financial hardship and already have existing liabilities with banks and credit cards. I genuinely do not have the ability to make this payment at this time.

I respectfully request your understanding and ask that you kindly waive the outstanding amount and confirm cancellation of my membership to avoid further distress.

Thank you for your consideration.

Hello Gymnation Silicon Oasis,

I have read your email regarding cancelling my membership immediately due to the misuse of our DSO parking facility which i was using it overnight as stated on your mail which is untrue and unacceptable. I am a member on same location nearly 2 years already.

I need to be absolutely clear, the accusations you made are false. You did not contact me at any point to verify the situation or request clarification, yet you proceeded to make claims without any factual basis.

I questioned your staff (Philippine Lady) on May 8, 2026 1400H when she was on the parking facility as i was immediately there when she send the police message regarding the parking memo on my car as i was parked 3 hours by that time. I understand that i surpass the given time limit of 2.5 hrs which it was not my intention.

Then suddenly your Philippine Lady staff/management will just go on cancelling my gym membership same time without informing me as this was the first time it happened. My last day of membership was not even the same day when they decided to cancel.

This action was just very unproffesional and shows a very very poor management of a customer service and a very rude response by the Philippine Lady on duty that day when discussing about the parking.

It is unacceptable to issue accusations and take action without even attempting to confirm the details with me. I expect this matter to be reviewed immediately, and hope Gymnation will take action on this seriously.

Regards,

there was one session free however the trainer has not even teach us how to use the machine and when u go there its hard to find the trainer to ask something also

Very clean and modern facilities. Great variety of classes for different levels and goals. Very good sorting and quality of machines. I really enjoy and recommend it 😊

I appreciated being able to trial the gym for a few days before committing and I appreciated the tailoring of my membership plan. Nobody showed me around the gym or gave me any kind of induction but as a regular gym goer I was able to figure it out myself. A complete beginner would likely need more assistance.
Receptionists are friendly and PT Omar is also very friendly.
Blitz class is great, I generally strength train but enjoy joining Blitz once or twice per week. Kate is great, very energetic and engaging. Abdalla’s class also pretty good although not as well structured as Kate.

It would be nice if Gymnation provided a water fountain / drinking station in the gym which is normally found in most other gyms. If you want water there are vending machines that dispense plastic water bottles which generates significant waste. That said the gym is clean, has good equipment with friendly staff.

Amazing helpful great amazing job
