Boost Studio
Meet our co-founders and the boost team who bring you years of fitness experience, a holistic approach and signature workout methods.
After years of working in the corporate world, Rania decided it was time for a change. At the height of her search for a venture that appealed to her soul, a phone call from a friend led Rania to her first ever Reformer Pilates class and she has never looked back. A certification in both Barre body Pilates & Lagree, and a love of combining workouts for maximum impact resulted in FORM, her two successful studios in her hometown, Abidjan; specially known for it Signature Reformer class, a dynamic workout pilates Inspired developed within all these years..
A simple holiday in Dubai, made Rania fall in love with the city’s fast pace, multicultural aspects, and blossoming wellness scene, making it the perfect spot for her next venture.
Here she met Kareen Jaber whose story was in parallel with her own. Hailing from a business background, fitness had always been Kareen’s escape from the buzzing rush of real estate finance. Eventually, her passion led to her opening her own Monday Fitness Studio in Beirut, pursuing holistic health coaching and Lagree Training certificates. As her clients’ lifestyles improved through supplement programming, movement, nutrition, and adopting a holistic state of mind, her passion for the industry continued to grow.
Realising their joint passion for a holistic approach, their love of positive energy, motivation, and helping others improve, their decision to open a studio together was an obvious one. Resulting in the birth of Boost – an all-inclusive wellness and movement space where Pilates and Lagree meet on state-of-the-art Evo machines.
Earthy, calming interiors and a healthy snack corner in partnership with the likes of Wild & the Moon, will be complemented by the Megaformer, which will feature heavily in the workouts offered by the studio.
” Boost will offer a signature workout based on the MOFO Method – a combination of Lagree Fitness & Pilates Fundamentals. Through slow controlled movements and multiple muscle group activation, expect a high intensity yet low impact workout that targets your core, muscular strength, endurance, breathing and alignment. Emphasis will also be placed on the importance of stretching with an ‘Assisted One on One Stretch’ session, where trained flexologists will help you improve your posture, flexibility, athletic performance and range of motion in turn helping to reduce pain, stiff joints and prevent injuries.
