Redefining Luxury and Elegance in Saudi Arabia
La Barre: Where Fitness Meets Elegance
A New Concept of Well-being
In a world where there is increasing interest in well-being and physical and mental health, Loujain Al Sheddi stands out as a living example of how to combine fitness with elegance. Through her establishment of “La Barre”, the first semi-private Pilates studio in the Kingdom, Loujain was able to present a new concept of well-being that combines inner strength and outer beauty.
A Personal Philosophy
Loujain’s upbringing in a country outside the Kingdom influenced her discovery of a variety of sporting activities, and through it she was first introduced to Pilates 14 years ago. "Pilates radically changed the way I felt about my body, and I became passionate about its positive impact on my movement and lifestyle. From this standpoint, I wanted to bring this experience to my homeland."
Elegance in Movement
Loujain’s vision was clear: to create a place where women can experience a type of exercise that not only changes the way they move, but also increases their sense of confidence and strengthens their connection to themselves. "At La Barre, we consider Pilates a complete experience. It is not only about building strength, but also about creating balance and flow in the body. Each training session is thoughtfully designed and focused on helping women feel their best."
The Studio’s Approach
La Barre is known for its custom-designed marble "Dumbbells" hand weights, a great example of the merging of fitness and art. "Marble Hand Weights are designed to embody the idea that fitness tools can be as beautiful as they are functional, each piece hand-carved from a single block of marble, making it not just an exercise tool, but a piece of art to add to your home."
The KAFD Branch
The studio’s branch at KAFD is a unique space for relaxation and self-care, designed to provide a tranquil environment for women to unwind and rejuvenate. "The KAFD branch of La Barre aims to provide a unique space for relaxation and self-care."
A Healthy Lifestyle
In her opinion, the essential elements for creating a healthy lifestyle in our fast-paced world are making health a priority without complexity, finding balance, and choosing movements that improve the quality of daily life. "Pilates is a great example because it strengthens the body, improves posture, and helps with everyday movements—all in an effective, non-stressful way."
Conclusion
La Barre’s philosophy is built on the importance of details, attention to personal needs, and a commitment to creating a unique experience that enhances a woman’s life in a healthy and elegant way. By combining Pilates with art, luxury, and self-care, La Barre aims to inspire elegance not only in movement, but in the broader way the generation lives today.
