How do I reach Building 88 from Dubai Sports City?
You start from Dubai Sports City, a short drive to Arjan. Take the exit for Al Khail Road towards Dubai Hills, then turn right onto Dubai Hills Street. Continue straight for 2 kilometres until you see signs for Al Barsha South Third. Building 88 appears on your left near the Arjan Wilton Park View Apartments.
Travel time sits at five to eight minutes without traffic. Park in the RTA bays opposite the studio or on either side of the building. This route suits those attending evening classes, as covered in the Dubai Sports City commute guide.
Expect speed bumps on approach roads to slow traffic. Use Google Maps with "Building 88, Al Barsha South Third" for live updates. You avoid tolls on this path.

Is parking at Building 88 free and safe for my vehicle?
The bays are paid RTA parking, but parking costs you nothing for your class, including your three-class trial at AED 300 including VAT: share your plate number with the front desk as soon as you have parked and the studio covers your parking fee for the duration of your class.
Lock your vehicle and take valuables inside, as standard practice.
How do I park if coming from Motor City or JVC?
From Motor City, exit onto Emirates Road E611 towards Dubai. Turn left onto Sports City Street, then right into Al Barsha South. Building 88 lies one kilometre ahead on the right. The drive takes eight to 12 minutes.
JVC visitors follow Umm Suqeim Road eastbound. Pass Dubai Police Academy and turn left at the Arjan signal. Continue to the building in three minutes. Park in the RTA bays opposite the studio.
Check schedules optimised for these areas, like Pilates class schedules for Motor City professionals. Arrive early during rush hour from 5 to 7 PM.
Can I park easily during peak class times?
The RTA bays are public parking, so how many are free changes through the day. Arrive a little earlier to give yourself time to find a spot.
Combine with preparation tips from preparing for your first Pilates class to time your arrival perfectly.
What if the main parking fills up completely?
If the bays opposite the studio are taken, check the RTA bays on both sides of the building. If you are running late, call or WhatsApp the studio on +971 56 216 8166.
