Founded by Fadi “The Lebanese Tiger” El Khatib, the new Al Quoz destination brings together elevated training facilities, specialist recovery, youth academies and family-focused amenities across a wide-ranging sports and lifestyle offering.
Dubai, UAE – Club 15, a 15,000 sqm sports and lifestyle destination in Al Quoz, officially opens on Friday, 30 October. Bringing together professional-level sporting facilities, specialist recovery, family activities and social spaces, the multi-purpose venue offers far more than a traditional gym.
Founded by Lebanese basketball icon Fadi El Khatib, Club 15 takes inspiration from the number synonymous with his celebrated career and reimagines it as a destination for athletes, families and the wider community. Built around the philosophy Prepare. Perform. Recover. Progress., it brings the infrastructure of professional sport into a setting designed for everyday life.
At its heart is a 5,700 sqm, two-storey gym, alongside seven professional indoor padel courts with 15-metre ceilings, three basketball courts, Reformer Pilates and studios for HIIT, boxing, functional training and yoga. An open-air rooftop gym and courtside lounges offer space to train and unwind.
Recovery is equally central, with a heated 25-metre semi-Olympic pool, ice baths and cold-therapy facilities, a hydrotherapy jacuzzi, infrared sauna, Normatec recovery and a 250 sqm physiotherapy clinic.
Designed for all ages, Club 15 also features a dedicated Kids Area and daycare, gymnastics and parkour, youth basketball and padel academies, and a gaming lounge. An in-house café, premium lounges, podcast studio and digital platform for bookings, loyalty and events round out the experience, with partners including adidas, Red Bull and Joe & The Juice.
For El Khatib, the vision is rooted in his own lifelong relationship with sport and his perspective as a father, with the next generation central to the club’s purpose.
“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. 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, child and family can be part of. The academies are an important part of that vision, giving the next generation a place to discover their potential, develop their skills and build their own relationship with sport.”
— Fadi El Khatib, Founder, Club 15
