The Bridge Lifestyle Hub, an 8,000-square-metre wellness hub located in Al Qana, the new waterfront destination in Abu Dhabi, opened its doors in December 2021.
This next-generation concept club has been conceived with the aim of transforming people’s lives through a holistic approach to wellness. As an early supporter of a wellness lifestyle, Technogym has made its knowledge and products available to the hub, to ensure guests the best in terms of wellness solutions.

More than simply a fitness destination, The Bridge comprises a spa, a restaurant, a juice bar, a nutrition corner, a concept store, an indoor running track, a rooftop garden, arts and culture spaces, as well as social and learning programmes. These elements are centered around seven specialized offerings, which aim to stimulating and educating the senses: Move, Pause, Taste, Choose, Seek, Expand and Learn.

Move focuses on physical fitness and the active spaces of the hub, such as a semi-Olympic 200-metre indoor running track, as well as an outstanding gym featured with the most advanced fitness equipment, provided by Technogym. Through various types of classes, The Bridge team will help members reach their targeted fitness level with a well-rounded approach.

Pause is a sanctum to recover, a space where people are able to slow down to nurture their whole being. Members can reset their minds, relax their senses and flow together within the regenerating spa or through a selection of classes, including unique fusions of breath-work, yoga, pilates and mindful functional movements.

Taste takes people on a 100% organic culinary experience that offers a selection of signature dishes and beverages, abundant with flavors and nutrition with the body and soul in mind. The two culinary outlets and one beverage zone are spaces for connections, conversations, relaxation and satiation, all of which are at the cutting edge of nutritional science and culinary art.

Choose, the concept store, is everything that is purposeful for the warmth of the whole being - externally and internally, with the ritual of enjoying life's simplest pleasures. The Bridge’s approach is of providing clean, healthy, and most importantly, toxin-free products, in order to guide members to a sustainable and ethical lifestyle through a shift towards mindful possessions.

Seek is all about getting in touch with nature, with the aim of delivering five goals to members: to be Nature-Centric, Urban and Digital Disconnection, Grounding Benefits, Vitamin D Exposure and Experiencing Adventure. In order to ensure that, the wellness hub offers a variety of research-backed outdoors activities, such as Inward, for rejuvenation and reflection with meditation and breathing exercises.

Expand acts as a place to socialize for like-minded individuals through artworks, music, film, books and events, built around different themes. From the larger spaces to the smaller nooks and crannies, The Bridge will add color and motivation to people’s daily routine, by uplifting the in-betweens with captivating moments.

Learn refers to educational spaces created with the goal of fueling members with information that is found through in-depth research processes conducted by the hub and spread through integrates lectures, documentaries and workshops. This track will make gaining knowledge pleasurable, inviting and an active contributor to members’ lifestyle.

The Bridge wants to inspire people living in the capital to embrace a new approach to life while switching out bad habits and reaching their balance. One of the main step of this process is represented by training, an essential source of physical and psychological wellbeing for people.
The wellness hub offers its members the possibility to train with some of the most innovative and high-quality Technogym solutions, such as Artis Line, the range of products that offers the utmost cardio and strength training experience. Its seamless design stands out from the crowd and the new Live console empowers the most exciting training experience: the feeling it delivers is unique in its kind.
