Through the Dragonpass app, users can now access a curated portfolio of gyms, fitness and wellness classes across the GCC — and thousands more worldwide — including yoga, Pilates, CrossFit, HIIT, boxing, and mindfulness. BODDY connects travelers to 150+ premium fitness clubs across the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Bahrain, making wellness more accessible and part of everyday life. With over 1,000 weekly group classes, travelers can stay on track wherever they go. As BODDY continues to expand across the region, new club partnerships will add even more variety and local flavor to the Dragonpass community, turning wellness on the move into a lifestyle without limits.
This launch comes as wellness takes center stage in travel planning. The global wellness economy is projected to reach $9 trillion by 2028, with wellness tourism alone expected to grow over 10% annually. Meanwhile, 85% of consumers say physical and mental health are “very or extremely important,” reflecting a growing demand for travel that supports wellbeing.
Dragonpass and BODDY are redefining how travelers integrate wellness into their routines. Whether staying active on a business trip or unwinding during a layover, users can book group fitness classes, access full-service gyms, and connect with personal trainers, all directly through the Dragonpass app. With flexible scheduling, instant booking, and keyless digital check-in, the experience is fully tailored to life on the move.
“At Dragonpass, we believe wellness should be a natural part of the travel experience,” said Andrew Harrison-Chinn, Chief Marketing Officer at Dragonpass. “Through our partnership with BODDY, we’re enabling travelers across the GCC to prioritize their health without compromising convenience or flexibility.”
“Wellness should travel with you. Whether you’re landing in Dubai, Riyadh, or Doha, travelers can now book a class, access a gym, feel like a local, and keep up with a healthy lifestyle,” said Hannes Boller, Chief Executive Officer of BODDY. “This partnership turns Dragonpass into a seamless gateway to one of the world’s fastest-growing wellness networks.”
This new offering was built to meet the changing expectations of modern travelers. According to recent studies, 54% of travelers say their fitness routines are disrupted by lack of access, 83% consider proximity to wellness facilities important when planning a trip, and 78% actively include fitness and wellness experiences in their travel plans. The partnership bridges this gap — making wellness more accessible, consistent, and effortless, wherever you are.
The wellness feature is now live across the GCC, Europe, North America and Asia, with further expansion planned in the near future. It marks a major step in Dragonpass’s mission to elevate the travel experience, one wellness session at a time.
