Sultan Bin Zayed The First Street, the road most people call Muroor
Muroor Road is one of the main arteries across Abu Dhabi island. Its official name is Sultan Bin Zayed The First Street, and its older name, Al Muroor Street, still turns up too. Two groups look for a gym beside it: people who live along it, and people who drive its length across town on working days.
Their questions differ, so this page answers them separately. RPM is one club, on Level 4 of AD HUB Sports Complex in Al Manhal, and on the mapped estimates Muroor Road is close by, but closeness alone does not make a gym the right one. For the checks that apply to any gym chosen by location, see how RPM's one club works as a gym near you.
Is a gym near Sultan Bin Zayed The First Street the same as a gym near Muroor Road?
Yes. Sultan Bin Zayed The First Street is the official name of Muroor Road, and Al Muroor Street is an older name for it. Whichever you searched for, this page and its route figures apply.
Living along the artery: claim your hours
For residents, the drive to AD HUB rarely ends a routine. The main road outside the door does. At peak times a busy artery makes even a short trip feel like a chore, so residents who keep training tend to settle on calmer hours and stop debating it.
- Before work: the club opens early, so the session is done before the day makes demands, and the evening stays yours.
- After dinner: once the evening rush has passed, a late session becomes the easiest part of the day.
- Weekend mornings: the longest session of the week, with time for the recovery suite if your tier includes it.
- Women in the household who would rather train away from men can use the Ladies section, with its own strength and cardio equipment and the Pilates studio.
| Days | Opening hours |
|---|---|
| Saturday to Thursday | 06:00–23:00 |
| Friday | 09:00–22:00 |
Hours can change, for example during Ramadan. Confirm with the team before a late or early visit.
Is there a gym in Al Muroor?
This page reads Al Muroor as the area along Muroor Road, and does not try to mark where that area begins or ends. RPM is not in it: the club is in Al Manhal, on Level 4 of AD HUB Sports Complex. If you live along Muroor Road, the resident advice above is for you.
Driving through: when to break the trip
If Muroor Road is simply your way across town, a stop at RPM makes sense on some days and not others. Sort each day with the two columns below.
| Stop at RPM when | Keep driving when |
|---|---|
| The traffic ahead would cost you as much time as a session | You are already late for something at the far end |
| Your bag is in the car and the session is planned | You would have to go home for your kit first |
| Home lies further along your route, so the stop splits the drive | The stop means doubling back the way you came |
| A coached session or a class is booked at that hour | You would be making up a workout to pass the time |
For the wider method, read placing a gym on a route through the middle of the city. A stop that splits the drive costs little. One that sends you back on yourself costs a lot.
Where the measurement starts on a long road
Muroor Road covers a long stretch of the island, and nobody joins it at the same spot. The route box at the top of this page measures from wherever the road comes nearest to RPM, not from your part of it. Add your own run along the road to that point, then drive the whole thing once at your training hour.
Arrival works the same for both groups: free on-site parking at AD HUB, then the lift up to Level 4.
Questions to bring on the free tour
| Ask | Why a resident asks | Why a through-driver asks |
|---|---|---|
| Which hours are quietest on the training floor? | To pick a slot you will keep for months | To know whether stopping at your usual hour means waiting for equipment |
| Which sections does each tier cover? | Several people at home may join, with different needs | One tier may suit a few visits a week better than another |
| How are coached sessions booked? | A fixed weekly session anchors the routine | A booked slot turns a maybe into a definite stop |
| Is a day or weekly pass available right now? | To test a few evenings before joining | To test the stop over a real week of driving |
Passes are offered for limited periods, and the team confirms whether one is running, its price and what it includes. The free guided tour is a walk-through with a team member, not a training session.
Questions, answered.
Will I find RPM on Muroor Road itself?
No. RPM has a single club, on Level 4 of AD HUB Sports Complex in Al Manhal. The route box above shows the mapped trip from the road.
I live on Muroor Road and my evenings are unpredictable. Can a membership still pay off?
Probably, if your mornings are steadier, since a session before work survives a late meeting. If neither end of the day is reliable, ask whether a pass is available to test a few weeks first. Pass offers vary over time, so check with the team.
I cross town on Muroor Road only a few days a week. Which tier suits that?
The Floor tier is the training floor on its own, Engine adds coached programming, and Atelier centres on one-to-one coaching. For a handful of fixed days, ask the team to compare Floor and Engine against your pattern. They confirm inclusions and prices when you enquire.
Is the recovery suite alone worth the drive from Muroor Road?
Perhaps for a resident after a long weekend session, but rarely for a through-driver. Ask which tiers include the Finnish sauna, aroma steam room and ice bath, and check with your doctor first if you are pregnant or have a heart condition.
