The Dubai-born fitness brand has launched its first location outside the UAE, bringing its design-led workouts to Riyadh.
Riyadh has no shortage of wellness and fitness spaces. In fact, over the past few years, the capital has seen a significant surge in the number of studios and gyms as residents adopt healthier, more mindful lifestyles. To meet that growing appetite for fitness experiences, Reform Athletica Riyadh is joining the mix.
Reform Athletica has officially expanded to Saudi Arabia with a new outpost in the capital’s Diplomatic Quarter. Known in the UAE for turning exercise into a considered, community-driven experience, the studio is set to deliver the same blend of challenge and calm that helped it build a loyal following in Dubai.
Design remains central to the concept. Reform Athletica Riyadh has been created in collaboration with London-based architecture and interiors firm TR Studio, with light-filled interiors, soft tones and clean lines that keep the focus on movement. Art also plays a visible role throughout the studio, staying true to Reform Athletica’s creative identity.
In terms of facilities, the new location is built for variety. Expect a dedicated Megaformer room, a multipurpose studio for various class formats, and three private personal training rooms for one-on-one sessions. The site also includes separate male and female changing rooms with showers, making it easy to fit a class into the working day. Post-workout, there’s RA Fresh Cafe serving smoothies, coffees and light bites.
As for the programming, Reform Athletica Riyadh offers a mix of workouts designed to strengthen, challenge and restore. Options include the Reform Method, Microform sessions, RA Strength classes, and yoga, all anchored in intentional movement with an emphasis on endurance, control and sustainable results.
Reform Athletica first opened in 2018 in Dubai’s Jumeira 1, later expanding with a second venue at ICD Brookfield Place in DIFC. The Riyadh opening marks the brand’s first step beyond the UAE, and a timely one as Saudi’s appetite for premium wellness concepts continues to grow.
