- What can we expect from a typical
Grit DXB session?
It’s high intensity group training, with a mix
of strength and cardio in every class. It’s a
fast-paced workout that includes 45
minutes of relentless circuits,
where you get to move with
like-minded people and
good tunes. - Is it suitable for all
fitness levels?
Absolutely! Whatever can’t
be done can be scaled or
modified. We have beginners in
almost every class, and workouts
can be tailored to all fitness levels. - What sets the Grit DXB classes apart?
I think that the combination of high
intensity strength training and cardio is a
winning formula. It’s training that I have
followed over the years and believe in.

“If you dislike going to the gym, don’t,”
says Olwin Desouza, general manager
of Ghaya Grand Hotel. Not that Olwin
is advocating you ditch the fitness
routine altogether... “Your journey
to getting fit and healthy should be
something that you truly enjoy,” he
says. That’s why the apartment hotel
in the International Media Production
Zone has introduced a stack of fun new
fitness classes, including traditional
karate, yoga and swimming lessons for
kids and adults. To help you get a taste
of the programs, you can book your
first yoga or karate class for free, or
take advantage of the complimentary
swimming assessment.
