Pillar Of Health: Take Back Control of Your Wellbeing With Innovative New Offerings at Fairmont Doha
With its focus on luxury and selfcare, Fairmont Doha is the ideal destination for Pillar Wellbeing, an innovative health club for those looking to make a transformative and tangible difference to their health and wellness
Led by co-founder and internationally renowned fitness guru Harry Jameson, the Pillar methodology is centred around three fundamental pillars: movement, nutrition, and recovery. Harry’s background as a trainer and consultant to some of the world’s most prominent public figures and business leaders translates into an acute understanding of the demands of contemporary high-performing individuals, and a desire to empower them to live better, happier, and healthier lives.
“What if you applied how you’d treat a league-level athlete to a business man or woman, someone that also has to perform under stress and pressure, someone that needs to be mentally, physically and emotionally sharp”, Harry tells Bazaar of the premise behind Pillar. “That includes a focus on everything from how you sleep, to nutrition, performance, gut health, and stress management.”
That comprehensive approach to wellness finds synergy with Fairmont Doha’s state-of-the-art spa and gym. With Gold and Platinum Pillar Membership, guests can immerse themselves in the Pillar way of life — from expert performance coaches and wellbeing assessments, to access to private studios, exercise facilities, spinning and movement classes, a 25-meter temperature-controlled indoor swimming pool, and Pillar kitchen to aid nutrition. In recognition of the busy lives of members, Platinum members also gain access to the Fairmont Gold lounge so that they can take a Zoom in privacy, relax, and meet like-minded guests.
Having Pillar experts available on-site, as well as an app that records and facilitates progress, helps members achieve their goals and navigate the fitness areas. “The analogy we use at Pillar is that if you’ve built the best kitchen in the world and haven’t employed a chef, how are you expecting good dishes to come out of it? We believe in the value of trainers, physios, nutritionists, and in guiding our members every step of the way. That’s a philosophy that is also upheld here at Fairmont Doha making the hotel an ideal partner for us.”
Ultimately, that philosophy manifests itself in better, more productive training, and a clearer vision. “There are people who come to us who have prioritized their careers over their wellness,” says Harry, “and the fact that Pillar offers such a comprehensive take on wellness saves them time. People have sacrificed health for wealth, and reach the age of 45 or 50 with cash in the bank but chronic back pain, or poor sleep practices, depressed, overweight or lacking in confidence. That’s a heavy price to pay. Now you can do something about it and enjoy it in the process. After all, Pillar is really an international social and wellbeing member’s club for health-conscious people.”
