W Hotels has expanded its wellness programming with a refreshed lineup of FUEL weekends, enlisting top fitness experts to lead curated workout and lifestyle sessions.
The 2018 FUEL season launches at W Punta de Mita from May 25–28 with a concentrated three-day, three-night program designed to blend purposeful training with relaxation and local culture. Guests can choose from a variety of classes and activities tailored to different fitness levels and interests, including yoga, boxing, surfing and high-intensity interval training (HIIT). Renowned trainers and wellness leaders such as Jason Wimberly, Ashley Guarrasi, Joe Holder and Tara Stiles will be on site to guide sessions, offering professional instruction and motivation throughout the weekend.
Nutrition is an integral element of the FUEL experience. Chef Juan Guizzo will prepare menus focused on fresh, locally sourced ingredients to provide balanced, flavorful options that support training and recovery. Thoughtful meal options and healthy snacks are available throughout the weekend to keep participants energized between workouts.
True to W’s philosophy of working hard and playing hard, the itinerary balances fitness with social and leisure activities. The weekend includes welcome cocktails and healthy light bites, a two-hour open bar, and sets from DJs including May Kwok, Alan Salomon and va$htie, creating an upbeat soundtrack for gatherings and poolside relaxation. A daytime pool party and other social events allow guests to unwind and connect with other participants.
For those seeking adventure beyond structured classes, FUEL offers curated excursions such as zip lining, ATV tours, on-site spa treatments and surf lessons, all organized to showcase the destination while providing active, memorable experiences. Spa treatments and recovery services are available to help participants rest and rejuvenate after intensive training sessions.
Following the Memorial Day weekend event at W Punta de Mita, W Hotels plans to host additional FUEL weekends at W Verbier and W Dubai – The Palm later in the year, each featuring a blend of fitness programming, expert instructors and locally inspired activities tailored to the hotel’s location. These events are designed for guests who want a holistic wellness escape where high-quality instruction, nutrition and curated social experiences come together.
The refreshed FUEL series emphasizes accessible, expert-led fitness, clean and nourishing food, and a lively atmosphere that supports both serious training and vacation-style relaxation. Whether guests attend for targeted training sessions with elite coaches or to experience a wellness-focused getaway with friends, the FUEL weekends aim to deliver a cohesive mix of movement, recovery and social programming in distinctive W settings.
