Move At FIVE, FIVE Jumeirah Village

I rarely take the time to write reviews but while I have been enjoying going to this gym this past week, they really need to sort out the parking situation because the valet parking is an absolute nightmare! I had to wait ±40 minutes for the valet to bring my car (it may as well be a reason to stop going!) Other than that, the gym is not too big but not small either. Great selection of top quality machines, and while it can get crowded sometimes, you never need to really wait or have people in your way because of the ample space and variety in machines. Wish they had more stretching bands, cleaner matts, etc. You can see also that some spots never get wiped or cleaned. Cheers!

Discovered the most amazing group classes at Move Five Gym (JVC), 6pm with Ross 🙌🏼 Honestly, it’s been a life-changing experience. Structured lower & upper body sessions, great energy, and real results. Ross is a very professional British coach — super polite, attentive, and he genuinely cares about everyone’s technique. happy I finally found something that feels right

The new rig and flooring in the gym has really levelled this place up even more. The Gym Manager Ross is super knowledgeable and helpful. Facilities and changing rooms are excellent , hair dryers etc for the girlies work well ! Reception staff are really friendly too. Highly recommend this place. Even the towels supplied are super soft and high quality. overall a great experience!

Very fantastic gym, equipment is first class, the location is convenient, the ambiance is super and you’ll sure enjoy your workout. They offer different classes including Hyrox. The staff is lovely. The beautiful Malsha is so welcoming and helpful all the time and Mazen too. So far my favorite gym 🤩

I’d like to sincerely thank the gym manager and the entire team for creating such a professional and welcoming environment. The staff is always attentive, supportive, and genuinely cares about members’ experience. It truly makes a difference

This is definitely one of the top tier hotel gyms you’ll come across. Since the take over of their new Manager, there has been an improvement across all areas of the gym. The choice of equipment plus the high level Coach’s makes it worth checking out for yourself!

Options ant the gym are okay overall. However, service at the gym is poor and staff responsiveness to customer needs is lacking. Some amenities are not fully available and areas like the sauna and steam room are not as appealing as shown in the pictures or described.

Tuesday classes at the five are my favourite during the week with Ross Bowden. Incredible, well planned and HARD! Great energy, great challenge!

I attended a pure conditioning class here this week. It was incredibly well organised, the instructor was so motivating and enthusiastic. I will definitely make this a weekly thing!

Absolutely love this gym! It’s equipped with everything you need for a great workout, including a full range of Technogym machines and free weights - perfect for both strength and cardio sessions. The atmosphere is motivating, clean, and modern. A special shoutout to Athena, one of the personal trainers here - she’s incredibly welcoming, kind, and truly professional. Her guidance makes training enjoyable and effective, whether you’re just starting out or looking to push your limits. The recovery area is a real highlight too. The sauna, steam room, and ice bath are perfect for winding down after a tough session. Highly recommend!

I continue to be impressed with this gym – the facilities are excellent, with a wide range of high-quality equipment, clean and well-maintained spaces, plus the bonus of a steam room and sauna which make recovery so much better. Ross deserves a special mention for his training classes – he’s motivating, knowledgeable, and always makes the sessions challenging but enjoyable with his banter. Mazin is a great coach for boxing and refining the technical details for wellness training, pushing me out of my comfort zone to try new approaches for overall health. The new menu is also a fantastic addition, offering fresh and healthy options that really complement the workouts. A great place to train, recover, and feel part of a community!

The gym appears outdated and is located in the basement, which lacks the ambiance typically expected from a 5-star establishment. While drinking water is provided, the absence of cups is inconvenient, and citing sustainability as a reason feels insufficient—there are environmentally responsible alternatives available that still offer basic guest comfort. Additionally, the shower rooms have a noticeable moldy smell and would benefit from more thorough and regular cleaning to maintain hygiene standards and so is the smell is the smell from the urinal. Regarding the staffing, while the Filipino lady at reception was exceptionally friendly and professional, it’s clear that she and the trainer from Sudan are being asked to manage both training and front desk responsibilities. While they are doing their best, this dual role impacts overall service quality. Hiring a dedicated receptionist would greatly enhance the guest experience. Unfortunately, I found the demeanour of Athena and the gym manager to be lacking in warmth and professionalism. They are plain rude and this behaviour doesnt work in the gym industry. A more welcoming and customer-focused approach from them would significantly improve the overall atmosphere of the gym and leave a better impression on guests.

The gym is fantastic as a hotel gym. And the staff are so friendly and helpful, qualified trainers, especially the manager who is doing a great job.

I stumbled upon this hidden gem of a gym, and I couldn't be happier! It's fully equipped, the music is right up my alley, and the Hyrox class was absolutely brilliant. Ross put me through the hurt locker during a 7-round, 42-minute circuit, but the post-workout high was incredible—so incredible that I cranked up the Rocky IV soundtrack on the way home and picked up a speeding ticket…..oops! Big thanks to everyone; I’ll definitely be back soon! 👊🏼

Our go to gym around JVC. Has all the equipment you need for a good workout including a functional area for Hyrox style workouts. Gym has recently undergone a renovation which has improved the atmosphere even further. Can highly recommend coming here.

The WORST gym, it is under the ground, Quality is zero, looks like a Night club actually and you can imagine …, the staff behavior is a big shock and funniest part and no control or authority to control them, i went there 3 times then cancelled! HORRIBLE Experience

Terrible service, the front desk lady is so rude. Just asking basic questions and she gets all confronting. Shouldn’t be the case for someone that is paying a lot of money for a gym.

Move at FIVE gym. At part of the 5am club this gym has become a community. I am already seeing a massive improvement in my fitness levels and ability to lift. The trainers are amazing and I would highly recommend signing up!

Top class gym in JVC. The new layout and refurbishment is amazing, the equipment and facilities are top quality and the classes and PT sessions are absolutely first class. Highly recommend!

Was loosing motivation to keep in shape, but joining the group classes at Move At Five have given me a new outlook and motivation. I’m especially enjoying the strength and conditioning classes since it focuses on full body movements building both strength and CV (and I have NEVER been a fan of CV exercise in the past 😂). Great group of people currently attending the sessions too so it’s very enjoyable.
