Urban Experience

A massive thank you to Chelsee for getting me moving again!
I thoroughly enjoy our PT sessions - Chelsee manages to make a challenging workout fun, and I've already started to see results after a few weeks. She is professional, very encouraging & a joy to work out with!
Chelsee is a fantastic personal trainer & I would happily recommend her to anyone looking to improve their fitness at any level.

I started doing the prenatal exercise classes at 6wks and continued through until the week before the birth of my first baby. I have no doubt that Amy and the team's motivating and varied classes contributed to a healthy pregnancy and quick recovery post-birth. I couldn't recommend these classes enough! Amy's knowledge and expertise in prenatal exercise helped make me feel confident exercising when pregnant. Meeting other women in the class and sharing the experience with them was an added bonus! Thank you Amy and the Urban Energy team, you are fabulous!

Personal Training

“I would rate my overall experience with Chelsee as 10 out of10! She had an outstanding knowledge of physical fitness coupled with an excellent teaching manner. Chelsee is 100% commited to helping others achieve their goals and I find her very motivating as she mixes her sessions to give a "whole" body workout which you never get bored with. I feel a lot fitter since starting my personal training with Urban Energy Fitness and feel a lot more focused about my exercise regime and know what I am capable of! Chelsee provides a prompt, professional, friendly service and I am extremely pleased with the exercise programme that she has created for me, she really listens to what you want to achieve out of the personal training sessions and I would whole-heartedly recommend Chelsee to others.” Can't wait to book another 20 sessions with her!

I would like to say a big thank you to Chelsee; even though it was so hard in the beginning for me, she pulled me through ! Her motivation and positive attitude made me try harder and not give up. Now, i feel fitter, healthier and above all stronger than ever !

It has been an amazing experience to run the 10k Marathon for the first time at the age of 50 in under 1 hour. Zoe, Laurence and Amy from Urban made it possible for me and I am very grateful for this unbelievable achievement. Anything is possible with a good coach!

Lots of thanks to Amy who has been the most brilliant trainer for me since June 2011. Having put on the 'Dubai stone' in my first year and a half in the UAE I was desperate to get back into shape after a couple of disastrous training experiences early on. Amy has managed to help me regain my fitness despite a back injury in October 2011 and continues to help. No training session is ever the same even though I am unable to do some of the standard toning remedies for someone of my shape and somehow I have managed to retain the good work done last summer. I always look forward to my sessions with Amy and am now almost back to 100% thanks to her hard work which at times must have been frustrating. Thank you!

I started training with Amy 8 weeks after the birth of my first child and I loved it from the start. I never felt awkward about my post baby body and post pregnancy issues and Amy kept pushing me along and making progress whilst all the time having a lot of fun. When 6 months later I was expecting baby number 2 Amy trained me through that pregnancy too and worked out programs designed for my bad knees and bad back. I'm now post baby number 2 and working hard with Amy to get back to a pre-baby body and still having a lot of fun!

I would like to say a sincere thank you to Amy who has been my trainer since Oct 2011. I have loved and continue to love working out with her. At the offset, I had a few objectives to achieve, they were regain my strenght, fitness and pre-baby weight after having my first baby in June and i have achieved all 3 goals by January. I am working with THE best trainer i have ever worked with (i have been training for 10 years). Amy is just superb and makes the sessions tough, interesting and fun. She subtly throws the gauntet to me every week but most importantly it is how knowledgable about post natal exercise and what will work to achieve my goals. Huge thanks again for kicking my butt each week.

After having my first baby and putting a lot of weight Amy and the Urban Energy team came to my rescue!! i feel much fitter and so confident I even managed to finish the10k at Dubai Marathon in under one hour, a big personal achievement. BIG thanks Amy for keeping me motivated and pushing me even harder!

I always wanted to run but the idea of running alone never gave me a motivation to do it until I heard about the Urban Energy training classes from Suzanne Radford on Dubai Eye and decided to join the team. The experience in the past 3 months has been just amazing, what makes Urban Energy team different is their care and attention to every single individual in the team. Laurence and Zoe run next to each of us and motivate us to take that one extra step and make us believe that we can push harder. The positive energy and vibe in the team is something unique. I have a full membership in a fitness club and paying for another class would have not made sense couple of months ago, but each session is worth way more than the fees. Thank you ladies, keep making people feel great and proud! Mona

I came in contact with Urban Energy through the Dubai Eye /Women's Health and Fitness team for the Dubai Marathon 10k. I joined the team back in October and immediately felt welcomed by the trainers at Urban Energy. I loved the friendly approach to training, - but also was very impressed by their expertise and encouragement. Zoe really made us feel that we could succeed - made us believe in ourselves! We did the 10k yesterday and it was a wonderful experience - I think we all felt like we had been well prepared and that the training and tips really paid off for us! I for one will definitely continue with Urban Energy - on to the next 10K!!! A huge thanks to Zoe and Laurence - keep doing what you do because you are making a big difference in the lives of a lot of ladies!

I was originally motivated by the Dubai Today and Urban Energy with Health and Fitness shout out for listeners to get running and join the team for the Standard Marathon. The accessibility and constant motivating & informative emails and training sessions made the whole experience incredibly rewarding, such a wonderful warm and well trained team, i certainly will continue training with Urban Energy, thank you , sue

Huge respect for the trainers at Urban Energy. Just completed my first ever 5k run with the help of Zoe. 7 weeks ago I never imagined running for more than a minute and now I feel so proud of what I have achieved in such a short space of time. The classes leave you feeling valued, motivated and more confident every week!! 10k here I come!!!

I am taking this opportunity to let you have my feedback on how my training sessions with Marie Becker are progressing. Marie and I have now had slightly over 30 sessions. Marie, in her gentle manner drills down to ones concerns and the common fears faced by many in achieving their fitness goals. She makes what one perceives to be impossible to gradually become possible. I feel that she has positively changed my way of thinking in terms of exercise. As a result, the change has not only benefited in the way I look physically but most importantly the way I feel mentally.
Marie is extremely professional and demonstrates great skill and care as a trainer. She keeps me on my "toes" all the time to say the least.

After lots of internet searching I finally found a pre-natal exercise that caters for working mums. Being pregnant for the first time I was unclear as to what exercise I should be doing after reading so much conflicting information. I have found the classes excellent, with Amy and Nicola being exceptionally knowledgeable, friendly and professional trainers, who accommodate all the ladies differing needs. The great thing about the classes is how friendly everyone is and alongside doing appropriate exercises the classes are a great way to start your new baby network. I cannot recommend them more highly and will definitely be continuing with urban fitness post the birth of the baby.

I attended the prenatal classes all through my pregnancy and now the post natal classes with Amy. I must say that they really helped me stay fit and keep up the energy levels when I needed it the most. The trainers are extremely dedicated; keeping in mind individual needs and requirements along with ensuring that the sessions are fun and interactive. I would definitely recommend it!

To my Dubai friends - This is a MASSIVE shout out for Urban Energy Fitness!! Your passion and enthusiasm for sport is second to none. Your commitment and belief in all of your members (regardless to ability) is outstanding and best of all, you're FRIGGIN' GOOD FUN!! Keep up the good work and I look forward to seeing you when I cross the finish line of the marathon next month! Loving your work ♥

I have never been a runner and would struggle to even run a few meters. However, after having two children, I decided that I needed to do something that I could fit in around them. I started to run with Laurence on Sunday nights and with her encouragement, I then developed the confidence that I could do it! Within a few month, I completed my first ever 10k and now run at least 5ks three times a week. I just want to say thank you: I look forward to Sundays and have even entered another 10k! Laurence, you really are a legend!

Cant believe what a difference the running classes have made!
Huge Thank you to Laurence & Zoe
I managed to bring my 1k time down from 6m 15s to 5m 46s in a few weeks.A big deal considering I could barely run 500m in my first class
I cant recommend them enough !

I just wanted to say a HUGE thank-you to Nic who has been our trainer during World War 92.
The sessions were hard but fun, Nic was a great trainer who made sure that we got out of our comfort zones and really pushed us to improve - I can't recommend both Urban Energy and Nic enough.

Just wanted to let you know that I am absolutely loving all the classes with Amy (she is great) and so are the listeners of Dubai92 radio that are taking part.
Every week new people come along and even though we feel physically broken (in a good way) at the end of each class, we are absolutely hooked.

You guys rock.

We have both been very happy with our sessions with Marie. The exercises have been challenging but sensibly set and we have enjoyed them. We have been exposed to new exercises and new ways of thinking of exercise and look forward to keeping it going. To have this level of expertise, delivered to our home and at convenient times makes it a perfect recipe for success.

Hi, I would just like to thank Nicola for her great personal training, she got me back on track in October and I went on to complete the 10k race at the Dubai Marathon which I would never have done without her motivating me and getting me back into training! Having slipped a little with my workouts Nic is now once again putting me back through my paces and ensuring every session is interesting and inspiring. Having had a few back injuries it is great to be with a trainer who takes those into account and can adjust the training to compensate! Thanks Nic!

My friend and I have been with Marie for about five months now and our sessions are at 5.30am; what a great way to start the day with someone as dedicated as Marie! Marie makes the sessions fun and interesting so that no work-out is the same. I have received many compliments about the change in my body and can honestly say it is thanks to Marie as I had hit a plateau and nothing was shifting those extra kilos! I have not only lost those crucial kilos but they have stayed off and I am toned and fit, losing fat and gaining muscle, thus trimming my contours. I highly recommend Marie to anyone

Thank you, thank you, thank you Urban Energy Fitness! After three months, I'm in great shape - my classes with Amy have been fantastic. She pushes out of your comfort zone, proving that you're fitter and more capable that you think. Every class is different, so the time always flies. All the trainers at UEF are encouraging, motivating, experienced, and just, well, lovely! But the best thing about UEF is the social experience. All the trainers build a fantastic rapport with their clients, so going to class feels like going to hang out with your mates (with the added bonus of slimming down at the same time!).

I have just spent the last three months training with Urban Energy Fitness and have enjoyed every minute of it. Amy is a wicked trainer (and I mean that in every sense of the word :) but it works and we have fun along the way. I have met a lovely bunch of girls and improved my fitness tremendously thanks to these guys! I would wholeheartedly recommend Urban Energy to anyone who wants to get fit but have fun at the same time! :0)

I wanted to let you know how much I appreciated the classes and the motivation to get fit for my big day, I can honestly say that I was in the best shape of my life & the compliments I received were remarkable! You and the girls were great fun to train with & each lesson gave me new ideas to use in the gym when I went alone.

I am so lucky to have found the website and found Emily as my personal trainer. It has been such an amazing experience. Emily is extremely friendly,kind, supportive, and challenging. I have had personal trainers before but Emily has defintiely stolen first place. Every session is different, exciting and challenging. I want to thank Emily for all her support and look foward to all of our future sessions.

Laurence, Thank you so much for all your encouragement and training. You were absolutely right, I needed something positive and this was it! I would not have been able to run the 10Km race without you - a huge thank you! It's your achievement as much as mine !

I Thoroughly enjoy the sessions with Nicola,which are well-organised and varied. It's especially good working outside with colleagues after we have spent most of the day desk-bound.

have been attending the Urban Prenatal classes twice weekly since I was 18 weeks pregnant. I am now 35 weeks pregnant, still working out and feeling great! Amy is a fantastic trainer who keeps the classes varied and interesting ensuring that you are motivated to stay fit throughout your pregnancy. You get a good workout while still having the comfort of knowing that you and your little one are safe. What’s more, you get to meet and train with lots of like-minded pregnant women. I love the Urban Prenatal classes and genuinely look forward to going along to the classes every Sunday and Wednesday evening.

I have been using Marie 7 weeks now. The service is excellent from her. She is always on time, very accommodating and knows her stuff. She listens to what i am trying to achieve and focuses on problem areas. I find her to be very effective. My goal was to lose a lot of weight in a short space of time and Im achieving that goal effectively with her help. Would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a trainer.

We have both been very happy with our sessions with Marie. The exercises have been challenging but sensibly set and we have enjoyed them. We have been exposed to new exercises and new ways of thinking of exercise and look forward to keeping it going. To have this level of expertise, delivered to our home and at convenient times makes it a perfect recipe for success.
