You Can Train With Saint Lucia’s First-Ever Gold Medalist At This Luxury Wellness Resort
You’re barefoot on soft grass. The ocean breeze is cool against your skin. And standing in front of you—smiling, calm, powerful—is Julien Alfred, Olympic gold medalist and the fastest woman in the world.
This is WellFit with Julien Alfred, a one-week immersion at BodyHoliday, the iconic wellness resort in Saint Lucia. From October 6–11, 2025, you’re not just going to work out. You’re going to move like an Olympian, think like an Olympian, feel like an Olympian.
Julien will lead daily 90-minute morning sessions with her team of elite athletes—training that mirrors the explosive, precise, high-performance routines that took her to the top of the podium in Paris.
It’s a program that was first announced last year, but now has an official schedule.
And yes, she’s from here. She grew up on this island. She ran on these beaches. She trained on this very property.
“Training—both mentally and physically—has always been a personal passion,” said Alfred, who is also the newest tourism ambassador for the island. “I’m honored to bring my experience back to BodyHoliday, help guide our guests and inspire others on their fitness journey.”
You’ll also sit down with her. On October 8, Julien hosts a mindset lunch, where she’ll break down the psychology behind her training—and how you can apply it to your own life. Two days later, she’ll help you design your personal workout plan. You’ll leave with real tools, custom routines, and maybe—just maybe—a different sense of what your body is capable of.
And then there’s the finale: a private cocktail reception on October 11, held in support of The Julien Alfred Foundation. This is where the community comes together. Where wellness meets legacy. Where you sip something cold under the stars while bidding on Julien’s signed World Championship spikes or previewing jewelry inspired by her Olympic gold.
“BodyHoliday is thrilled to host the WellFit with Julien Alfred program this year,” said Andrew Barnard, CEO of Sunswept Resorts. “We’re proud to welcome back Julien, a cherished part of our BodyHoliday family, to help inspire, educate, and uplift our guests—and give back to the community in a meaningful way.”
This week isn’t just about fitness. It’s about inspiration. About movement with purpose. And about coming home to the body you were always meant to live in.
