It is half past eight at XO Athletic Club by BXR. The day is only beginning. The mats go down while the air is still cool, and the first class starts before the rhythm of the resort picks up. During this special week in August, Yasmin Milne and Faisal Abdalla, both from the BXR London coaching roster, bring guests a different kind of movement experience drawn from their own fields of expertise.
Two Approaches, One Professional Standard
From 3 to 9 August, Yasmin Milne leads Pilates and stretching at 08:30, along with strength and mobility sessions at 15:00. A physiotherapist, a Pilates instructor and a former hurdler who competed at international level, Milne brings all of that directly into the way she teaches.
Her sessions put breath, alignment and control at the centre. Small but effective cues help the body move more comfortably and more efficiently. The aim reaches beyond finishing the class: to know your body better, to notice what it is asking for, and to carry that awareness into the rest of the day.
From 4 to 9 August, Faisal Abdalla leads the conditioning sessions at 11:00. At the heart of his approach lies the idea that the mind trains alongside the body, and his Positive Mental Attitude philosophy grows from exactly that.
These sessions bring together pace, motivation and functional movement. High in energy and open to every level, they focus on building confidence in the body and letting everyone progress at their own rhythm.
The Discipline of Feeling Good
What brings the two names together is the club itself. Yasmin Milne and Faisal Abdalla carry the professional approach they have built at BXR London to XO Cape Arnna, while XO Athletic Club by BXR keeps that standard alive in Fethiye through indoor and outdoor training areas, a dedicated Pilates studio and expert coaching offered to guests.
Here, movement feels like a natural part of the day rather than a separate programme running against the flow of a holiday. The measure is how you feel: a few days spent in tune with your body, staying present, and going home a little more balanced than you arrived.
Perhaps the most lasting part of the programme begins right there, in learning to listen to your body more closely and to rethink how you want to move through everyday life.
