Barry's

«Barry's» in Dubai Marina isn't a café or restaurant in the usual sense, but a fitness studio built around a healthy lifestyle concept, which is why it's included in round-ups of Healthy venues. The studio is located on the first floor of Trident Grand Mall, right across from Le Royal Meridien Beach Resort. Its main feature is the legendary RUN x LIFT format held in the famous Red Room. The workout alternates between cardio and strength blocks: part of the session takes place on top-tier Woodway treadmills, and part on the floor with weights and bodyweight exercises. An instructor guides the group through every interval, setting the pace and watching form. For those who aren't into running, there's an alternative — Double Floor, where the entire session is strength-based work on the floor. The schedule changes every week, targeting different muscle groups so the workouts stay balanced and the body doesn't get used to the load. The format suits both beginners and advanced athletes: you can walk or run at full effort, use light or heavy dumbbells — everyone sets their own intensity. The atmosphere in the room is driven by loud music, lighting, and the group's energy, which keeps you going throughout the whole session.
