A women-only gym, run by women .
Every coach, every class and every member on the floor is female. Women-only group classes, female personal training, a reformer Pilates studio and private recovery — all inside RPM's dedicated ladies section in Al Manhal.
For a lot of women in Abu Dhabi, the deciding factor isn't the equipment — it's the room. RPM's women-only section is a floor where there are no men, no mixed sightlines and no male coaches: just a certified all-female team, women-only classes and members training alongside each other. You enter through a private door and everything you need is inside — strength, cardio, functional, Pilates, recovery and grooming.
It's an environment built for consistency. Whether you're brand new to training, returning after a break or chasing a serious strength or Hyrox goal, you do it surrounded by women, coached by women. For the full equipment breakdown see the ladies gym overview, or the private ladies gym page for privacy and your first visit.

A supportive community
Members train alongside other women at every level, from first-timers to competitive athletes.
Culturally comfortable

Questions, answered.
Is RPM Gym a fully women-only gym in Abu Dhabi?
RPM has a dedicated women-only section inside its Al Manhal club — a separate floor with its own entrance where every member, coach and class is female. It is fully partitioned from the mixed section with no shared sightlines, so you train in a genuinely all-female environment.
Are the classes women-only?
Yes. Group classes held inside the ladies section — conditioning, functional, Pilates and combat-style sessions — are women-only and led by female coaches. The Engine membership adds classes and personal programming across the section.
Do you have women-only personal trainers?
Yes. The women-only section is coached entirely by certified women, including Coach Maria (MSc Physical Education), Asma Jamousi Zadeh (MSc Physiology, Hyrox/CrossFit), Giana Daqnoush (Pilates) and Imen Hasnaoui (World & African combat champion). See female personal training for 1:1 options.
Is it a comfortable environment for beginners and first-timers?
Very. Because there are no men on the floor and every coach is female, many women start their very first training here. Coaches walk you through your first session and build a simple, supportive plan.
Can I train around my own schedule and comfort?
Yes. The section is open through the full club hours — Saturday to Thursday 06:00–23:00 and Friday 09:00–22:00 — so you can pick quieter or busier times to suit you. Everything you need is inside: training, women-only classes, recovery and grooming.
How is this different from the ladies gym and private ladies pages?
Same section, different focus. The Ladies Gym page details the full equipment and floor; the Private Ladies Gym page covers privacy and your first visit; this page is about the all-female coaching, classes and community that make up the training environment.
