TESTIMONIALS
I can't recommend Sands enough!
I was a new starter to CrossFit, I had been in the gym before and wanted to get into CrossFit but was worried it would be very clicky.
This was the only box where I felt welcomed and supported from day one! From the members to the coaches, couldn't say a bad word about this place!
Regardless of age, fitness level or previous CrossFit experience, Sands caters to all abilities and embraces everyone into its community. ......all of the coaches are incredibly knowledgeable. It's great to be trained by fitness professionals who have a real passion for their job.
I have also been doing PT with Coach Fil for a few months to supplement my weekly classes and I'm now much stronger and capable of things that were previously impossible for me. Thank you, Sands!
The coaches will guide you through proper form/techniques and they'll provide "scale down" options for most exercises to start you at the level you're ready for.
In every class I've attended with 10+ people, there were different fitness levels, usually a mix of males/females, different ages from mid-20s to 40s/50s, some fairly new to CrossFit and just getting into shape, and some who've been coming almost daily for months or years.
I've been to several other boxes. Sands stands out among them, with excellent coaches and friendly staff.
The coaches are encouraging, friendly and make it fun every time! The people you meet are of mixed abilities and are all friendly! I leave feeling inspired and strong!
Feeling fitter, stronger and more mobile. My chronic frozen shoulder is loosening up too.
The coaching team are great and everyone is super friendly and encouraging. Joining Sands has been the best decision.
After two years of CrossFit with Sands I was encouraged by Coach Casie to join Coach Fill (kudos to Casie!!!!) for Personal Training to address self taught errors that not only held back further progress but opened me up to potential injury.
Three months later and I wake up pain free yet well conditioned and feeling stronger than before. Coach Fill is a technician and a specialist.
The Sands Fitness community is a place of encouragement, hard work and a lot of humor with dedicated and knowledgeable trainers. Fun and sweat all round and of course inevitable fitness!! Thanks to Cyrus and the gang!
The coaches are knowledgeable and passionate about what they do and are always pushing to take your fitness to the next level. Class booking and workouts of the day are easily checked online through an app.
I tried PT sessions with the knowledgeable and super friendly coach Fil, and was able to see tangible progress. The owner and staff are a delight to deal with and are always available.
I highly recommend Sands Fitness to anybody looking to get an outstanding CrossFit experience, you won’t regret it.

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?
