If you’ve been looking for a Pilates class in Doha that feels less like a gym and more like a moment, this one is for you.
Old Doha Port and Fit Island are launching Pilates in the Aquarium, a ladies-only weekly class set inside the aquarium at City Gallery, starting Friday, June 6.
What to expect from Pilates in the Aquarium
The sessions are designed as a one-of-a-kind wellness experience, blending mindful movement with the calm, immersive setting of the Old Doha Port aquarium. Think slow stretches, controlled breathing, and a wall of fish gliding past you while you flow through your practice.
It is open to women only, making it a comfortable space for ladies in Doha looking for a private, peaceful workout away from mixed gyms.

Why this matters for Doha’s wellness scene
Old Doha Port has been steadily building its profile as a lifestyle and cultural destination, and this collaboration with Fit Island adds another reason to visit. Ladies-only fitness offerings are still limited in Doha, especially in scenic, non-gym settings, which makes this launch worth bookmarking.
For residents and expats searching for something different from the usual studio class, a Pilates session surrounded by marine life inside one of Doha’s most photographed venues is about as unique as it gets.
