Dubai 30x30: GxBar and RISE Pilates Studio Bring Fitness and Beauty Together

Wellness is often built around the small choices we make to feel good, from finding time to move our bodies to making space for a little self-care. While these rituals do not always need to be complicated, bringing them together can make a morning feel that much more rewarding. This November, GxBar and RISE Pilates Studio are doing exactly that with a one-day experience in Dubai that combines Reformer Pilates, beauty treatments and a moment to slow down.

Taking place on 1 November as part of Dubai 30x30, the GxBar x RISE One-Day Wellness Experience invites guests to enjoy a morning dedicated to movement and feeling good. Running from 9:30am to 11:30am, the activation brings two sides of a modern wellness routine together, starting with a 50-minute Reformer Pilates class at RISE before moving over to GxBar for a personalised 30-minute beauty treatment.

It is an appealing combination for anyone who enjoys making time for exercise but also appreciates the confidence boost that comes with a little pampering. Rather than treating fitness and beauty as separate appointments, the experience creates a natural transition between the two, giving guests the opportunity to move, refresh and leave feeling ready for the rest of the day.

Start with Movement

The morning begins at RISE Pilates Studio with a 50-minute Reformer Pilates session. Known for its focus on controlled movement, strength, stability and flexibility, Reformer Pilates offers a full-body workout that challenges the muscles while encouraging greater body awareness. It is also an accessible way to bring mindful movement into the day, whether you are already familiar with the reformer or looking to make Pilates part of your regular routine.

With Dubai 30x30 encouraging residents to embrace more active lifestyles, the collaboration offers a social and enjoyable way to take part in the city's wider movement initiative. It is a reminder that making time for physical activity does not have to feel like another item on the to-do list; it can be something to look forward to.

Make Time for a Beauty Reset

After the workout, guests can head to GxBar for their choice of 30-minute express treatment. The selection allows everyone to personalise the experience according to what they feel like that morning, whether that means a little extra care for their skin, a polished finish or a simple moment of relaxation.

Options include a hand or feet spa, an express facial, express make-up and a selection of mono services, such as bright lips, bright eyeliner or freckles. Those who would prefer to focus on their hair can choose a wash and finish, or have their hair curled or straightened with an iron without a wash.

The idea is to keep things easy and convenient, with enough choice to make the experience feel personal. After a Pilates class, a beauty treatment offers a chance to pause, refresh and enjoy a little time for yourself before returning to the day.

A Morning That Brings It All Together

Priced at AED 199 per person, the experience includes the 50-minute Reformer Pilates class, one 30-minute GxBar treatment, complimentary refreshments and snacks, and an exclusive goodie bag. With limited tickets available, guests can select from separate booking slots, making it easier to plan their morning.

Ultimately, the collaboration is about bringing together two simple but important elements of feeling good: moving your body and taking time to care for yourself. Whether you are looking to try Reformer Pilates, enjoy a beauty treatment or simply spend a morning doing something different, it offers a chance to make wellness feel a little more social, enjoyable and accessible.
