Paus Introduces Core and Rise: Two New Memberships Designated to Help People Live Life Better
We have never invested more in wellness: the classes, the equipment, the routines, and yet so many of us still feel disconnected from ourselves and from each other. Paus, Dubai's homegrown wellbeing community, was founded to address that tension, and today announces the launch of CORE and RISE, two new memberships built around a simple mission: helping people live life better, guided through Love, Health, Work and Play.
These four interconnected pillars form the Paus Code, the philosophy that shapes everything at Paus. Love recognises that we are not meant to do life alone; Health is about how we feel, not simply how we perform; Work looks beyond being busy towards feeling fulfilled; and Play makes space for something often forgotten in conversations around wellbeing: joy.
Paus is deliberate about that promise: not a better life, but the life you have, lived better. So rather than a package of sessions to be counted, membership is designed to be a sense of belonging that is felt: a private members’ space to work, rest and connect in, a calendar of exclusive experiences reserved for members, and an accredited Paus Coach to guide each member on their own journey – alongside the freedom to move, recover and play across the club.
CORE, priced at AED 2,500 per month, is designed for those beginning their Paus journey. Members enjoy access to the members-only lounge, two exclusive member events each month and unlimited community access, with a private coaching session and Paus Code check-in every six months to help them find their rhythm. An AED 1,200 monthly wallet can be spent freely across movement, spa and padel, with member discounts across Paus and The Eatery.
RISE, priced at AED 3,750 per month, is designed for those seeking more consistent support. It builds on everything in CORE with monthly life coaching from an accredited Paus Coach and an AED 1,600 monthly wallet for movement, spa and padel.
Commenting on the new memberships, Sophiya Faizal, Founder of Paus, said: “Our mission at Paus has always been to help people live life better. For us, that means looking beyond wellness as something you do for an hour each day and thinking about life: how we connect, how we feel, how we work and whether we’re making enough room to play and enjoy ourselves.”
She continued, “Paus was created as a place where the different parts of life can coexist. Somewhere to move and recover, but also to eat, talk, think, work, play or spend time alone; a place that feels less like a traditional wellness destination and more like a home with room to breathe – warm, open and grounded in a sense of community. Through these memberships, our aim is to give our members the support, routine and community to find what living better looks like for them, in a way that feels natural and sustainable.”
Central to both CORE and RISE is a year-round programme of private members' events, designed to bring the Paus Code to life beyond the everyday experience of the club. Spanning art, culture, food, movement and shared experiences, the programme will range from chef-led evenings exploring the culture and heritage behind food, to private museum and gallery visits, book clubs with authors, mountain hikes and afternoons in the desert for members and their families.
Both memberships have been shaped by insights from The State of Being, Paus' inaugural Annual Wellness Report, due to be released soon, which explores how people across the UAE experience wellbeing today. Its findings point to a familiar tension: people are highly capable of navigating busy, demanding lives, but the habits that keep everything moving do not always leave enough room for connection, rest, spontaneity and joy. CORE and RISE were designed as an answer – helping members build routines that support the whole of their lives, in a place made for exactly that.
