Jumeirah Olhahali Island has welcomed Karol Krauser III, a distinguished wellness expert with over 35 years of experience, for an exclusive “Journey of Renewal” residency from 15 November to 18 December 2024. Known as the visionary behind FitwellX and celebrated for his holistic approach to health—which integrates modern sports medicine with traditional mind-body practices—Krauser will offer a refined personal training experience designed to restore and rejuvenate guests in the tranquil surroundings of Olhahali Island.

With a rich global background and deep belief in the mind, body and spirit connection, Krauser has crafted personalised recovery and wellness programmes for clients worldwide—from Thailand to Hawaii, London and beyond. His expertise spans martial arts, therapeutic bodywork, corrective exercise rehabilitation and stress-relief techniques such as Tai Chi and Chi Kung meditation. Each programme is tailored to the guest’s individual health goals and is adaptable for all ages and abilities.

Featured Experiences:

• Martial Movement Therapy: Combining elements of martial arts and functional fitness, these private sessions provide self-defense techniques to enhance total-body strength, focus, and balance while promoting mental clarity and coordination.

• Mindfulness & Meditation: Daily guided practices such as Tai Chi, Chi Kung mediation, and chakra-balancing sessions designed to reduce stress, improve mental resilience, and enhance mindfulness for those seeking mental and emotional rejuvenation.

• Corrective Exercise Rehabilitation: From private medical massage therapies to personalised exercise sessions, guests will work with Krauser to address pain, injury recovery, and structural imbalances and learn techniques to promote healing and improve strength and flexibility.

• Intuitive Bodywork:  60-or 90-minute  private  sessions  to  experience  diverse  healing techniques, from Hawaiian Lomi Lomi to Reiki, for deep relaxation and energetic balance.
