Favorite workout spot in Dubai?

Warehouse Gym in Al Quoz. As a CrossFit coach and HYROX enthusiast, it has everything I need—from treadmills and sled equipment to rowers and bodyweight machines.

What’s your ultimate refuel meal?

I’m all about FITT Meals these days, covering breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The Mongolian beef is absolutely amazing.

Best places for walking or hiking?

I love Green Escape in Arjan. It has a fantastic 1,000-meter walking track. For something more adventurous, I’ll head to Wadi Shawka in RAK. The trail is about an hour and a half long and perfect for a quick hike.

Favorite recent class?

I’ve been loving hot stretching classes at Shimis Yoga. They’ve been fantastic for postpartum recovery.

Coffee or matcha?

Coffee, hands down. I’ve tried iced matcha, but it’s just not my thing. A cappuccino with full-fat milk from Kafetaso always does the trick.

What’s your go-to cheat meal?

Pitfire pizza on a Friday! I always go for the Plain Jane. It’s simple but perfect.

What keeps you busy outside of work?

I’m either with my baby or training. My focus is on the upcoming HYROX event in Abu Dhabi this July.

What does your dream recovery day look like?

It starts with a long walk along Kite Beach, followed by a relaxing day on the sand, a refreshing dip in the water, and ending with a delicious açaí bowl from Coast Bowls.

Whether she’s designing new fitness sets or preparing for a competition, Deborah Stokoe’s passion and drive clearly shine through every part of her day.
