Taking place across the DIFC destination’s collection of fitness studios, restaurants and lifestyle spaces, the week-long initiative brings together some of the city’s leading wellness brands for seven days of movement, mindful living and community-focused experiences.
This year’s programme includes everything from fitness classes and health testing to fresh produce pop-ups and wellness-focused food collaborations. Throughout the week, visitors can stop by The Summer Garden for a daily Pure Harvest pop-up featuring fresh produce, strawberry slushies and chia seed cups topped with berries.
Fitness enthusiasts can also take advantage of a collaboration between Embody Fitness, WHOOP and Unilabs, which introduces advanced blood biomarker testing designed to provide personalised insights into health, recovery and performance. The service will be available throughout the week for Embody Fitness members through the WHOOP Advanced Labs platform.
Food and wellness intersect through a special collaboration between Encounter Coffee and LOAM, the Finland-born functional mushroom wellness brand. Exclusive menu items featuring organic mushroom powders and wellness blends will be available throughout Wellness Week, offering visitors a chance to explore one of the wellness industry’s fastest-growing trends.
Alongside the activations, participating fitness destinations including Reform Athletica and 1Rebel will offer complimentary classes that can be booked directly through the respective studios.
While activities will take place across venues including Embody Fitness, Reform Athletica, 1Rebel, Skin Laundry, The Guild, Y12 and La Niña during the week, the main attraction arrives over the weekend when The Summer Garden transforms into a full-scale wellness festival.
Taking place on June 13 and 14, the two-day community event will bring together fitness classes, recovery treatments, workshops, healthy food concepts and local wellness brands in one space.
The movement programme includes spinning sessions by 1Rebel, bootcamps led by Embody Fitness, Pilates classes and sound meditation sessions by Reform Athletica. Visitors can also participate in 9D breathwork sessions hosted by Arsalan Alhashimi.
For those focused on recovery, the festival will feature sports massages by Fisio, head massages by Y12, longevity-focused activations and wellness challenges presented by Endorphins.
Beyond fitness, the event also embraces creativity through a series of hands-on workshops. Guests can try their hand at matcha candle making, ceramic and canvas painting, or learn the traditional Palestinian embroidery art of Tatreez.
Food and drink offerings will include matcha creations by Lulu and the Beanstalk, alongside healthy sandwiches, smoothies, protein snacks and nourishing bowls designed to keep energy levels high throughout the day.
A curated wellness market featuring brands including Health Nag, Halapop, Pure Harvest, Ikasu and Yalla Yum will round out the experience, accompanied by live DJ entertainment and prize giveaways.
With more than 100 events hosted annually, ICD Brookfield Place has become one of Dubai’s most active community hubs.
