Everything a PT does, minus the hourly rate.
It adapts every single week
Log your sessions and the plan recalibrates each Sunday, around whichever of the 24 places near Dubai you actually got to. Strong week, it pushes harder. Missed sessions, it rebuilds with more recovery.
A real athlete behind it
Ben Sutherland competes in the HYROX Elite 15 and coaches athletes from their first session to professional level. Your questions get answered in the app.
[ Private coaching ]
The version where Ben gets on a plane.
Everything else on this site is online coaching, and online is the right answer for almost everyone — it is why the programme adapts weekly instead of costing you an hourly rate. For a small number of clients in Dubai, there is another version: Ben flies out from the UK and coaches you in person.
Coached in the room
A sled push you can feel being corrected is worth more than a dozen form videos. The stations that punish technique — sled, wall balls, burpee broad jumps — are the ones worth fixing with somebody stood next to you.
By an Elite 15 athlete
Ben races in the HYROX Elite 15 Doubles. The person writing your programme is the person you train beside, which is not how most coaching at this level works.
It continues after he leaves
In-person sits on top of the programme rather than replacing it, so the work carries on in the app the week after — dated to your race and rebuilt every Sunday, the same as everyone else's.
Private coaching is arranged around one athlete at a time, so dates, length of stay and what a visit covers are agreed individually rather than sold as a package.
Tell Ben what you are training for and where you are in United Arab Emirates, and he will tell you honestly whether flying out is the right call for you — or whether the online programme gets you there without it.
[ Gyms in Dubai ]
Where you can train in Dubai.
Dubai has plenty of choice, which means you can be picky about the thing that actually matters: whether you will still be going in March. Proximity beats facilities almost every time, and a rack you can get on at the hour you train beats both.

[ Training in Dubai ]
What training in Dubai actually involves.
Where to train in Dubai
24 gyms and sports centres sit within a few miles of the centre of Dubai. That is enough to choose on what the floor actually holds rather than on which is nearest.
Closest to the centre you have مضمار جبل علي, Veo and Hatha Vidya Yoga Centre, the nearest of them about 1 km out. Ring before you join and ask what the free-weight area looks like at the hour you would actually be there. A rack you have to queue twenty minutes for at six o'clock is the single most common reason a programme stops getting done.
مضمار جبل علي and Topgolf are listed as sports centres rather than gyms. Multi-use sites are usually where the floor space is, and often where the off-peak hours are quietest, which matters more to a training habit than the equipment list does.
Getting your conditioning in around Dubai
There is no parkrun close to Dubai, so you will need to measure your own loop. Pick something flat you can repeat, run it every three or four weeks under the same conditions, and treat that time as your benchmark.
Making it stick in Dubai
The hard part of training in Dubai is not the first fortnight, it is week seven, when the novelty has gone and the weather has turned. What survives that is a programme that already knows which days you train and does not need you to decide anything on the day.
With this many places to train nearby, the useful discipline is picking one and staying put long enough to progress on it. Switching gyms resets your reference points — the same bar, the same rack, the same walk in — and those references are most of what tells you whether the last month worked.
They are spread out, from roughly 1 km to 5.5 km from the centre, so the nearest is not automatically the right one. Ten minutes further for a floor you can actually train on is usually the better trade.
No national chain shows up in the listings here, so these are independents. That usually means shorter contracts and a better chance the person on the desk knows what a sled is for, and it does mean checking terms one at a time.
