FitNGlam, Dubai was founded to transform the landscape of women’s fitness, representing a new concept to build and champion female minds. The interior spaces are vibrant and zesty with dedicated areas to enjoy all the services from boutique fitness to studio classes, exercise machines and free weights. It’s not all work and no play, as guests are also encouraged to take time to rejuvenate in the luxury spa or refuel in the Active Café by Nolus, with nutritious food options.

Premium lighting manufacturer LEDFlex was specified by award winning lighting designers, Nulty+ to give an extra dimension to the integral architectural details within FitNGlam. The reception desk is cleverly illuminated by Nano Flex 264, one of LEDFlex’s narrowest range of luminaires, concealed in the soffit, elevating the iridescent glow that welcomes visitors into the space. The overhead dark ceiling void which combines the reception area and the merchandise section is broken up with a large modern chandelier, hung in a deconstructed form. These unique details are edge lit using Eco Flex 180, a high efficiency, decorative solution that provides a homogenous light output, highlighting the gold mesh inserts that run alongside the luminaire. This technique is repeated in the weights area with Eco Flex 180 fittings radiating from behind the mirrored walls.

Suspended cove details in the spa are lit using Ultimo Neon Silicone 16, whereas Ultimo Neon Silicone 10 is expertly fitted into the vanity mirrors and joinery details, evenly illuminated with a seamless glow. In the Pilates studio, the lighting is relaxing and functional, where Flexi Grazer Asymmetric is supplied indirectly from discreet cove details. Pumping iron in the weights room, the black ceiling is given dynamism with three suspended hooped tracks in which Ultra Bright HL 120 RGB has been fitted, emitting a warm white light. Whilst the gym area has its own personality with linear lights complementing the wooden louvered ceiling detail. The infinity mirror corridor incorporates Pixel Flex 60 RGBW, seamlessly integrating into the vertical details and programmed to be illuminated in a full range of Pixel controlled colour combinations, giving the space an extra layer of vivacious energy.

The interior design of this women’s fitness super club, combined with thoughtful lighting design helps to foster female empowerment, bringing together a strong community of women motivated by health and wellbeing and the confidence to get fit and glamorous.
