GymNation, a homegrown UAE fitness brand, has introduced a revolutionary concept: the world’s first in-gym hotel, The GymNation Hotel.

This new innovation offers a convenient spot to recover between sets or rest after a late-night training session without needing to head home.

Available for booking directly through GymNation, The GymNation Hotel is far from an ordinary hotel.

It serves as a premium recovery hub, ideal for fitness enthusiasts or those who might need some extra motivation to stick with their workout routine.

Ever been told you “live at the gym”? Well, now you can.

The GymNation Hotel creates a unique fitness-focused stay, complete with dumbbell-shaped towels for added flair and a “Press for Protein” button that delivers fresh protein shakes right to your bedside.


If lounging isn’t your thing, turn on your TV for a quick dose of “Gymflix” while stretching or foam rolling.

This isn’t a place for relaxation alone; it’s designed to help you reset quickly so you can keep chasing your fitness goals.

Speaking about the launch, Loren Holland, Founder and CEO of GymNation, shared, “We’re always looking to innovate, and during a recent trip to Riyadh, an idea struck us.

Most hotels offer gym facilities, but why aren’t there gyms that offer hotel facilities?”

This innovative hotel launch aligns with the Middle East’s booming health and fitness industry, which is witnessing rapid growth.

Gym penetration rates in the region are among the highest globally, with Saudi Arabia showing a stunning compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16.8% between 2020 and 2023, while the UAE follows with 5.8%.

A recent survey also revealed that 90% of UAE and Saudi travelers actively work out while traveling.

The GymNation Hotel concept may also appeal to the influx of visitors to Dubai.

Last year, Dubai welcomed a record-breaking 28.72 million visitors, marking a 9% increase from the previous year.

With a hotel occupancy rate of 78% in 2024 and over 11,300 additional rooms projected by 2027, Dubai continues to cater to increasing international demand.

“GymNation has always been about making health and wellness more accessible, affordable, and fun for everyone.

The GymNation Hotel takes this mission further by offering an innovative, affordable way for fitness enthusiasts to stay in Dubai.

Positioned at a prime location, our hotel allows guests to cut out travel time or the hassle of heading home after a workout.

Guests can power up, recharge, and seamlessly transition from bed to the gym floor.

We’re excited to trial this concept, and depending on the response, we plan to expand the idea across our gyms in the UAE and Saudi Arabia.

By doing what other gyms can’t or won’t, GymNation aims to foster a healthier and more active community,” added Holland.

Train hard and rest like a king. The GymNation Hotel provides the perfect setting to dominate your workout, get a good night’s sleep, and wake up ready to conquer the day.
