I’ve been a member of optimal fitness for a long time and have used the gym, Optimal Therapy and latterly classes. Optimal is more of a boutique gym where you get to know members, coaches and therapists easily. It’s also handy to have a coffee shop on sight for post workout and classes. The instructors are so friendly and encouraging and make the classes interesting and fun. I completely trust them with my fitness. Big thanks to Liz, Carmen, Gillian, Carrie, Martin, Sara and Philippa.

The facilities are looking great since the revamp! The people are friendly and helpful and I have enjoyed training at there. The trainers arent overbearing and really help to create a positive, relaxed vibe. Shout out to Ally who treated my recalcitrant calves and got me back up and running in short order! Highly recommend the Optimal Community for anyone looking to get/stay fit or who needs quality treatment for what might be ailing you!

I have been fortunate enough to work with Optimal fitness for a number of years and have been delighted with their approach and inclusive nature. David has been pivotal in improving my fitness from overweight and lazy to goal smashing triathlete in a number of months. The consistency centric approach enables athletes of all levels to get involved and is totally different to anywhere else in the UAE. Just come once and I promise you won’t regret it!

I really enjoy training in the Optimal Fitness gym. It’s newly refurbished and well laid out. The trainers are excellent and there is a nice relaxed vibe in the gym. Also, it’s not a competitive environment and you feel as if the offering is very personal. Everyone mucks in. The group classes are great too - especially bounce! I’ve also had treatment with a couple of the therapists and can’t recommend them enough. The new management team has worked absolute wonders - thank you to James, Heidi, David C, Liz and Paul. Keep up the good work :-)

I cannot say enough good things about the guys at Optimal. The gym is friendly and non intimidating, the staff and trainers are all super friendly and professional and it’s an all round fantastic and positive environment to work out in. I’ve just finished the 12 week body transformation with Paul and Greg which I really enjoyed and has given me fantastic results. I’d highly recommend this programme to anyone looking to make a positive change whether it be in weight/fat loss or improving strength and fitness. I loved it so much I’ve signed up again!

David is one of the most knowledgeable and friendliest coaches in Dubai, hands down. He helps his athletes grow as athletes and in life while creating a family-like community. Hes a great guy who walks the talk and will help you do it too.

I regularly ride on a Monday/Wednesday Optimal Bike session at Al Qudra with the Mighty David, Session are always well thought out and Ive had incredible gains in my cycling for attending these session. David is an incredible inspiration to all and is selfless in his approach to training and giving his knowledge and is the master as motivation. However if you go on a coffee ride with him he will drop you in a heartbeat and wont buy the coffee.

If you want a fully equipped gym that’s within easy reach of the Ranches, a friendly environment and has staff that listen and identify your needs then look no further than Optimal Fitness.As somebody who has previously never been a fan of the gym, training here with Paul has quickly changed getting fit into both a rewarding and fun experience.

Ive just completed the 12 week Atonement programme with Paul & Gregg. I wasnt sure at first; it was a lot of money with a lot of commitment, however a landmark birthday was fast approaching & I wasn’t prepared to be a ‘frumpy fifty’. My goal was a dress that I wanted to wear to my party but the zipper only went halfway...Paul & Gregg pushed me to my limit & beyond, & my group of girls were such a boost each evening. Twelve weeks on and its been worth every penny! The dress fitted perfectly on my birthday, & I’ve hit my 50s with a bang! Thanks guys for all your encouragement & commitment.

David Labouchere is quite simply extraordinary... The impact that has had on so many of my high-performance professional clients is life altering and cascades across all facets of their life!David’s humility and generosity are remarkable and his ability to transform lives and build sustainable success has led to results that multiply personal and professional success. It is a deep privilege to work with him and an honour to call him my friend.If you are looking to take life to the next level... David is your man!

I really enjoy training at Optimal Fitness and like the community feel of it. It is a great gym with friendly and knowledgeable staff. A recent refurbishment has made it even nicer to workout in and to socialise and meet up with people in the cafe too. If youre looking for a well run, engaging and professional facility then this is the place for you!

Overall I really like their friendly & professional nature (not pushy) and that they’re very particular about hygiene n safety.I’ve attended a couple of their sweat breaking bounce fit sessions with Carmen & I enjoy her choice of music & selection of exercises on the trampoline. It’s perfect for me as it’s mid to high intensity level and very kind on my heels & knees. I’ve had to give up running for quite some time now owing to heel pain but this particular fitness class is just perfect for me!My daughter simply loves Carmen as her Ballet & Contemporary teacher. She’s been with her for almost over 5years now. Carmen is loving and firm at the same time. She really focuses on making A ( my daughter) get the right technique and is always extremely helpful in sharing fitness & nutrition tips

Optimal just has a lovely vibe & very friendly feel. It’s a welcoming place to get back to fitness esp if it’s been a while since you stepped foot in a gym!I started in Jan in group training classes with Paul & Greg which have been challenging as well as lots of fun. I’ve enjoyed every session, made some new friends, learnt how to use gym equipment safely &, along the way, finally realised diet is key! Oh & I can also fit back into my old jeans! Thanks Paul, Greg & all the team at Optimal

Weve been an Optimal Fitness member since the company started, and have attended yoga sessions there at least once or twice a week ever since. The staff and the yogis have all been brilliant, encouraging and knowledgeable, and have made a huge difference to our wellbeing!

One of the top gyms in Dubai - and the other activities especially the Triathlon and Running Clubs led by one of the gym owners - David Labouchere - are really among the best anywhere - I trained for a marathon using them and came from a total novice to a 345 time in 6 months. Cant recommend David highly enough.

David Labouchere at Optimal has created more than a gym, he’s created a motivational community which has become so important to everything I do - a great group of people that want to be better, do better and be their best. Community is key, it’s so much more achievable fo be your best when you are part of something bigger, David’s community is exactly that....

I have been visiting Hanna at Potimal Therapy for nearly two years. She has helped with my physical recovery from my first child and is currently supporting my physical and mental health during my pregnancy of my second child. Through exercise, acupuncture, stretching and manipulation, Hannah has helped to keep me active and well. She has not only supported me physically with pain but she has also helped support my mental and emotional well-being through challenges I have face during my pregnancy.It is a fantastic facility that allows you to receive physical therapy which can be supported by professional physiotherapist with a gym environment. This allow for support and demonstration of exercises that will support your treatment. I always come away feeling like I am in safe hands and I have an action plan that I can take home to support my recovery safely.Thanks Hannah

My experience with David Labouchere since arriving into the world of triathlon last October 2020 has been nothing short of life changing. 94kg unfit, couch potato to 76kg and strong - mentally and physically.Look forward to the achievements I can obtain that I thought otherwise impossible.

Cannot recommend Paul and Greg enough! These guys know exactly how to get results. I completed the 12 week Mistletone programme and part of the Atonement, as I wanted to continue with my weight loss and lifestyle changes. Working out as part of a group was fun and supportive, and although everyone has different reasons and goals for taking part, the guys make sure to push and cater for individual needs, helping everyone achieve their goals. There is also diet support and I have to give a special mention to the fun factor - makes everything easier 😀I’m very happy with my results so far, which not only include a noticeable weight loss and increased strength but I’ve also managed to get my BP under control. A big thank you to Paul and Greg.

Review №34

I started boxing at the age of 10 and became professional boxer so fitness is part of my life. I came across many Pro coaches, trainers, athletes in my career, but David Labouchere @OptinalFitness had something else to offer “crossing your inner strength boundaries with joy”. The day I met David at Optimal Fitness I was welcomed as a part of fitness family and decided to join. Thanks to David and his team I was able to finish my first Ironman which I never thought I would. Highly recommend a visit at Optimal.

I was a weak inconsistent cyclist until I was introduced to David Labouchere. He has made me improve a lot in mental, physical and psycological way. He is not only a unique leader but he is professional, exceptionally well prepared and an awesome company, and a natural motivator.Not that I am now a professional but I am a very happy and consistent cyclist.His ability to get us active and mentally fit during lock down time with his fun and hard working zoom sessions is something I will be grateful for life.The Optimal Cycling group is such an hetereogenic and wonderful group to be part of, thanks to Davids leadership.

Arguably, the best all round fitness set up in Dubai.......and probably the missing gem amongst big brand outfits.I personally benefitted immensely from the running and cycling coaching over several years when living in UAE.Optimal fitness most definitely accommodate all levels of abilities, with clear instruction and within safe environments. If you sometimes feel intimidated going to the gym or joining group fitness activity, then Optimal Fitness......... the down to earth, everyone is welcome set up is definitely for you.The family ambiance of all who attend provides amazing encouragement and fitness suddenly becomes addictive. Believe me, I moved from 106kgs to 83kgs over a short period because of this amazing independent family.

Dissatisfied n disappointed... the sales girl...was not understanding our queries or our worries. It was almost like v were dealing with the robot...its as I say thats itSad they dont have a gym instructor on the floor to keep a watch . You have to take a personal instructor...Wonder if the local law allows them to run a gym with no free instructor on the floor.
