Functional fitness expert, exercise instructor, and wellness programme designer Karol Krauser brings integrative personal training to the Maldives  

Jumeirah Olhahali Island is delighted to welcome 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. 

“We are thrilled to introduce Karol’s wellness expertise to our guests,” says Mohamed Ashraf, General  Manager of Jumeirah Olhahali Island. “We believe his personalised programmes will provide a deeply  enriching journey that leaves our guests feeling refreshed, balanced, and profoundly attuned to both  themselves and the serene environment around them.”

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.  

Nestled in the tranquility of the Maldives, Jumeirah Olhahali Island provides an idyllic setting for the  exclusive “Journey of Renewal” residency. Complementing Krauser’s programmes, guests are  encouraged to take advantage of year-round wellness offerings—from oceanside group fitness classes  to treatments in spa villas with floor-to-ceiling views of vibrant marine life, beachside tennis, rooftop  yoga, and Moonlit Sandbank Massages under a starlit sky.
