Gym Review
The fitness center at Mercure Dubai Barsha Heights is located on the 8th floor and is known as the “Muscle Bound Gym.” It offers a bright, spacious workout area with large windows and a clean, modern design. The gym is fully equipped with Technogym machines, providing a balanced environment for both cardio and strength training.
Opening hours are from 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM, making it convenient for early or late workouts. The facility features multiple treadmills, stationary bikes, ellipticals, and rowing machines, along with a range of strength-training equipment including selectorized machines, bench press, rowing machine, preloaded barbells and adjustable benches. A moderate selection of dumbbells is available, up to around 30 kilograms, allowing for a complete but not heavy-duty resistance workout.
Guest feedback frequently highlights the gym’s cleanliness, availability of equipment, and the fact that it is rarely overcrowded. The air conditioning system keeps the space comfortable, and towels and water are provided for hotel guests. The hotel also offers optional group fitness sessions such as yoga, stretching, or core-focused classes, which take place in the same wellness area.
While the gym is ideal for maintaining a consistent fitness routine, it lacks advanced free weights, Olympic bars, or squat racks that would appeal to professional athletes or powerlifters. Nevertheless, for most travelers, it delivers more than enough variety for a full-body session and stands out among mid-range hotel gyms in Dubai for its quality and maintenance.
The fitness center is complemented by a spa, sauna, steam room, squash court, and an outdoor swimming pool, offering guests a complete wellness experience. Overall, the gym at Mercure Dubai Barsha Heights provides a reliable, well-equipped environment for guests who wish to stay active and maintain their fitness goals while in Dubai.
