Riyadh is about to take your fitness routine to a whole new level. GymNation Middle East has launched what might just be the most epic fitness class in the world: at 650+ meters above the city in a hot-air balloon. Every Saturday this January, you can join a workout that gives you more than just a good burn. You’ll be sweating it out with a jaw-dropping view of Riyadh’s skyline.
The experience starts with a warm-up on the ground before you take off, and then it’s 30 minutes of full-body strength and conditioning. Get ready for Cloud Crushers (squats), Overhead Ascent (Overhead Press), Altitude Lunges (Lunges) and Wing Spans (Lateral Raises), all while floating above the city.
According to some scientists, with less oxygen at higher elevations, your body works harder, helping you burn up to 15% more calories and improve muscle recovery. So, this class isn’t just about the incredible views.
Spaces for this epic hot air balloon fitness experience are limited, so if you’re up for a fitness challenge like no other, this is your chance! Would you dare to elevate your fitness game?
And if you love a challenge but prefer the ground beneath your feet, check out all the details about upcoming Riyadh Marathon 2026.
