Editorial Standards & Corrections Policy

GetFitDXB exists to help people in Dubai make confident decisions about where and how to train. That only works if you can trust what we publish. This page explains exactly how our content is produced and held to account. It applies to our blog, guides, gym and trainer listings, and comparison pages.

Who writes our content

Every article carries a visible byline naming the person responsible for it, linking to a full author page with their background, areas of focus and professional profiles. Editorial duties are shared between our two founders:

• Fredrik Filipsson — Founder & Editor
• Morten Andersen — Senior Fitness Editor

We do not publish anonymous content, and we do not use ghost bylines. If a piece is written by a contributor or guest, they are credited by name.

How we research and write

• First-hand where possible. Gym and studio listings are based on real visits, direct enquiries and hands-on observation — not copied from press releases. Where a detail is taken from a third party, we link to the source.
• Primary sources first. Prices, opening hours, class schedules and facilities are verified against the operator's own website or a direct enquiry, and we record the sources we used.
• Claims are cited. Health, nutrition and training claims are attributed to credible, named sources. We avoid absolute promises and "guaranteed results" language.
• No pay-for-placement. Rankings and recommendations are never sold. A business cannot pay to rank higher in a list or review.

How we review and fact-check

Before publishing, content is checked for accuracy, clarity, and compliance with this policy. Listings of facts (price, hours, location, contact) are checked against at least one primary source. Each listing and key guide shows a "Last verified" or "Last updated" date so you can judge how current it is.

Keeping content current

Dubai's fitness scene changes fast — gyms open, close, rebrand and adjust prices. We re-check listings on a rolling basis and update the verification date when we do. If a page is out of date or a business has closed, we update or remove it. Outdated, thin or inaccurate pages are refreshed or retired rather than left to mislead.

Corrections policy

We want to be corrected when we're wrong. If you spot an error — a wrong price, a closed gym, an out-of-date schedule, or a factual mistake in an article — tell us and we'll fix it.

• Email [email protected] or use our contact form.
• Please include the page URL and what's incorrect.
• We aim to review correction requests within five working days.
• Material corrections to published articles are noted with an updated date so the change is transparent.

Affiliate & advertising disclosure

Sponsored or paid content, where it ever appears, is clearly labelled as such and kept separate from our independent editorial recommendations.

Use of AI

We use software tools, including AI assistance, to help with drafting, research organisation and editing. A named human editor is responsible for every published page: reviewing it for accuracy, adding first-hand knowledge, and standing behind it. We do not publish unreviewed, automatically generated content.

Independence & accountability

GetFitDXB is operated by a real, identifiable team in Dubai. You can find our business identity, mission and founders on our About page, and reach a real person via our contact page. We stand behind what we publish.
