From snow to desert, ABBIE MACEY’S passion for personal betterment – yours as well as hers – knows no bounds.The former Team GB alpine skier is the bubbly Fitness Operations Manager at ‘The Country Club’, a stunning new wellness facility just opened at The Els Club, Dubai.
Boasting an urban-chic gym, restaurant and two swimming pools, one with a children’s play area and the other with a swim up bar operated by The Pangolin, the Country Club is unlike any facility in Middle East golf. It’s a beacon for amateurs young and old serious about improving their game and reducing the risk of injury. And the best bit? Your non-golfing partner is welcome to reap the benefits with membership to The Country Club affording access to the new expansion including the gym and pools.
“I saw this an incredible opportunity to work for a world-renowned golf club that is managed by the leaders of golf club management, Troon International,” said Macey.
“I see a very bright future for both The Els Club and Troon International in the fitness industry.”
