What does it look like when two women decide that "good enough" simply isn't good enough? For Paloma and Sirine, the co-founders of Soul Mvnt, it meant leaving behind successful careers in luxury fashion and strategy consulting to build something Dubai had never quite seen before: a studio where the music moves you, the design speaks to you, and the community holds you. Tucked into the creative hub of d3, Soul Mvnt is redefining what a fitness studio can be. It's part training ground, part sanctuary, part social space and entirely intentional. From the Lagree Mega Pro machines to the marble DJ booth, from the Korean Recovery sessions to the post-class wellness bar, every detail has been considered with one question in mind: how do we make people feel something? We sat down with both founders to talk about building a lifestyle brand from the ground up, the power of contrast in wellness, and why slowing down might just be the most radical thing you can do for your body.

In a city that runs at full speed, time is the one thing nobody has enough of. Early mornings packed with meetings, evenings swallowed by social commitments, and somewhere in between, the persistent guilt of a gym session that just didn't happen. For Dubai's community of high-performers, the traditional fitness model, built around hour-long classes and packed weights rooms, is starting to feel increasingly incompatible with real life. Enter EMS. Electrical Muscle Stimulation has been quietly revolutionising the way people train, and the team behind Vibe Fitness EMS are bringing it to the heart of Dubai with a bold promise: twenty minutes, up to 98% muscle activation, and results that rival a ninety-minute session in a conventional gym. We sat down with the founders to understand the science, the technology, and the vision behind one of the UAE's most talked-about fitness concepts, and to find out whether the future of working out might just be a matter of minutes.

Balance, for most people, is something they chase. For Hessa, it's something she schedules. An endurance runner, competitive equestrian, MBA graduate, and full-time professional, she has built a life that leaves very little to chance and everything to commitment. In this conversation, she opens up about early mornings, recovery rituals, breaking barriers as an Emirati woman in sport, and why her ultimate goal is an Olympic starting line.
True boutique wellness is rarely found in the pursuit of “more”, rather, it is found in the discovery of balance. At EQUI, this balance is treated as a clinical science. By blending Time Under Tension with the proprietary Megacore method, EQUI challenges the "more is more" culture of Dubai’s fitness scene, replacing it with a focus on nervous system intelligence and structural longevity. Here, the environment is as much a performance tool as the machine itself. While traditional spaces rely on artificial stimulation, EQUI’s "Functional Sanctuary" utilizes clean lines and negative space to lower cognitive load, allowing the mind to achieve a "Flow State" under the unique, sustained tension of the Megacore machine. We explore the philosophy of Equilibrium and why the future of boutique movement lies in the delicate harmony between high-intensity effort and architectural restraint.
As Dubai hosts the world-class Premier Padel P1 tournament this week, the city has once again become the heartbeat of the region’s booming padel scene. Among the global stars stepping onto the court, Fares Al Janahi stands out, not just as the UAE’s top player, but as a symbol of how far the sport has come locally. Once a promising tennis athlete, Al Janahi transitioned into padel with a vision that’s now materializing on home soil. Competing alongside elite international players, he represents a new generation of Emirati athletes balancing high-performance training with a focus on recovery, mental clarity, and longevity. As Premier Padel P1 unfolds in Dubai, Al Janahi’s journey mirrors the momentum of the sport itself - a dynamic, disciplined, and driven by wellness as much as competition.
In a world that glorifies speed but rarely masters it, Karim Hany Rashed stands as an exception - a man who turns momentum into art. At just 27, he bridges two high-performance worlds: the boardrooms of real estate and the drifting circuits of the Middle East. Yet behind the precision of his turns and the power of his engines lies a quieter philosophy - one built on balance, wellness, and sustainable performance. For Karim, success is not a sprint but a finely tuned machine: disciplined, deliberate, and deeply human. In this conversation, he shares how mindfulness, physical resilience, and innovation intersect at every corner - on the track, in business, and within the mind.
