This Dubai fitness studio is giving us a reason to work out with our bestie

If your motivation improves the second you have a friend next to you, you’re not alone. Training with a workout partner often makes it easier to show up, push through the hard bits, and actually stick to a routine long enough to see results.

BodyBase at JW Marriott Marquis Hotel has launched two offers designed around that exact idea: make the first class feel easy, and make weekend workouts feel like an experience.

Schedule and value notes

• Runs on Saturdays and Sundays
  
  

• The article states it runs from January through March 2025, even though it’s published in 2026, so it’s worth confirming the current dates directly with the studio before you book.

Why reformer workouts work well with a friend

Reformer training is naturally partner-friendly because it’s structured, coach-led, and easy to scale:

• You can both follow the same class while adjusting intensity
  
  

• Technique improves faster when you stay consistent
  
  

• It’s gentler on joints than a lot of high-impact routines, especially for beginners

Make it a routine instead of a one-off

A “bestie workout” becomes effective when it’s repeatable. A simple approach:

• Pick a fixed day and time (same slot each week)
  
  

• Keep the goal small: 1–2 sessions weekly for the first month
  
  

• Track one improvement: better control, more range, or stronger core stability
