Champs Sports and Fitness Club Festival Plaza

Champs Sports and Fitness Club is a large gym and fitness club on the first floor of Dubai Festival Plaza, the mall next to the Lulu hypermarket at the Jebel Ali Village end of Sheikh Zayed Road. Padel is a side offer here rather than the main event: the club is built around its gym floor, HYROX area, reformer Pilates studio, sauna and ice bath, and the padel court is booked separately through Playtomic. One member review notes that membership covers all facilities except padel, which is charged on top. Playtomic lists 1 indoor padel court, so this is a one-court setup inside the club - good for avoiding the heat, but you won't find a busy social scene or multiple courts for group events. Opening hours follow the club: 06:00-23:00 Monday to Friday and 08:00-22:00 on Saturday and Sunday. Court prices are not published in the sources we checked. Google gives the club 4.0 from 114 reviews, but these are almost all about the gym. People praise the equipment, the cleanliness and individual trainers, while complaints focus on sales staff giving inconsistent information about memberships, a cancelled class nobody was told about and a heavy-handed manager. Mall parking is plentiful (one Google pin is literally the Champs parking area), and the club has changing rooms and showers.
