Living in the United States for seven years, Lulwah Abaalkhail developed a passion for Pilates, leading her in 2022 to establish TAMO Pilates Studio, which has evolved into a safe space for holistic wellness in Jeddah. With a mission to guide people on a transformative journey that strengthens their physical and mental wellbeing. Join us as we explore the intricate details that make the space special.
Interiors with a Special Touch
The interiors of the studios, which significantly contribute to their persona and image, draw inspiration from the luxurious Swiss spa centers. Lulwah aimed to create a serene Zen space, starting with careful material selection for the interiors, leading to the choice of the name TAMO. This name is derived from TAMO wood, known for its calming and grounding effects on the nervous system, influencing the overall design of the studio. Incorporating various types of wood throughout, the space is crafted to offer a safe and peaceful ambiance for both clients
and visitors.

Sharing Impactful Advice
When advising individuals on incorporating Pilates into their fitness routine, the founder emphasizes that Pilates is suitable for all fitness levels, from beginners to advanced. She explains that Pilates exercises can be done using one’s body weight and outlines what a typical Pilates session entails, stating, “A typical Pilates workout consists of various exercises and stretches. Each exercise focuses on proper breathing techniques and control of abdominal muscles. For optimal results, we suggest practicing Pilates at least two or three times per week.”
She emphasized Pilates as a safe, effective exercise that improves muscular balance, strength, and flexibility. Encouraging everyone to try it and ask questions, she highlighted its dual benefits for physical and mental wellbeing, including stress management and anxiety relief.
“Once you experience Pilates, you’ll find it hard to stop.”
