Dubai is set to welcome Club 15, a new 15,000 sqm sports and lifestyle destination opening in Al Quoz this October. Conceived as a sports city within the city, Club 15 brings professional-level sport, training, recovery, wellness, family activities, hospitality and social spaces together under one roof.
Marking a new era for sports and lifestyle destinations in Dubai, Club 15 extends beyond the traditional workout to encompass how people train, recover, connect, eat, work and spend time with their families.
Across 15,000 sqm, the destination brings together a two-floor gym and rooftop training, professional basketball and padel courts, a 25-metre semi-Olympic swimming pool, Reformer Pilates and studio training, and an extensive recovery and wellness offering, alongside parkour, gymnastics, youth academies, a dedicated kids area and gaming lounge.
The destination spans two levels, each finished to the same exacting standard: extensive strength and cardio facilities, Reformer Pilates, multifunctional training for HIIT, boxing and functional training, and yoga, alongside an open-air rooftop training experience with sweeping views over Al Quoz.
Seven professional indoor padel courts, with soaring 15-m ceilings, are complemented by premium courtside lounges and integrated player services, it stated.
Basketball sits at the heart of the Club 15 identity, with full-size indoor courts built to international standards to host academies, leagues, youth development and signature events.
Built around performance but designed for all ages, Club 15 brings every part of the experience together in one destination, it added.
Founded by Lebanese basketball legend Fadi El Khatib, Club 15 takes its name from the number synonymous with his professional career and now worn by his sons, who are professional players themselves.
His sporting legacy forms the foundation of a destination built around performance, community and the next generation. Completing the experience, Adidas, Red Bull and Joe & The Juice form part of the Club 15 ecosystem, bringing together performance, energy and refueling within one connected destination.
For Fadi, Club 15 is personal. The number 15 carried him through a lifetime in professional basketball - now it becomes the foundation for a new standard in sport.
"I didn't want to build another gym. I wanted to build a home for sport - somewhere you can train, compete, recover, bring your children, meet people, have a coffee, and feel you belong to something," he stated.
"Fifteen was never just a jersey number to me, and now, with my boys carrying it professionally too, I want it to represent a standard every athlete, every child and every family who walks through our doors can be part of," he added.
At Club 15, performance goes beyond the workout. Preparing, performing, and training, to recovering, progressing, refuelling and connecting . A place to belong.
"It is shaped around a full day, not a single workout. Members can arrive to train, move into recovery, refuel, meet friends, work, attend an event or simply spend time in the space - while children have their own activities just steps away. It is a club designed around the reality of modern life: different generations, different routines and different reasons for being there, all happening under one roof," explained the Lebanese basketball legend.
"Prepare. Perform. Recover. Progress. That is the shape of a day at Club 15, designed to be repeated," he added.
