“Came across this gym through a recommendation from Toby at DXB Sports Massage as he spoke highly of the space and the coaches. The Hyrox programming is excellent — properly structured, properly coached, and the facility has everything you need. Hit a 1,000-calorie session and the room kept me going the whole way. Will be back.”

“Really great gym with a warm welcoming atmosphere. I've done a couple of classes (Legs & Glutes) and both were well structured and explained in a good level of detail. Coaches are very encouraging too.”

“A top-notch gym experience for all levels. I've been a proud member of CTG for two years. If you are looking for a gym that prioritises excellence, caters to all levels, and delivers remarkable results, this is the place. The commitment to maintaining a consistently high level of quality is truly commendable. Instructors are highly qualified and passionate. The workout programs are diverse and the facilities are well equipped. And let's not forget the kitchen and the coffee.”

“Amazing place. I joined this community in January and since I moved to Dubai it has been my best decision. Every class is just amazing. I have tried almost all of them so far and I cannot choose my favourite. I always spend good time at this gym.”

“Where do I start? I joined Chalk five weeks ago through a recommendation of a friend and it's the best decision I've made. Since moving to Dubai I've struggled to find a gym that I loved and one that I would be consistent with — well, I've sure found that now. Chalk isn't just a gym, it's a community. We all support each other no matter the fitness level. The coaches are amazing, along with the other staff who are super friendly and helpful. Frankie, Trish, please don't change a thing.”

“Chalk Training Ground is the best gym in Dubai. The experienced trainers, superb facilities, great cafe and overall atmosphere all make this place special. There's just nothing else like it in Dubai. You can expect high intensity, killer workouts, CrossFit classes — but because Frankie and Trish are truly best-in-class trainers they push everyone to their individual limits. You'll never feel anything but welcome at Chalk, regardless of your fitness level or your own personal fitness goals.”

“Without a doubt the best gym in Dubai. The coaches know exactly how to push every individual to their limit while mitigating any risk of injury. From the weights and machines to the changing rooms and cafe, everything is new and in perfect condition. Couldn't recommend Chalk more highly.”

“Hands down the best gym in town. Excellent workouts and classes every time with all the amazing coaches led by Trish and Frankie. Strong Lifts and Banker are my favourites. Chalk is a one-of-a-kind fitness facility in Dubai combining strength and conditioning classes and CrossFit. Love the community vibe every time I step in.”
