Best Coffee in Town
Top Five Coffee Joints in Dubai!
This is where you would have usually found me pre COVID and where you will find me drinking coffee when all this is over! In no particular order these UAE roasters serve fair trade organic coffee with a smile!
Raw Coffee – One of the more well-known UAE rosters who have stepped up their game recently with their new premises. Great coffee served by people who know what's up, and they also have free sparkling water to go with your coffee, which is a must! If you ever need to go full gas, their cold brew will help you with this!
Nightjar Coffee Rosters – This one trumps all in Alserkal Avenue. Epic Coffee Machines that, with their roasted beans, produce black gold. Their flavored cold brews are refreshing if you fancy mixing it up, otherwise straight long black is the go-to! The outdoor seating a bonus.
Seven Fortunes – This gem is tucked in behind the industrial area of Al Qouz. Another UAE local roster with a friendly and chilled atmosphere and good wifi! It runs education and training, so the Baristas here know what they are talking about, and their coffee proves it!
Neighbors – Located in the heart of Jumeriah on Al Thanya Street, this local roastery has the goods when it comes to the coffee. My go to for a post-surf coffee, and with outdoor seating at the rights times is an excellent place to sit back and enjoy your brew.
Café Rider – This creative concept of good coffee and custom motorbikes is an excellent place to enjoy your brew. Brown leather sofas and custom machines fill the room that sets the relaxed atmosphere to sample their roasted beans served by the dedicated baristas.
Enjoy!

We are going to mix things up a bit this week, varying modalities, time frames and distances designed to push your aerobic capacity.
GYMNASTICS
To kick things off, we will spend some time on Pull-ups and chest-to-bar pull-ups before we move off the rig and onto the floor as we look to break down and develop the Handstand Walk.
HYROX
Working on compromised running this week. Running consistently strong when there is nothing left in your legs is a key skill in Hyrox.
MOBILITY
Improving your overhead mobility will show you how to improve not only flexibility but also stability using a few key exercises that you can do in your own time.
PURE STRENGTH
In Pure Strength this week, we will kick the week off with a mixture of paused and unpaused back squats, followed by some heavy single-leg work. Wednesday sees us continue our progression on the strict press and the stationary dips.

This week in weightlifting we focus on the power snatch and hang power snatch with a series of complexes followed by some EMOM percentage work
