From Pilates and yoga to park runs and feeling the burn at the barre, here are four of Savoir Flair’s top weekend workouts, perfect for getting the girls together and working up a sweat.
Amped Up! at Physique 57
If you and your girlfriends are total barre junkies, then the new ‘Amped Up!’ class at Physique 57 is the perfect weekend workout to do together. The name says it all – it’s an amped-up version of the studio’s signature barre classes. Think fewer breaks, targeted strength training, hardcore ab sprints, and a whole lot of cardio thrown in to leave you seriously sweaty and feeling that barre burn.

Yoga at The Beach
This one’s for the early risers. The Beach opposite JBR has just started offering free yoga classes to kickstart your weekend. Taking place on the South Lawn (close to the Kids Play Area), the hour-long sessions start at 7 a.m. and are open to anyone who wants to get their om on. What’s even better is that you’ll have endless options for a delicious breakfast afterwards, or you can head straight to the sand for a blissful beach day. There’s no need to register, but the classes are on a first-come-first-served basis, so yogis looking to secure their spot should arrive 30 minutes before the class starts. Be sure to bring your own mat, towel, and water!

Group Pilates at Life N'One
Perhaps one of the prettiest spots to practice Pilates in Dubai, Life N’One is the ideal weekend-workout destination. Book yourself and your friends into a group Pilates session to stretch and tone after the workweek before catching up over a healthy, delicious breakfast from One Café. It offers an array of vegan, raw delights ranging from açai bowls and super smoothies to spiced oats with chia seeds, figs, hazelnut butter, and cacao nibs. Don’t make afternoon plans; you’ll probably end up staying for the day.

Running with Nike
Grab your girlfriends and your trainers, and hit the pavements with the Nike Run Club this weekend. Various locations and runs are on offer throughout the week, with ‘Ready Set Go’ sessions taking place at Burj Park on Friday mornings. Here, Nike’s experts will help boost your abilities as you run roughly four or five kilometers around the park – a fun and social way to work up a sweat and achieve a fitter Friday.
