HEALTH CLUBS :
All live-star and most mid-range hotels have health clubs, which are free for guests. The facilities of the larger places include a gym, sauna, swimming pool, squash courts and tennis courts. Generally if you are not a guest you must be a member or a member's guest to use the facilities. A few do accept day visitors. If you decide to use one of the hotel beach clubs for the day you will enjoy access to their gym facilities as well. All clubs listed here have treadmills, bikes, step and rowing machines, free weights and resistance machines as well as massage, sauna and steam room. Some good clubs to try are Fitness Planet Al-Hana Centre, Satwa; Griffins Health Club (JW Marriott Hotel; admission Sat-Wed Thu-Fri ), Inter-Fitness (Intercontinental Dubai; admission Sat-Wed Dh50, Thu-Fri) and Nautilus Academy (Al-Mussalla Towers, Bur Dubai; admission ).

MASSAGE & DAY SPAS :
While you can book a massage at all of the health clubs listed earlier, for the luxurious full day-spa treatment visit one of the spas listed below. Most Dubaians like to look good and it's no surprise that regular trips to the spa are circled on many a Dubaian's calendar.
