Aquabiking at L’Atelier Aquafitness Dubai
If you’re looking for something to change up your exercise routine, then now is a great time to try out an aquabiking fitness session at L’Atelier Aquafitness.
L’Atelier Aquafitness is a high-end boutique aquabiking studio in Dubai, that offers an exceptionally, one of a kind aquabiking work-out for women of all ages and body types. Not only that, they also pride themselves with a unique lifestyle concept offering their customers a Detox Juice & Tea Bar. In addition, they’ve also got an Iyashi Dome that claims to deeply cleanse the body (I’ve done an Iyashi Dome session too which I’ll save for another post).
A few of my friends who’ve tried the aquabiking sessions at L’Atelier have nothing but positive things to say, so I decided to give it a spin. To tell you the truth, I was a bit hesitant because I didn’t know whether I’d like to get wet and super exhausted after the session. A 30 minute swim would normally wear me out, so I knew that a 30 minute extensive work-out would definitely knock me out. But I was wrong. Oh so wrong. In fact, I felt more energized!
Let’s go step by step on this one and I’ll start with their Aquabiking Session, their coaches, then on to their interior, facilities, and their impeccable customer service.

The 30 minutes aquafitness session that L’Atelier organized for us didn’t solely focus on the aquabiking work-out. There were about 10 of us submerged in the pool (10 is the maximum capacity) and there were only 3 aquabikes, 2 aquatrampolines, 2 foam dumbbells and 3 aquaboxing foam. Basically the routine would be to rotate every 8-10 minutes giving us the chance to try out, each exercise. At then end of the 30 minutes session, you basically targeted every part of your body that needs toning. Your legs, arms, glutes etc. Not only that, it gives you an excellent cardio work out!
Coaches
The aquabiking session is a group work-out along with a professional coach. And in my opinion, a successful and fun group session is only successful if you’ve got amazing coaches to cheer you on and encourage you. At L’Atelier, they’ve definitely got them. I have no idea what happy pill they took because they were filled with unbeatable energy and so much enthusiasm that they’re able to push you to your limits! You could tell that they really loved what they were doing and I’m gonna have to commend them for that! Really, hats off to these two amazing ladies, who did such an amazing job. With coaches like them, it’s no wonder L’Atelier’s got so many clients coming back to them!
Ambience / Interior
Because L’Atelier Aquafitness is located along Al Wasl road, their fitness Boutique is more of a villa type. Therefore, it would be no surprise that once you get past through their doors, you will be greeted with a homey and bright fitness studio. It’s lively, and definitely not dull. When entering a normal gym, do any of you already feel exhausted? That “I can’t believe I’m going to suffer in the gym again” feeling? Well, you won’t get that at L’Atelier. In fact, you’ll feel more excited to work out! The place can instantly boost your energy. No doubt about it.
Facilities
L’Atelier is equipped with everything that a woman can ever need after that uplifting aquafitness session. They’ve got shower areas with shampoo and body soap, a locker area and a blow dry area. There’s enough space for everyone to move around too so it doesn’t feel like you’re in an over occupied gym locker room. After all, it’s a high-end aquafitness boutique. You can expect nothing less. They also have a healthy lifestyle bar. So if you need to restore your energy levels, they would be happy to serve you natural and organic beverages and snacks.
Hands on Customer Service.

| Karima – Founder of L’Atelier Aquafitness |
I’ve gone to L’Atelier a couple of times to attend a few workshops which didn’t involve an aquabiking session. The one thing that I always loved every single time I’d enter their doors is that, they’ve got a very hospitable staff who will never fail to greet you with a smile. If you’ve got any questions about their fitness routines, they’d always be happy to give you as much information as you need.Not only that, their founder and owner, Karima is the most down to earth person I know. Even though she’s the owner of the fitness boutique, she still greets every single client, or even a random person with a smile. I think that’s makes a huge difference! Sometimes, she herself would offer you a drink. It’s always very humbling to see other successful women who keep their feet on the ground.
A Few Things To Remember Before Trying Out The Aquabiking Fitness
• Dress Code: Any kind of swimsuit with a Lycra top and shorty or long short.
• Shoes: They will lend you shoes on your first session but you must purchase one from them on your next session.
• Medical Problems: Although the aquabiking fitness is suitable for everyone, it is always better to inquire at L’Atelier and your doctor to make sure that you are fit for the work-out.
• Enjoy. A LOT!

Overall, I was very impressed and satisfied with how the aquafitness session work out. I’m never the type of person to work out with a group. I’ve always opted to exercise on my own. But if you’ve got these fit women around you who doesn’t judge you on your body type and actually encourage you to do better, who wouldn’t feel determined, right? Not only that, the aquafitness session gave me a chance to talk and interact with the other participants as we all encouraged each other to push through the rough waves of water that we created while working out. haha.
