There is one next to Al-Maya supermarket in Marina....Called KO promotions......very good gym.....
do you know their website by any chance?Yea they do that too......first everyone does like a cardiovascular training...then you can choose whether you wanna do Boxing or Muay-Thai.
It's pretty good. They have sparring on Wednesday night, I think Saturday also (not sure)
60 Dhs for one session
or 500 dhs for one month.....you can come as many times as you like....and can do more session in one day if you want.
do you know their website by any chance?
unfortunately i live in downtown so it is a bit of a painful commute
fitness first has boxing area. not sure how good or bad their trainers are but i do not think any of them have been boxing or had boxing trainer experience. (i might be totally wrong though)
I used to be part of this group: Jeet Kune Do Dubai, Sifu Joey is a very good trainer. Try googling it. They moved to Al Barsha last year if I'm not mistaken.cobragb said:There is a gym in Barsha, but I think you have to interview with a trainer first and be invited to join the program. They don't accept just walk-ins.

Mark,Hey Alex, Iv'e a number for a boxing trainer in Dubai who is based in Al Quasis so not too far: 0561480233. He is from Ireland and has over 15 years exp in boxing both in Ireland and the UK. Hope that helps!! Wont let me put the link to the website up so ring the number and ask for that, will show you all the info you need...
It was posted a year ago, so things may have changed.Mark,
The number you posted is not working - please PM me with contact details for the trainer or else with the URL for the gym you mentioned. It's unbelievable that a city this size hasn't got a single decent boxing gym, but I'll be damned if I can find one. Contender website doesn't seem to be up, can't find a phone number for them either. Thanks for any help.

My mate is a boxing coach in dubai. Very good coach too. I can get you his deets. When I am over I train with him. The gym in marina is very very good too. Just finalising my stay when I do maybe we can spar and get you to shapeIf there is anyone in Springs, or close by that wants to train then I have a bag up at my house and pads. At the moment its just me and my 10yr old and occasionally a mate, but finding the motivation to train is much easier if there is someone else relying on you getting off the settee to do something.
I'm at least 10kg over my proper weight and I'm so unfit 15 mins on the bag or pads has me wiped out. This time last year I was over 10kgs lighter and training 4x a week, moving to Dubai has turned me into a lazy chubster.
