Sands is a community based gym located in Motor City and we are passionate about helping people redefine their fitness limits!
Above all…
Our training programs are designed for everyone from the complete beginner to the elite athlete, for all ages, body types and varying fitness levels and include:
The aim of CrossFit is to forge a broad, general and inclusive fitness. We use the ten recognised fitness domains; increased power, speed, strength, cardiovascular endurance, flexibility, stamina, coordination, agility, balance and accuracy to formulate a customised fitness plan.
Crossfit is for the complete beginner to the elite athlete, for all ages, body types and varying fitness levels.
Every class is led by a qualified Coach and is limited to the number of members per coach to ensure each member receives sufficient attention, quality coaching and ensuring maximum possible safety.
Our CrossFit Adults program runs 7 days a week, Mon to Fri morning and evening classes; Sat & Sun morning classes.
Every day has a new and different Workout of the Day (WOD) programmed by our expert coaches based on different functional movements that reflect the best aspects of weightlifting, gymnastics, running, rowing and more.
Perfect for:
Our CrossFit Kids program emphasises good movement throughout childhood and adolescence in a fun environment.
Consistently good mechanics translates to physical literacy, enhanced sports performance, and fewer sports injuries for kids. Not only that, a vast body of research indicates that exercise is beneficial to cognitive function, which means that consistent adherence to the program can have a positive impact on children’s academic achievement.
Program | Ages | Class Duration |
---|---|---|
Kids | 5-9 yrs | 45 mins |
PreTeens | 10-14 yrs | 60 mins |
Teens | 15-17 yrs | 60 mins |
IGNITE is a fitness program offering simple, easy to implement movements and conditioning pieces mixed in a variety of combinations and time durations. All movements in the classes are scaled to your personal needs by our expert coaches.
Workouts include bodyweight, dumbbells, kettlebells, sandbags, bands and more. We believe in functional movements which translate to activities outside of the gym, these functional movements make up the majority of our programming.
We mix these functional movements with rowing, biking, running and more.
Our IGNITE program runs Mon to Thurs each evening. Classes are programmed by our expert coaches and is different every day.
IGNITE is a perfect starting point or reintroduction to functional training yet intense and challenging for those who have been training for a long time. Each class is scaled to become more or less challenging dependent on your individual needs.
Perfect for:
If you are looking for premium individual coaching to achieve your personal goals then personal training is perfect for you. Personal training can be taken as 1 on 1 sessions or small group classes.
Our world class coaches will individualize your training program and lifestyle habits to ensure you achieve your goals safely and effectively.
You do not need to be a member of the gym to do personal training.

JANUARY MEMBER OF THE MONTH - BIANCA ENGELBRECHT 🏃♀️ 🏋🏼 🤸♂️
Every month since she joined we have watched Bianca get stronger, fitter and faster but this month she has truly excelled and we have all noticed… The weights she is now lifting are testament to her hard work and dedication, as is the improvement in her gymnastics and her absolute power on the machines and the running track is incredible.
Bianca did some drop in sessions at Sands when she visited the UAE during the Open in 2022 and she fit in straight away with the community. We loved her ‘No Excuses’ attitude and her naturally supportive nature. She moved to Dubai shortly after that and joined Sands as a member in July! Bianca is now one of the dedicated 6am crew and it’s like she has been with us forever!
Bianca is a cyclist and longer distance runner, but now we can truly say she is a CrossFit Athlete that runs after class and cycles on weekends 😝 . She is an absolute pro at balancing it all and making she can still be give her all across all the disciplines!
Bianca, awesome work this month and every other month too. Keep working hard (and don’t leave us for Abu Dhabi!) 💪💪

BIG WELCOME TO COACH AQEEL! 🙌
Aqeel joined the Sands coaching team this week and what an awesome addition to the team and the community!
Aqeel is undeniably passionate about CrossFit, overall fitness and wellbeing and this is evident from your first conversation with him!
“I have the constant desire to help others in any way, shape or form both in and outside the gym… everyone could do with a little more love in their life! I am always down to have a conversation about anything & everything!”
Let’s get to know Aqeel a bit better, here are some facts about him:
- studied bioscience (anatomy & physiology)
- loves to read (non-fiction)
- listens to classical music
Outside of CrossFit (yes it’s possible 😋), Aqeel enjoys swimming and playing team sports like water polo and cricket. Ahh… this may be the time to get some teams together at Sands for a Northern for Southern Hemisphere cricket tournament. What do you think?
Massive welcome and fist pump to Aqeel when you see him around!
