The Lab Studios, Dubai’s ultimate destination for fitness and community, has marked a major milestone—its first anniversary. Over the past year, The Lab has become a home for fitness enthusiasts, athletes, and everyday people who seek to push their boundaries and transform themselves. To celebrate, The Lab hosted an exciting birthday event on Sept 14th that united its vibrant community in a morning filled with energy, gratitude, and, of course, plenty of sweat.
The celebration, held at The Lab Studios, featured a packed schedule including high-energy workout sessions, community giveaways from Adidas and OPA, and brand activations by Health Nag and Hyperice. True to The Lab's ethos, the event was about more than fitness—it was a celebration of community, strength, and the bonds that have been forged over the past year.
“From the very beginning, our goal was to create a space that’s about more than just fitness. It’s about connection and being part of something bigger,” said Chris Vahanian, Co-Founder of The Lab Studios. “It’s amazing to reflect on how far we’ve come in just one year, and we’re excited for the journey ahead.”
Jay Christie, Co-Founder of The Lab Studios, echoed these sentiments, adding: “This past year has been all about growth—within the studio and the community we’ve built. Our clients have embraced everything The Lab stands for, and this celebration is a testament to that energy and spirit.”
A Year of Growth and Innovation
Since opening its doors, The Lab has continuously evolved, offering a range of dynamic classes, from high-intensity SWEAT sessions to its signature transformation program, "The Formula." This commitment to innovation is clear, with new partnerships like Adidas and exciting updates to the studio, including the expansion of the dedicated SWEAT LAB and the launch of the SCULPT Reformer Pilates space.
“We’ve built something truly special,” said Vahanian. “It’s not just about fitness, but about creating a place where people connect, work on their goals, and have fun. This is just the beginning.”
Looking Ahead
As The Lab Studios steps into its second year, the focus remains on enhancing the member experience. With more exclusive programs, events, and collaborations planned, and a second location on the horizon, The Lab is set to continue pushing boundaries and raising the bar for the Dubai fitness community.
