FAQ

Choosing a personal trainer in Dubai: questions.

Who is the best personal trainer in Dubai?

There is no single best trainer for everyone. The best personal trainer for you is REPs UAE registered, starts with a proper assessment, gives you a written plan with nutrition, trains you where you actually can train (home, building gym or online), and has consistent recent Google reviews. Being Fit, led by pharmacist and head coach Gawhar Ahmad, meets all of these and offers a free trial so you can judge for yourself.

How do I check that a personal trainer in Dubai is qualified?

Ask for their REPs UAE registration (the UAE register of exercise professionals) and their certifications, and check their reviews on Google. Every Being Fit coach is REPs UAE registered.
