Default Fitness/health club

It's getting to that time of the year as we all know, so I need to move indoors. Any suggestions for a fitness club? Anyone have experience with First Fitness at Burjuman or the various Hayyah fitness clubs?

I'd like the club to have a pool that is either indoor or chilled if outdoors.

Thanks

about 7,000 I think Larnie for a single membership, though they do have offers on regularly. I have lost the pricelist. I think their website is hayya.ae.

Yes I remember BC but it looks very much like we will be living on the other side of Dubai around the Marina. Any suggestions of gyms down that end?

The Lakes is 10 mins from the Marina. If it is just a gym then there is fitness first. Also all the apartment blocks tend to have a gym in them.

Oh really! I thought the Lakes was over the other side near Deira? AG and I got horribly lost that day, as you will remember and I thought we were over the other side! Oh well a whole new adventure awaits! Getting to know Dubai as well as I know Al Ain!
