For those seeking moments of grounding, connection, and calm, Villa BOOST opens its doors in Al Safa, Jumeirah as a community-driven wellness destination designed to help people slow down, reconnect with their bodies, and return to mindful movement.

Founded by entrepreneur and wellness advocate Rania Zorkot alongside partner and brand ambassador Christelle Fourzali, Villa BOOST blends reformer and Lagree-inspired training with recovery-focused experiences and lifestyle-led wellness within an intimate villa setting designed to feel more like a home than a traditional studio.

More than simply a movement and recovery space, Villa BOOST positions itself as a modern “third space”, somewhere guests can train, recover, connect, and spend time throughout the day.

The concept builds on Rania’s long-standing philosophy around movement as both physical and mental grounding. More than a decade ago, she introduced Reformer Pilates to Abidjan through her first concept, FORM, cultivating a loyal community through results-driven training and a deeply personal approach to wellness.

That journey later evolved into the BOOST method, a balanced fusion of Pilates, Lagree, strength, and recovery designed around intelligent movement and sustainable wellbeing. Following the success of BOOST City Walk, which opened in Dubai in 2022, Villa BOOST expands the concept through a more immersive lifestyle experience shaped equally by community and mindful living.

The villa offers a curated mix of Reformer Pilates, Megaformer and Microformer sessions, infrared heated workouts, Cadillac Pilates, sculpt and conditioning classes, mobility training, assisted stretching, red light therapy, and Brazilian lymphatic massage in partnership with Lymph & Flow.

Beyond movement, guests can also experience TEASE, the villa’s wellness café serving functional smoothies and nutrient-rich drinks, alongside The Sweatshop, a retail concept featuring carefully selected international activewear and athleisure brands.
