Sweat, soothe, seize the moment: Pullman Maldives Maamutaa gears up for FITWeek 2023
Pullman Maldives Maamutaa has announced its upcoming FITWeek event from 2 October to 8 October. Situated on Maamutaa Island in the Gaafu Alifu Atoll, Pullman Maldives is a haven for anyone seeking a perfect blend of indulgence, experience, and wellness.
FITWeek, one of four annual Pillar Weeks by Pullman, represents the epitome of this philosophy, offering guests a journey of self-discovery, health, and vitality in one of the world’s most breathtaking destinations. FITWeek will reach new heights this year with collaboration of two fitness personas, Allaoua Gaham and Majah Resuello.
As a yoga teacher, self-defence instructor, author, TEDx speaker, and “Yogipreneur” with numerous accolades, Allaoua Gaham is not your average fitness coach. He brings his unique blend of mindful yoga and army drill sergeant discipline with a raw sense of spirit and a wealth of experience to his teachings. His mission is clear: to inspire conscious changes in others and help them live better lives through improved breathing, and as a by-product — navigating through their lives more mindfully.
“Breathing is the most important of all human functions,” says Allaoua. “If we stop breathing, we die. If we breathe better, we live better.”
During FITWeek, Allaoua will lead various workshops, including EQ (Emotional Intelligence) workshops, fitness classes, fear management sessions, and meditation workshops in conjunction with the release of “GURU”, a book he co-authored with Raghda Alazab.
Meanwhile, Majah Resuello, a CrossFit Level 1 Trainer, Certified in Precision Nutrition 1, Social Media Influencer, and Entrepreneur, will infuse her dynamic energy into the FITWeek lineup. Majah, known for engaging content about travel, dance cross-fit, and fitness, will lead exhilarating full-body workouts and host workshops on nutrition and self-discipline, equipping participants with the knowledge and motivation to lead a healthier, disciplined lifestyle.
“Fitness isn’t just about exercise; it’s a way of life,” says Majah.
Pullman Maldives Maamutaa’s FITWeek promises a harmonious blend of wellness, adventure, and relaxation. Guests will be able to experience aerial yoga with breakfast bites, beach workouts in the beautiful Melange beach setting, sunrise social meditation, spa holistic workshops, sunrise fun runs, and stand-up paddleboard marathons. It’s an event that perfectly encapsulates Pullman’s commitment to offering guests the holiday of a lifetime.
