Every programme at UP is data-driven, measurable, and tailored to the individual combining science-backed training, intelligent nutrition, and accountability at every step. No gimmicks. No guesswork.

Ultimate Performance Dubai Marina is the home of the world’s leading personal trainers in the UAE. Since opening in 2017 in the Media One Tower conveniently located near Al Khail Metro and Marina Towers Tram Station, we have set the standard for exceptional results and personal training excellence across the Middle East.

THE ROLE

We’re looking for a dynamic and hands-on Gym Manager to lead our facility and our elite trainers at Ultimate Performance Dubai Marina.

As Gym Manager, you will take full ownership of the gym’s performance from client results and team development to commercial outcomes and operational excellence. You’ll combine people-first leadership with sharp commercial acumen, ensuring measurable results that reflect UP’s global standards.
This is more than a management role it’s a leadership position for someone who can inspire belief, elevate standards, and unite a team behind a shared purpose of delivering life-changing results.
