Women Who Train: Fuel Your Workouts 2026

Women Who Train: Fuel Your Workouts is a women-only nutrition session in Dubai on Sunday 22 November 2026, from 11am to 1pm at Grazer. Instead of a class, the Women Who Thrive fitness strand sits down for a food conversation: nutritionist Toni joins Grazer and generation.h to talk through how to eat for training, from what to have before a session to what helps recovery afterwards.

The questions this talk is built around

The session is aimed squarely at women who train regularly but are not sure their eating keeps up. The topics on the table include:

• what to eat before a workout so you have energy without feeling heavy
• what helps recovery after training
• how much protein you need and where to get it
• snacks that work around classes and busy days
• timing meals around early morning or evening sessions
• how to stop running on coffee and good intentions

The format is relaxed and practical, with time set aside for questions, so it is worth arriving with your own: the specific breakfast you skip before spin, the afternoon slump before an evening Pilates class or the snack that never quite fills you up.

Who is speaking

Toni, a nutritionist, leads the talk. She is joined by Grazer, the host venue, and generation.h, which partner on the session. Bringing a nutritionist into a restaurant setting keeps the conversation grounded in real food rather than supplement charts, and the aim is to leave with simple ideas you can use in the same week. The emphasis is on everyday choices, such as what to keep in your gym bag or order before a class, rather than on rigid rules or calorie counting.

Why a nutrition session sits under Women Who Train

Women Who Thrive organises its monthly programme in pillars, and nutrition is woven through the whole calendar rather than kept separate. Women Who Train, the fitness pillar, has spent November on the move, with aerial silks in Dubai Marina, step dancing with Leti and, later in the month, reformer Pilates with contrast therapy and a bounce trampoline class. Fuel Your Workouts is the session that ties those together, asking how members can support all that training with what they eat.

Make a day of it

The same Sunday has a second Women Who Thrive event. From 5pm to 7pm, Sara from Home To Breath leads a guided breathwork session at Johny Dar Experience, the community’s mental wellbeing session for the month. Members who book both get a morning focused on food and an evening focused on rest and stress release.

About Women Who Thrive

Women Who Thrive is a women-led community founded in Dubai by Sue and Achasah, running for around five years. It brings together women from all walks of life through monthly events covering fitness, money, creativity, self-care, connection and career, and has been featured by Time Out Dubai and Savoir Flair. Members stay in touch between events through the Thrivers app, which also carries offers from partner brands.

Who should go

• women training several times a week who feel tired or under-fuelled
• beginners building a new routine during the Dubai Fitness Challenge month
• busy professionals who rely on coffee and grab-and-go snacks
• anyone who prefers a conversation with a nutritionist to a strict meal plan

How to book
