WellFit with Julien Alfred at BodyHoliday 2025
National Treasure Julien Alfred is the current
Olympic 100 Meter Champion.
She is an International Ambassador for BodyHoliday.
A true Champion in our midst…
We are thrilled to be able to announce dates for Julien’s WellFit programme as 6th – 10th October 2025.
For a moment however, let’s cast our minds back to last summer in Paris.
On the day of the Women’s 100 meter sprint final, everyone in Saint Lucia gathered in bars and restaurants, at home, in the streets where screens were erected, and were on the edge of their seats (or toes).
Not only did we have a Saint Lucian in a blue riband final, but one with a decent shot at the podium. Fierce competition from the USA was either side of her.
And then the Paris Stadium went silent, you heard “set”, then the gun. From that magical moment forward we knew she’d won. Frankly she smashed it, never in doubt. We had a first ever Olympic medal. Not only that but Gold in the Blue Riband event-the 100 meters!
Then two days later she won Silver in the 200 meters.
We are thrilled therefore to tell you that Julien Alfred has graciously agreed to be our BodyHoliday Ambassador. Not only will she promote BodyHoliday at events but will also lead our WellFit Feature in October 2025
Dates have now been finalised for Julien’s WellFit Programme at BodyHoliday.
As part of our Feature series at The BodyHoliday Julien will present from October 6th to 10th, as well as the exciting addition of two other elite athletes for the “Julien and Friends” event. We’re very much looking forward to welcoming Julien and her friends and to a memorable and inspiring experience for our guests.
To be a part of this event, book as soon as you can.
About Julien
Julien Alfred is Saint Lucia’s first-ever Olympic Gold Medalist and one of the most electrifying sprinters on the world stage today. Born and raised in Castries, Julien’s athletic journey began on the island’s modest tracks, where her natural talent, work ethic, and unwavering determination quickly set her apart. She rose through the ranks with remarkable performances at youth competitions, eventually earning a scholarship to the University of Texas, where she cemented her place as a sprinting powerhouse. Her journey to being Olympic champion had begun.
WellFit Activities
Julien & “Friends” will present a series of fitness classes throughout the week. Some will be on the beach. We know it will be fun but also for those joining in, an opportunity to get a glimpse of how a world class athlete trains.
Normally our Feature month events are very much a “come-as-you-please arrangement, but anticipating a huge turnout, we will be asking for your registration, just so we can keep numbers at a sensible level.
Along with the WellFit Programme,
guests enjoy the full BodyHoliday all-inclusive experience.
