The gym with the sauna in Abu Dhabi .
A real Finnish sauna — hot, dry, built for proper recovery. Sits next to the steam room and 4°C ice bath so members can run a full hot/cold contrast cycle after every session.
Most gyms in Abu Dhabi treat the sauna as a token amenity — too small, too cool, never quite ready. RPM runs a full Finnish sauna kept properly hot, the way it's meant to be used after strength, cardio or boxing.
The sauna is part of the members-only recovery suite, alongside the aroma steam room and ice bath.
Heat, the way it's meant to be used
A dry Finnish sauna is a training tool, not a token amenity. Here's how RPM members work it into their week.
Post-strength heat
A hot round after lifting to wind down muscles and shift into recovery mode.
Hot / cold contrast
Alternate the sauna with the 4°C ice bath for repeated hot-cold cycles.
Circulation & relaxation
Dry heat many members find useful for relaxation and a post-session reset.
After boxing or cardio
A calm finish to a hard conditioning or ring session.
Before a stretch
Warm tissue makes an easy pairing with a mobility or stretch routine.
A consistent habit
Included in every tier, so recovery becomes part of the routine — not an extra.
