The new club is spread over 1,160sq m and offers best-in-class cardiovascular
and resistance equipment, in addition to an extensive selection of free weights.
Audio and visual entertainment is available throughout the club. Included in the membership, group exercise timetables encompass all the class offerings from Les Mills, as well as Zumba.
Also on offer are yoga classes such as Hatha Yoga, Iyengar Yoga, Power Yoga and Fitness First's exclusive Dynamic Flow and Gentle Flow Yoga, led by Yoga Alliance-certified instructors.
PT is also available through internationally accredited trainers.
In addition, members benefit from keyless security lockers and an exclusive lounge with wireless internet and complimentary drinks.
A second Abu Dhabi club - located in Dalma Mall - is due to open this month.
As a part of its expansion plans, Fitness First Middle East aims to take its estate to 34 clubs across the region by July 2012.
Fitness First Middle East is a subsidiary of the Landmark Group, a leading retail and hospitality conglomerate in the Middle East and India, with clubs in the UAE, Bahrain, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Jordan. Fitness First is a global brand that originated in the UK in 1993.
It has since grown into a network of over 430 clubs.
