Located moments away from the shores of the Arabian Gulf is the new boutique lifestyle & gymnasium project; WHgym at the Beach. This wellness concept is set across two levels, at the heart of the cosmopolitan Beach development, neighbouring the Dubai Marina residential community and surrounded by a thriving leisure and hospitality scene.

The multifaceted WHgym comprises of a highly functional gym and wellness studio, grooming concept and a café within a tightly organised space. The dynamic monochrome entrance draws visitors into the heart of the ground floor plan from where the three spatial programmes intersect at the key orientation point by the reception. The cranked staircase hidden behind the perforated bronze screen leads the gym-goers further to the first floor changing rooms and the bold studio spaces.

The tall spaces evoke the volume of a redundant warehouse and the moody lighting accented with neon tones sets the scene for an energetic workout at any time of the day or night. The first floor comprises of male and female changing rooms with adjacent fixed weights and spin studio leading to an outdoor roof terrace and external stair with access to reach the outdoor training rig located on the nearby beach.

Opened in spring 2017, WHgym is a witness to the growing wellness movement in the UAE, and challenges the design preconceptions of Dubai for both local and international audiences.
