The new eco-friendly rooftop space
Located at the top of the Apex Atrium Building, Urban Playground is a 20,000 square feet space created for indoor and outdoor sports, with a high focus on being environmentally conscious, this new play center’s roof is all made of solar panels that harness the intense middle eastern sunshine and transforms it into energy for the whole place.
Inside of Urban Playground you’re going to find more than a dozen different fitness activities aimed for everyone who might want to join. From professionals to first-time-goers, everyone can find something fun to do.
Among the many activities offered you can find:
MyPrivateGym
Designed to become your go-to option for a gym in Dubai, MyPrivateGym promises that you will love it even if you’re someone who hates going to the gym. They have centered their offer on a new scientifically proven discipline called High-Intensity Stimulus Training or HIST, in which the resistance workout is done for 30 minutes, two times a week.
As it seems to be some kind of new magic trick in the world of fitness, HIST promises to help you reach your goals and maintain your muscle to fat ratio in a perfect balance. The high intensity sessions consist of weightlifting and exercises done at a very slow and controlled motion, all aimed to cause muscle failure, which ultimately leads to muscle recovery and regeneration.
To cover a 360 degree approach to fitness, MyPrivateGym also offers a red-light recovery room, meant to be used for accelerating recovery time and decreasing inflammation and pain.
Four kinds of tennis
Touch tennis, Pickleball, Platform tennis and Spec tennis all four different variations of the original sport. Each one has its own field and equipment to use during the sessions and can be practiced in singles or doubles. Every single one of them has different difficulty levels but overall, each one has a fun twist that will make you run, sweat and have a great time.
360 ball
Meant to be played in a circular court, the goal here is to smash the rubber ball into a concave disc, forcing your opponents to do the same. It’s sort of a combination between spike ball and squash that can be played by two people or by two teams.
Bat and ball spaces
There are several options if you’d like to swing a bat by yourself or with friends. There are baseball hitting cages in which you can practice your swing or compete with your friends in the side-by-side hitting cages.
For cricket fans, there are also cricket batting nets with professional bowling machines, as well as the ballpark cricket spaces in which you can set a full game of cricket even if you don’t count with a whole team.
In all of the batting facilities, the safety and sports gear are provided to you.
Group Fitness classes at the studio
Aside from fun group sports, you can also get access to their fitness group classes at the indoor and outdoor gym as well as in their studio. Yoga, Pilates, HIIT, Boxfit, circuit training, and even dance classes are offered every day by the most qualified professionals in the area.
You can purchase a booked session or membership at their website, which gives you access to their parking spaces, lockers and changing rooms, etc.
