While Privilee was launched in Dubai in 2015, the lifestyle membership app is having a moment right now – and if you haven’t transformed the way you pick a pool day or burn off calories yet, then now’s the time to make a change.
If there’s one thing we know for sure, it’s that routine can become boring – variety is the spice of life, after all.
And that definitely applies to our workout routines. Going nowhere on the treadmill may get our heart rate up but it’s doing zilch for captivating our interest or imagination.
Which is why we’re fans of the growing trend to sign up to one app or membership program (one fee and one password to remember, rejoice!) that widens our options and horizons rather than limits them.
Pool days at Atlantis are included with Privilee
The latest one to win us over? Privilee. The lifestyle app gives members access to a wide range of free or discounted fitness classes, access to gyms, pool and beach days, spa treatments and sports activities such as tennis courts and golf courses. Discounts on food and drink at bars and restaurants all over the region are just a tap away, too.
After trying out the app in the Dubai Marina area, here’s an example of a weekend can be made better with the help of Privilee.
Westin, Dubai Marina
Thursday Unwind
What’s better than clocking off from work and meeting your closest pals at a nearby bar?
Log in to the app, and find discounts at venues such as Shades Pool Bar in Address Marina or Ginter in InterContineal Dubai Marina, saving up to 40 per cent from the total bill.
Friday Funday
Now, this is what the weekend is all about. Treat yourself to a trip to the pool, followed up with a spa treatment and a delicious meal out.
Head to the Westin Dubai for example, and enjoy free access to the pool and beach, 25 per cent discount at the Heavenly Spa and 25 per cent discounts in the hotel’s eateries such as Bussola, El Sur, Fish Beach Tavern, Asia De Cuba and more.
TribeFit, Dubai Marina
Saturday Shape Up
After all that indulging and lazing around the previous two days, a Saturday shape up is surely in order.
Before the midday heat, spend the morning flexing your squash skills at Habtoor Grand’s courts for a one-hour complimentary session. Got little ones? Let them run around at the Junior Jungle Kids’ Club, free for children age 4 – 12 with Privilee, while you’re there, too.
Finally, work up a sweat thank to the access to so many gyms with the app. With such a wide variety of classes to chose from, TribeFit along the marina is a good bet; finish your weekend with a relaxing Power Flow Yoga session at 6pm.
A weekend well (not over!) spent.
