Reform Athletica is a boutique fitness studio inspired by the vibrant fitness scenes of New York, London and LA. Currently located in two locations in Dubai’s Jumeirah 1 and DIFC's ICD Brookfield Place – the studio is located perfectly between the urban city bustle and Dubai’s beautiful beaches.
We are boutique; we are not a gym, and we are not priced like a gym. Our classes are capped at 14 people, depending on the class. We have five signature classes: The Reform Method, MicroForm, RA Strength, Yoga and Sculpt and Burn. Each of our classes are designed to complement one another; between low-intensity, high-intensity, stretching, strength and conditioning - we have it covered.
Our classes are 45-60 minutes long and we do not distinguish between skill levels; beginners and advanced participants are all equally welcome and no prior experience is required for any class. Our instructors will modify exercises or demonstrate alternatives to ensure that you get the most out of your session, no matter your gender or level of experience.
Upon entering either of our studios, you’ll notice we’ve tried to create a space that truly feels like home. The owners, having a long-time passion for art and culture have collected art pieces from around the world for the studio, giving the space a unique flair. There is a story behind every piece – whether it was a personal connection they had that drew them to add it to their collection, or its interpretation is in alignment with our core values as a studio. Whether the former or the latter, each piece is beautiful– from the inside out.
At Reform Athletica, we offer five signature classes; each carefully developed by our team of head trainers to ensure all your training bases are covered. Experience our spin on the Lagree method in our Reform Method class, our RA Strength class with bursts of HIIT and conditioning on the TRX, challenge yourself on the Microformer, feel the burn on the mat with our Sculpt and Burn class or wind down during a calming Yoga practice.

Your normal gym gear! For the Reform Method, Microform classes, grip socks are mandatory. These are available for purchase at the studio. For RA Strength you should wear trainers.
Come in at least 10 minutes early to change and familiarise yourself with the space, changing rooms and studios. Let your trainer know if you’re new of any conditions or injuries.

For those of you who don’t have a bottle with them, they are available to purchase at the reception.

No – we don’t make a distinction! Our approach and philosophy is that all levels are welcome. Every class can be tailored to both beginners and advanced students. The instructor gives suggestions for every level of fitness and experience. Let the instructor know that it's your first class so he or she can guide you through the process. It's a good idea to arrive 10-15 minutes early for your first class to check in for your induction.
For clients who are pregnant and new to Reform Athletica, we will require you to complete an introductory Personal Training session with one of our experienced trainers who will assess whether you're able to join our group classes.
